But why do most players have good BC and P? But have poor batting avg. and rarely hit home runs. Then they have the players with good PD and H. But hardly ever hit a RBI with bases loaded they always seem to fly out.

I'd take Doyle's 2024 any day from any of my players - but I've never had a player with that kind of hitting scouting. Gregory had a pretty brutal off-season in 2021, but bounced back in a huge way in 2022

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2236 New York Lancers V.4	Yeah, I would have tried to ride Burton through his slump in the hope he turned it around, but part of the problem is that I have another guy who is basically a DH-only in Parisi, and he's been killing it all year - a .305/.392/.588 slash line, with 22 HR and 100 RBI through 101 games. So Burton only gets in when Parisi is out, which is hardly ever. We're leading our division in a pennant race, and everyone else is delivering with the bat, so what chance does Burton have? He's just going to have to wait it out, but at age 31 his days may be numbered.
