Please welcome Max! He's @FreezeStats on Twitter. We talk about:
0:40 Max's blog and research
4:40 Players who earned more HR than they achieved
9:15 We consider what Dodger Stadium could do for Mookie Betts
14:50 "Not all barrels are created equal" (Launch angle and pulling the ball matter a ton)
20:25 Ozuna - example of a pull hitter who "earned" more than he achieved
22:35 Adding in Alex Chamberlain's "Deserved Barrels"
25:00 We move on to a player debate on Oscar Mercado
Then we discuss rd 15...
38:05 Probably avoid Jo Adell at 210
40:20 Target Justin Upton at 220
41:10 Target Avisail Garcia at 224 (and hope he plays every day!)
42:20 Throw back to "Not all barrels are created equal" -- Max's next research project
43:25 Target Rougned Odor at 217
45:25 Target Jose Urquidy
47:45 Avoid Kolten Wong at 216
48:55 Discussion on Narvaez and other catchers in this range
51:00 One last exhortation to avoid risky closers...although Nick Anderson might be a value even without 20+ saves.
Thanks for listening! Find me on Twitter @commonsensefbb.
