Langolier's defense isn't atrocious, right?
No, no.
He's not bottom of the barrel.
Did you vote for Carson Kelly in the NL?
Did you?
Well, Kelly's like the best ever.
Kelly's like 92% last I looked at it.
Offensively, I like him.
This...
was a fun one.
If you look at OPS plus speed, Vargas jumps up to 884 and young 839.
So that's about a 44, 45 point difference in Vargas's way.
He's got a lower empty game rate.
which I like.
Sissler production scale.
I haven't talked about this because it's so confusing, Trev, but Hall of Famer George H. Sissler reinvented stats, and I have, me and Diverse have a spreadsheet on that.
It basically takes into account how many runners are on when you're up, and you get points for how many bases you move them, as well as you.
So it's also similar to OPS with runners on.
