In response to "career .283 hitter with .342 OBP, .720 OPS. I am betting he tops that playing in a better hitters park. nm -- nm" by groiny

He's a lefty hitter without power. He's not going to get cheap hits off the Monster.

he's not going to be much more if at all.

we will see soon enough.... - groiny Dec 28, 14:48 11
- I see no reason to assume he'll get 500 AB's since he's a part-time player in Oakland and Boston's better - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:51 10
  - also, compare his part time numbers this season with your own Markakis. - groiny Dec 28, 14:54 6
    - Trust me, this isn't the indictment you think it is. Markakis has been awful for his salary for the last 3 years. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:55 5
      - Also, Markakis' lowest OPS+ in his career is 106; Sweeney's highest is 99. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:58 2
        
        again, ballpark factors pretty big into that number. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:59 1
        
        No, the OPS+ is park-adjusted. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:59
      - there are 20 teams would love to have Markakis on their teams - groiny Dec 28, 14:57 1
        
        I wish we could find one of them to take him. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:59
  - this is the blurb from RotoWorld.... - groiny Dec 28, 14:52 2
    - Yep, nothing offensive there (other than he will platoon most likely) -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:54 1
      - even if he platoons, 400+ AB is likely, and he was injured for a chunk of this year - groiny Dec 28, 14:55
