finally finished the bouton book last night - it's a super quick read but it took until my kindle melted down for me to make the time to wrap it up. he mentions off-handedly an SI story about the Dalton Gang that i had never seen before but is funny: http://www.si.com/vault/1960/06/13/637793/the-dalton-gang-rides-again

I had a dream last night that I caught an Odubel Herrera hit HR in my bare hands and it didn't hurt at all.

In just 18 games he already has 1.2 WAR, or 8 percent of Ryan Howard’s career total (14.9) over 1,572 games.

Colin: The only thing with Hoskins that is really out of whack is his HR/FB, which currently stands at 40%. It’s not unreasonable to think he’ll be close to 20% given his power and the park he plays in. That’s still like 50 HR. Pretty good, I say!
Dave Cameron: Well, yeah, no one can really keep hitting 85% of their XBH as HRs. Every well struck ball he’s hit has left the yard, basically. That’s not going to last.

damn, Hoskins
― nomar, Thursday, 14 September 2017 00:43 (six years ago) link
up to 18 HR (and 26 walks!) in 34 games
― nomar, Friday, 15 September 2017 01:56 (six years ago) link
in 115 triple-a games this year he had 75 K and 64 BB
presumably the league will figure him out as it did judge, but he's for real
― mookieproof, Friday, 15 September 2017 02:02 (six years ago) link
Ryan Howard's total bWAR over the ten-year period following his MVP award: 6.3
Hoskins' this year (before today): 2.2
