Jace Peterson

Jace has probably been a bit lucky in regards to babip, but he's also probably been unlucky in the power dept.
 
Wow, I was just perusing bref and noticed that Jace already has a .4 dWAR, which would tie him for 14th in the NL. Where would he be if he didn't sit earlier in the year?

Jace has also saved 3 runs at second according to DRS, for comp sake Simmons the best of the best has a 9 DRS so far while playing every game.

In a perfect world Jace Peterson would be very good but highly underrated. Except by those of us in the know.

Kind of the opposite of Heyward who isn't very good but overrated and a disappointment relative to our expectations.

JMO, but Jace is Prado with speed and a little more defensive value since he actually could handle SS for an extended period of time.

Betcha that 29 other teams would love to have that even if he never becomes a regular.

A lineup full of Jace Peterson at the current level would not score many runs.

I disagree (well at least as far as Jace's current production). I think any lineup with 8 players who get on base at a .350 clip but very little power will still score a ton of runs. You are going to average somewhere around 11 or 12 base runners per game.

Anyone still have the offese simulator? This would be a great thread for MikeAdams to make an appearance.

Jace's Runs Created per game is 4. NL average is 4.10 runs per game.

good point, put a player his caliber defensively at all the spots and that would be a superb defensive team.

Yup. So if it's a positive differential then it seems to make sense to get Jace in the lineup regardless of where he plays.
 
The thing about playing small ball is that you have to be more efficient than a team with power. It can take two or three hits to score as opposed to one. The surprise to me is that the Braves are exhibiting more power than I expected, which has boosted performance.

Peterson looks to be someone who could develop into a pretty good player. Above-average physical tools. If he can get them to translate, we may have something special.
 
No telling if Kelly and AJ can sustain their power all year. Not likely tbh. So Beth, Markakis have to bring more power. Maybin I'm confident if given more PT will show some power.

What about run prevention in comparison to average?

Hard to say since we don't really know what Jace's base line is. He's played well the first month of the season but as we know defenisve stats aren't the most reliable in short sample sizes like this especially without any prior years to base them off of. A quick guess though would be the Royals of last year. Average offense and plus plus defense. Which I know is the exact team that you would want.
