It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

450 outs generated with a combination of strikeouts and fielded outs is still a LOT of outs to make. Adam Dunn hit 40 homers for a sub-1 WARP a few years ago, then followed it with 30 bombs for a sub-0 WARP.


But you said both have equivalent OBP, so they're making the exact same amount of outs, and would have the exact same OPS.

I think a better metric is to say each will walk 8% of the time. Rick's OBP would be 0.333, Tony's would be 0.205 assuming they walk at the same rate (48 walks over 600 PA). In this case Rick would be the much better player. If you're really saying that Rick is going to hit strictly doubles and never walks, and Tony hits strictly HR, and gets the same amount of walks, then I would pick Tony since it's a guaranteed run each time.

Balks are good because it's a funny sounding word and I get to yell it at the ump anytime the opposing pitcher throws to first. No, I don't know how to describe a balk.

Edit: Also, yes go see a minor league game. Not only are the tickets cheaper, but the concessions stands are cheaper too. I went to an Independent league game outside Cleveland about two years back. I think I paid $15 to sit like 5 rows up from home plate, and beers were $4 each.

Do they serve bloody marys that I can dip my celebratory celery into?
