I took it as a compliment. Everyone likes Chubbs.

I could have looked at his line drive percentage or his BABIP, but I try to stick to the stats that average folks like me can wrap their head around.

A big difference between Jake and Soto is Jake has always hit the ball, look at his last four years and then look @Geo. Geo had two monster seasons, nothing before, nothing last year.
One thing your Jamesian analysis did not take into consideration the last month and a half is the number of balls that Jake squared up that were caught, did’nt leave the confines because of a strong wind blowing in.
He will be fine-as soon as he leaves the Chubs- there is a reason that they have not won a thing in over a 100 years.The second highest payroll in baseball and that’s what you get? Pitiful.

Maybe they think he’ll face Suppan a lot.

Wow – it is in limited action, but that’s a really optimistic prediction.

I know, I know – usually my posts are much shorter and less well thought out.

Looks like the 2010 Bill James predictions are free online…

For what it’s worth, they think Jake Fox will go .284/.339/.546 with 13HR and 44 SO in 218 PAs in 2010.

Yeah, for what it’s worth…

Very nicely put. And also, very depressing.
