2k12: Josh Reddick

[Flyman]

After a mammoth May, he's come back to earth...8 HR and 23 RBI in his last 47 games, but he's had a .280 BA with it. He seems like a solid 25-28 HR guy (though he'll hit more this year) who will struggle to drive in runs with his .183 career RISP avg.

AVG with RISP is not a repeatable skill historically, so I doubt that that is anything worth worrying about long-term with Reddick.

Except that he has historically struggled with RISP. He's never had a good BA with RISP>

He's had a total of 220 plate appearances in his career with runners in scoring position, not a large enough sample to be meaningful. Given that only a handful of players in major league history with reasonably long careers have ever had an OPS with runners in scoring position that was more than 20% under or 20% over their overall OPS, I'd say he's likely due for a regression to his mean rather than continuing to hit 47% worse than overall with runners in scoring position.

Dude just flat out sucks lately. Will he start producing or continue to suck? My bet is he sucks.

#24 with a bullet, and 3 more RBIs to go with it. Those who held have been sufficiently rewarded. Those who don't know the meaning of the word "streaky" hopefully didn't get undersold.
