Hey, Matt: Here's The Great D-Mac Vs. All Those Other Mediocrities Swing-And-Miss Competition
Here's something to look at, referent to this comment:
Dallas seems to be higher than either Rick Monday or Jack Howell in his swing-and-misstitude, but lower than Rob Deer, who somehow cobbled together a career despite it. Still, it would be a lot more comforting to see him strike out in fewer than 30% of his at bats.
Update: Okay, Salmon and Glaus duly added -- making the chart less clear, by the way. As well, I added minor league records for everyone where I could get strikeout data, meaning everyone but Rob Deer.
Comments:
Can you put Salmon's and Glaus' strikeouts/AB by age on that graph, too. I think someone commented a few days ago (it may have been Matt), that they had really high K rates in the minors as well.
I think a fraction of a rookie season can hardly be used to determine long term ML success. Let's give him a full year before we crucify the dude!
