Actually by this analysis, he was exactly the typical amount of disappointing you get with position players coming from the Japanese leagues.

And we must all remember that Refsnyder's OPS benefited from being heavily platooned.

His OPS drops to around .800 in his first year. His defense isn't great but isn't awful.
His second year is better. He gets a pretty good contract or extension.
His third year is even better, and that level becomes his regular production.
Whichever team signs him 2 years from now gets a good deal.

... especially for me as a Pats fan living in Bears country, with Bears/Cubs loving in-laws (who are cool tho because they're partial to the Pats/Red Sox ... kind of like me in reverse)

Hamilton would try bunting for hits, but in his haste to start running he'd abandon the task of actually making contact with the ball, and he'd make himself an easy out. I wish someone would teach him how to do it right.

"HP to 1B" is how fast the runner gets from home to first, when they're trying. Left-handed hitters have an advantage with this, because they don't have as far to run; they're about 0.1 s faster than right-handed hitters, on average.

If they get Ketel Marte, this becomes a 3-player prediction.
If they get Bregman, I keep it at 2.

Even if I didn't know a single thing about Trump or the things he was talking about here, I would find this rant to be excessively boastful and self-centered, and because of that, not very trustworthy.
But knowing how horribly and dangerously he lies about others in this makes it so very much worse.

That is wild! I've never seen that. Thank you for sharing.

Two other ways to look at the consistency in passing yards. Standard deviation is the better measure here, as it is resistant to the effects of outliers, while the ratio of lowest to highest is entirely based on outliers.
Either way, there's a low tier, a middle tier, and a Drake Maye tier.
