I was comparing M. Chapman's and Jose Ramirez' offensive stats and couldn't see why Ramirez cost $2.03M more than Chapman. As it turns out the little things add up.
Hits/OB/TB Chapman - vs. LHP - 28/41/41 2 BPHR's vs. RHP - 23/34/48 7 BPHR's
Ramirez - vs. LHP - 23/33/44 3 BPHR's vs. RHP - 15/41/41 8 BPHR's
Chapman is the better offensive player by a bit. Then I started looking at other parts of their cards and can now see why there is a price difference.
Ramirez is a switch hitter. Stole 34 bases vs. 1 for Chapman. 10 fewer errors at 3rd. He's a 680 guys vs. Chapman's 600+. Clutch is -2 vs. -5. 0 DP's vs. Chapman's 17. Ramirez has 2nd base eligibility. Not that you would play him there.
Subtract Chapman's advantage at the plate from Ramirez' intangibles and whaddya get? $2.03M
Trout, including HBP has over 600 plate appearances yet has a 2 inj rating. Always thought the standard for a 1 inj rating was 600 PA's. I know a few years ago Bonds also had a 2 inj rating, but was still only subject to a 3 game max injury.
