Ozzie And Dansby

Swanson has an WOBA of 465 and an xWOBA of 451. Definately not sustainable but his numbers aren't a fluke. He's hitting the piss out of the ball.

Semantics aside, with a HR/FB normalized to 10%-15% and all else remaining exactly as it is now, his current slash line would go from .324/.419/.765 to around .265/.360/.470. Folks are underestimating just how much a few early HRs can inflate a batting line.

An .830 OPS from Swanson is quite different than his current OPS of nearly 1.200, but still a very valuable SS.

With Swanson's defense a .830 OPS is an all-star player. Last year that's what Didi GRegorious was at and he was a 4 WAR player.

The natural question then follows....When is Chipper going to be our next manager?

Probably never. Assuming he invested well he made 170M. He doesn't need to manage ever. I don't think he will. He gets to hang around the team and make some minor money. I think he'll probably get a Hank Aaron type of deal at some point where he makes like a million bucks a year just to kind of be around the team.

Yeah I'm just hoping that he turns into a player that can consistently put up an .800+ OPS. That would be an immensely valuable player for us.

I mean 800+ OPS with plus defense is basically Xander Bogaerts. Nothing wrong at all with that.

Yep. And I've been fooled by a Dansby hot streak before, but there does seem to be something different and more sustainable about the current one. He's clearly making really good decisions at the plate.

Definitely on point with this

No one thinks he's going to sustain anything close to a 1.200 OPS.

An .830 OPS would be incredible from him this year.
 
If Dansby were still swinging at junk and getting lucky and running into a few home runs I’d call it a fluke, but he just doesn’t look like the same hitter he was the last 2 years. Chipper has made a big difference thus far with Swanson.
