Not too promising overall for some of our hopes. Of course some players buck the trend but seems like our dreams of Jason becoming a freak or Freddie becoming a monster may be dashed. WE may have seen the best or will be seeing the best soon out of those 2.

I think the recent results are skewed because overall offense has been declining. I don't think the study adjusts for league averages.

Wrc+ weighs league and park. Its not as extreme as the woba. But the points are interesting. Especially the point about the change in minor league conditioning and diet.
