Aug 8th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: 2008 Twins Game Logs

Slowey vs. Davies
Using Myron Logan's analysis of RZR data and VORP, a comparison of overall player value:

8.06 -- Gomez

Offense, VORP (runs above replacement hitter at his position):
-4.5 -- Gomez

Leadoff Hitters/Displaced Center Fielders

Jul 21st, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: Featured Articles, MLB, Minnesota Twins

AVG/OBP/SLG, since May 1st
.245/.287/.341 -- Carlos Gomez
.257/.312/.341 -- Jacoby Ellsbury
Games/Games hitting leadoff, July
15/15 -- Carlos Gomez
16/16 -- Jacoby Ellsbury
It's frustrating that Gomez isn't hitting, but it's not like the Twins are the only team making decisions like keeping a struggling rookie in the leadoff spot. If he keeps struggling and the Twins start losing, [...]

Better Living Through Bunting

Jul 9th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: Featured Articles, Minnesota Twins

42 bunts, 21 bunt hits -- Carlos Gomez, 2008*

.235/.276/.352 -- Gomez, 2008, not bunting
.500/.500/.500 [...]

Jul 7th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: Featured Articles, Guest Writers, MLB, Minnesota Twins, ubelmann

Some facts:
.284/.344/.419 -- MN vs. RHP, 10th best OPS in baseball
.266/.332/.413 -- AL vs. RHP
.262/.334/.404 -- AL vs. LHP
.261/.309/.375 -- MN vs. LHP, 28th best OPS in baseball
This might lead one to believe that the Twins have a ton of left-handed hitters on the team, making them especially susceptible to left-handed pitching, but that's not [...]
