Kyle Blanks' card is intriguing in a number of ways, but I think there might be a slight problem with it. Blanks had 6 doubles in 120 pa and if you look at the splits had 5 doubles vs rhp in 89 pa. And yet, he doesn't have a double possibility on his card. Somehow I can't imagine pitchers giving up 30 doubles to him over 600 pa (which he would never reach given his injury rating). Are there any explanations?

Okay, I won't, but he did have a .387 obp and .487 slg vs. lhp, numbers not to be scoffed at. 5 doubles in 79 ab vs rhp should at least give him some doubles chances on his card. How many more secondary players have been given short shrift because maybe we're not really going to look that closely as we would for the big boys?
