The guy has mainly played on bad pitching teams in Texas. His stats are going to be highly increased due to all the garbage time at bats he had there. I know how hard it is to hit on good pitching teams that play in a pitchers park. Just look at what happens to players that come to the Dodgers. Manny is a freak. Part of the reason the fans were so in love with the guy is because players rarely do that when they come to this team. Far as I am concerned, this TEX has had a huge half of a season with the Halos. Other than that he hasn't been any star. Not like he's a difference maker. Halos were going to the post anyways. They got him for power in the post, and he provided zero power in the post.
Sample size. Please stay out of lucid conversations unless we talk about the Dodgers or Velez. And that is the 1st time I ever heard the bad pitching teams lead to greater offensive stats theory.
