为了响应 RJJ的号招~
我把之前看的一篇文章转过来给大家看看~
这里面有讨论到目前M.Giles打击上的问题~
虽然结论不是很认同~但是提供给大家另依种思考!!
我觉得它的成绩很选球有很大的关系~不像作者所说的运气成分占大部分
还有这是我第一次听到他被怀疑跟"类固醇"有关的事
内文
With all of the talk of Braves fans focused on the struggles of Adam LaRoche
Jeff Francoeur, and the bullpen one very bad season is flying under the radar
Marcus Giles has gone from being one of the best offensive second basemen
baseball to Keith Lockhart, putting up a .235/.326/.324/.650 line for the year.
While Giles has been a little unlucky, his PrOPS for the year is .687
which isn’t so hot. What happened? Well, what talk I have seen about Giles
often mentions steroids, and the suggestion is understandable given
the burden of proof for these things these days.
Giles is playing about 180 OPS-points below his career. And since his breakout
season in 2003, his isolated-power has dropped from .216 to .132 and .170
in 2004 and 2005.
This year, it’s under .100. Given the stiffer testing policies people
are wondering if that’s the cause.
But the thing is, although Marcus is playing below some of his past numbers,
there is a very good explanation for his drop-off: it’s a mirage,
his early power was a fluke. It turns out that Giles has been one of
the luckiest hitters in baseball over the past four seasons.
In my article on PrOPS in the The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2006,
I list the 25-luckiest PrOPS seasons—meaning OPS exceeded PrOPS—over
the pas four years. Giles appears twice: his 2003 is number 11
(overperformance of 0.086) and his 2005 is number 19 (overperformance of 0.081).
Additionally, based on Giles past PrOPS performance,
I projected he’d have an OPS of 0.776 this year.
He’s still hitting below that, but I don’t expect his OPS to stay
where it is for the rest of the season.
Giles is not a bad player, in fact, he’s a good player with excellent defense
and on-base skills. However, those flashes of a potential MVP that everyone saw
including me—were largely a product of luck, not steroids. The only juice
Giles might have been on is Felix Felicis.
