I am looking at a deal to get him and Reyes but am concerned that the Blue Jays might still be hurting with the injured underperforming Bautista
Really depends on who you would be giving up because both are risky at this point, well riskier than they normally have been

I know he isn't this good, I know he had a hot streak last April and then sucked all year, I know he's a quad-A guy... but over the last month Chris Colabello has been a top-50 player in mixed leagues.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

"For small numbers of at-bats, it is possible (though unlikely) for a player's on-base percentage to be lower than his batting average (H/AB). This happens when a player has almost no walks or times hit by pitch, with a higher number of sacrifice flies (e.g. if a player has 2 hits in 6 at-bats plus a sacrifice fly, his batting average would be .333, but his on-base percentage would be .286). The player who experienced this phenomenon with the most number of at-bats over a full season was Ernie Bowman. In 1963, with over 125 at-bats, Bowman had a batting average of .184 and an on-base percentage of .181."

I did the math for Reyes: in 70 ABs, BA .257; OBP .250
edit: thinking about this a bit more, I think this is a fault with the OBP calculation. I understand the idea of adding ABs + HBP + BB + SF to come up with the total number of plate appearances, but I think the same logic should apply for OBP as for BA with respect to SFs ... that is, if a hitter is sacrificing themselves to move a baserunner it does not equate to a typical AB where the hitter did not get on base. IMO SF's should be removed from the denominator of the equation.
it wouldn't surprise me if this has already been discussed here ... but in case not I wanted to register my complaint for posterity.
edit II: I read the following from the same wikipedia page that virgo linked to above ...Sacrifice bunts (sacrifice hits since 1954), which would lower a batter's on-base percentage, are not included in the calculation for on-base percentage, as bunting is an offensive strategy – often dictated by the manager – the use of which does not necessarily reflect on the batter's ability and should not be used to penalize him.Last edited by TranaGreg; 06-01-2015, 03:46 PM.It certainly feels that way.

Shhhh!!!!
