He put up a .770 OPS with the Dodgers and a .844 OPS with AZ in huge 635 PA sample. I guess they must have a Little League coach making the roster decisions....harmony wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 3:08 pmDylan Moore provides a valuable backup when a team’s frontline shortstop is sidelined.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 4:26 am
Cool.
And I hope he sits every day in favor of Dylan Moore who has an .861 OPS over his last 47 AB's to go alongside 7 stolen bases and solid glove work.
A prudent Little League coach would rely on the cited small sample for Dylan Moore.
However, the Mariners navigate the Big Leagues awash with years of data.
The sample for Moore should be given no greater weight than the sample for J.P. Crawford’s first 42 at-bats this season.
Based on years of data, ZiPS and Steamer give Jake Lamb rest-of-season wRC+ projections of 91 and 88:

Based on years of data, ZiPS and Steamer give Abraham Toro rest-of-season wRC+ projections of 93 and 102:

Lamb would become a free agent at the season's end; Toro, who has four more years of team control, got an audition for next year's team.
The Mariners apparently did not want to carry both Lamb and Toro.
