It is. I think if you had told anyone at the beginning of the year that Stubbs would OPS Between .700 to .725 for the year a vast majority would have taken it. I did a little research to see how his 1st full year year compared to similar players.
Colby Rasmus - 2009 .307/.407/
.714 (16 HR/52 RBI) put up the most similar numbers in similar ball parks...
Colby Rasmus - 2010 .352/.501/.853 (19 HR/54 RBI)
Shane Victorino - .346/.414/
.760 (6 HR/46 RBI)
Matt Kemp - .340/.459/
.799 (18 HR/76 RBI)
Marlon Byrd - .366/.418/
.785 (7 HR/45 RBI)
Chris Young - .295/.467/
.762 (32 HR/68 RBI)
Adam Jones - .311/.400/
.711 (9 HR/57 RBI)
Jacoby Ellsbury - .336/.394/
.730 (9 HR/47 RBI)
Alex Rios - .338/.383/
.721 (1 HR/28 RBI)
David DeJesus - ..360/.402/
.762 (7 HR/39 RBI)
Torii Hunter - .309/.380/
.689 (9 HR/35 RBI)
Drew Stubbs - .306/.413/
.719 (15 HR/59 RBI)
So there is obviously a large chance that he will show improvement in 2011 and 2012.
