Joe Mauer
Walt Davis says:
Still, it’s over a 5-sigma variation which does suggest that this is a “process out of control” but all that tells us is that the “failure” rate (where each HR is a “failure") is higher than it used to be. The question then becomes what’s the new rate. It will be several hundred PA before we’ll have a good estimate of that but I’ll just point out that Adrian Gonzalez had 11 HR in May in 5 fewer PA so there’s no reason to think Mauer’s new level of talent is any higher than Gonzalez’s (who, to this point, has been a 25-35 HR guy though obviously he’s on a torrid pace right now).
And as always, I point folks towards Steve Dillard, Aug 2-17 1979—this sort of thing can happen “randomly.”
