"didn't play may-july."
that is correct. played in april (was very bad), then got hurt, then played the final 2 months of the season. which is why i said his stats all came in august & september. kinda like the one month a few years ago when aquino got hot. although, at least fraley did it for two months and not just one? whoooo! although, his august wasn't nearly as good as the one lucky month aquino had, so tough to get excited about this guy.
he's a 5th OF on a good team. the reds have him Sharpie'd into a middle of the order role. yikes.

"That Joey Votto only played 24 games. Why, he had less than 100 PAs. What kind of player is that? Nah, give me Scott Hatteberg anyday. That guy's a veteran. Votto? Meh. What's he really done against good players? He's only got an 858 OPS against minors leaguers-- that was just a lucky month against AAAA players.
I'd trade him for Eric Bedard tomorrow."

Kind of irrelevant why he was on the DL, the point remains the same.
He's not likely to top his 812 OPS of last year. I will be thrilled if he comes close to matching it.
The assertion was that we were going get significantly more production out of him (paraphrased, I don't want to find the exact quote)
I hope the guy's depression is better, but no one was making the argument that an injury was going to hamper his future production (if that's the point you were trying to make, I am not sure)

This is what I Said
By definition, if any injured person is healthy the next year, he will produce more, if you call production counting stats.Yep, Stephenson himself is really the only guy that was injured a lot last year that we can reasonably expect more production from.
If he repeats an 821 OPS, that's the same production. But I will give you the last word.

Noticed this because he punished us a couple times at the game I was at last week, but Moose has quietly turned things around out there in the Rockies. Very standard Moose season of a .795 OPS right now.
