Looking through the stats is fun

6

Royals batters with at least 100 PA by BR WAR this season: Alex 2.0, Billy 1.5, Alcides 1.3, Frenchy 1.3, Melky 1.2, Wilson 0.9, Hosmer 0.7, Treanor 0.7, Peña 0.6, Getz 0.5, Aviles -0.3. Looks like they sent down the right guy when Moose came up. The three hitters sent down so far (Aviles, Dyson, and Kila) were the three with the lowest BA and the only three with OBPs under .300 except Alcides. Esky has a 60 OPS+ and Getz's is 71. Everyone else but the catchers (in the 90s) has an OPS* over 100. Billy's is 140 and Alex's is 125. It's really a pretty good lineup, all around. Now for a header into the cesspool. Our top seven pitchers in WAR this season are six relievers and Felipe Paulino, whose ERA+ is 308, which is going to last like about one more start. We've got Crow 1.7, Wood 0.7, Coillins 0.6, Holland 0.6, Paulino 0.6, Coleman 0.5, and Teaford 0.3. Francis and Luke are just about replacement level at 0.2. Davies is at -0.9, Boom Boom at -1.0, and SOS at a shocking -1.4. ERA+: Chen 109, Francis 81, Luke 80, Duffer 78, SOS 57, Davies 53, Boom Boom 37. Holland's is 636.
