GDT: 9/21 Fish Fry In Atlanta

Some good underlying inputs for Swanson, despite the slump, courtesy of TC:

A few pieces of positive news for Dansby:

His average exit velocity during the slump (90.3 MPH) has been higher than was when he was still getting positive results (87.9 MPH)

His BABIP prior to the slump? .402. His BABIP during it? .054.

During the slump, his strikeout rate over that span (27.9%) is only marginally higher than it had been when the slump started (26%)

His pre-slump walk rate was 7.0%; it has been 9.3% during his swoon

Yup, this is why we don't judge players by small sample size results in the year 2020. A .054 BABIP is even less sustainable than a .400 mark.

Swanson was lucky early, and is unlucky now. Still the exact same player.

.270/.340/.430?
 
Swanson, on the year, has been unlucky thanks to the horrendous results as of late. Still he hasn't been quite as unlucky as last season.

.357 xWOBA in 2019
.351 xWOBA in 2020

Which are huge improvements from his 2017-2018 numbers.

Results aren't all the way there yet but I'll take the ~.350 xWOBA with non-embarrassing defense at short.

It was a good move on paper, circa this past offseason. And maybe it works out in a theoretical alternate 2020 whose season isn't severely truncated.

As it stands, however, it was a cursed deployment of $6.66 million.
