See previous posts. His power was nowhere close to what it was before. He got lucky on grounders that year. It's obvious he's not the same player.

2013...
440 PA 22 2b 1 3b 14 hr

2015...
610 PA 33 2b 4 3b 13 hr

In ‘13, jhey had an extra base hit in 8.4% of his PA (37 extra base hits/440 PA)

In ‘15, jhey had an extra base hit in 8.2% of his PA (50 extra base hits/610 PA)

Totally different player

So, he hit less homers in almost 200 more PAs in 2015, and had virtually the same slugging percentage despite a much higher BA, and you think there was no change in his power game.

Mmm kay.

So you consider HRs the only measure of power?

[msstate7]

No power... didn’t make it over the fence

LOL did you really just use "xbh%" as a measure of power?

The non-ignorant portion of the baseball world uses ISO to describe a hitter's power. I would suggest referencing that.

I'm sorry, what kind of sorry ass strawman is that? I cited his slugging in the very post you quoted.

Don't be an idiot.

And his ISO hasn't come close to what it reached in 2013.

His slugging was higher in ‘15. His wRC+ was higher in ‘15. He was collecting fWAR at a much higher rate in ‘15. ‘15 was his career high in fWAR. He was a better player in ‘15. If it was so obvious Joey was a shadow of his former greatness, then why was he a highly coveted FA?

Well, his ISO never came close to ‘13 before ‘13 either

[CyYoung31]

Wat.

His ISO is decidedly lower since 2014 than before it.

You're just trolling right?

[Enscheff]

lol this is great guys. Keep it up!

.180 career ISO through 2013.

Hasn't topped .150 since.

I'm not even sure what you guys are arguing anymore, but it's hilarious haha.

Exactly.

Cat and thewupk, I’m bowing out of this argument. I really don’t care either way... I’ve just been passing the time this week. You two are probably right. Have a great weekend

We're discussing the advantages of writing out ISO SLG longhand.

[msstate7]

Okay, Dog.

Lol... just noticed my phone autocorrected cy to cat.

That heywood clip was classic with the graphics. Now that the flubbies are getting clobbered. Heywood is not relevant.
