LASIK schmASIK

By Tangotiger

Great stuff:

Year before LASIK: 97 wRC+
Year after LASIK: 109 wRC+

Now that looks pretty significant. However, you figure that players would be more likely to get something fixed after a bad season than a good season, right? Let’s narrow this group to the 24 players for whom we have three years of big league data.

Two years before LASIK: 112 wRC+
One year before LASIK: 96 wRC+
Year after LASIK: 109 wRC+

Well there you go. Definitely a response to frustrating seasons.
