On Friday, Lou Piniella stated that he plans on giving Geovany Soto a mental break by having him sit out the next few games. I want to take this opportunity to emphasize how unlucky Soto has been this year. He has improved his EYE from 0.51 last year to 0.77 this year; he has improved his LD rate (21% last year vs. 22% this year); and finally, he has improved his contact rate (74.7% last year vs. 75.8% this year). The root of Soto’s problems this year stem from a BABIP of .265 that is understated by almost 80 points. The lone concerning statistic for Soto is his extra-base hit rate, which has plummeted from 12.1% last year down to 3.9% this year. My feeling is that once a few more of his batted balls start avoiding leather, his game will round into form. He makes one of the best buy-low candidates at the moment. 簡譯:小熊教頭Lou Piniella說他計畫讓Soto做幾場板凳，讓他為持續的低潮做點心理調 適。我想要趁這機會跟大家分享一下，Soto今年到底有多衰。Soto的眼睛比去年進 步許多；平飛球率跟去年差不多；CT率甚至比去年好，但是，他的BABIP只有低得 可憐的.265，由此可見他有多衰。他唯一的隱憂是消失的長打，他的XBH%從去年的 12.1%降到今年的3.9%。但我的感覺是，他是最佳的逢低買進人選之一。 短評:當初笑我先選V Mart跳過Soto是錯誤大決定的那位板友可以舉個手嗎? -- 更多亂七八糟的Fantasy Baseball News http://www.wretch.cc/blog/moneyball --
