New and Improved Chase Utley?

Don't know if anyone has noticed it, but Chase is a patient man.  At least he has been this year.

BB Rate:

2005: .110

2006: .085

2007: .082

2008: .091

2009: .149

That is a huge jump for him.  He had walked 64 times last year and is already halfway there. 

In addition, his AB/HR is at it's highest level.  Chase is turning more into a patient slugger and his rate stats are at their best so far in his career.

Thumbs down

Sorry, Utley stays.

You can have Bruntlett…

Sounds good to me

We’ll throw in Hamels and Drabek too, if that’s ok with you.

Hamels sucks

He only had 14 winz last year. I’ll stick with Moyer, thank you very much.

You can have Moyer so long as you pay for the dentures and depends.

winz

Is that a new way to standardize wins based on standard deviations above/below league average?

by PhDave on Jun 5, 2009 3:40 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah, Hamels was 14 SD's below the norm!
