I said this once and you basically shrugged it off.

I did a little more looking at this, and it looks like there is at least something there.

At his current 5.0% infield hit rate, he is on pace for something like 9 or 10 on the season.

He averaged 20.4 infield hits from 06-10. Over the course of 400 PA (roughly where he's at now), he would have been expected to have 11-12 infield hits so far this season; He has 6.

So if he was at his usual pace, his BABIP would be something like .295.

So the question is, do we think the drop in IFH% (which has been a steady one since '10, mind you) is luck related, or skill related? That could be the difference between expecting a .330 BABIP vs. a .310 one. That's a pretty big gap, and indicates that in his case, it might not all be the result of bad luck.

So, he could still be underperforming as a result of some bad luck, but it might not be as pronounced as it initially seems when you just go "Look at 06-10!" It might be the difference between "Peak Old Hanley = .940 OPS" and "Peak New Hanley = .840 OPS."

Something to think about, I suppose.

I find the amount of defensive plays in that highlight video ironic.

Realizing he has been unlucky this year, I still won't miss him (if the 35 million saved is reinvested).

Not a fan.

I'm sad. Good luck Han the man.

Good riddance

I hate the "disinterested" line. Hanley is a competitor. Dude isn't disinterested, he's just maybe not that good anymore.

I TOLD YOU SO!!!

His OPS is all of .020 points higher now that he is interested.

Don't pat yourself on the back you might break your spine.
