Hit rate is Hits Allowed per Balls in Play. You exclude hrs obviously. It is in Shandler's Forecaster. It's not a magic formula for hitters, as you need to establish 3 year trends to follow it closer. But in looking, he had a 30% rate in AA, and 31% in AAA, so i think 38%, is probably not the trend.

I will assume that that was meant to be 15-20 right DHC...

..it would be cool if he hit 45 HR

definetly I drafted him in one of my keeper leagues

...I don't know what ya'll are talking about.....

Ahh.. Shandlers. Looks like a useful stat, but I gotta spend $24 to get it? :-/

Don't get caught up in the hypnotic powers of the Forecaster, Hootie. I find it leads you down the wrong road more often than the right one.

Pretty much lol. What's $24? Consider it a extra XMAS present.

Why you buy it is a mystery to me, since you always slam it? The road only goes where the driver takes it.

I thought the saying was:
"When you come to a fork in the road, take it"

SWINGER If you are interested in books, check out Amazon.com. They are much cheaper then in stores, about 25% to 30% savings, plus free shipping over $25 order. The Forecaster isn't discounted however, but Bill James Handbook and The Scouting NoteBook are. ;-D

Yeah, I've checked at amazon, and I'm considering it. But FB is still just a pasttime for me right now, and I'm not in any pay leagues.
