Dodger's Predicted OPS leaders, or OPS based on batted balls:

Martin - .849
Ethier - .809
Kent - .790
Loney - .754
Kemp - .742
DeWitt - .735
Pierre - .721

--------------------------------

Dan Syzmborski uses ZIPS to project Juan Pierre's career numbers. Thankfully, the computer says he won't be Hall Of Famer Juan Pierre.

------------------------------

Ben Sheets will try free agency this year, giving us someone to go after once the Yankees throw 500 million at C.C. Sabathia.

Awesome!

Now we’ll have someone else to go on the DL when Nomar’s contract is up.

What am I missing?

Loney is OPSing .831 right now. Are we saying he won’t keep that up?

Also, clicking the Syzmborski link: Juan Pierre is one of the nicest really bad baseball players I’ve ever seen. I mean he’s a really nice guy, works hard and absolutely sucks out loud. Great guy, though.

Nope, if your PrOPS is signifigantly lower than your real numbers, it means that you’re getting a lot of hits on non line drives. It’s really hard to keep that up.
