[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1512608, member: 619279"] Man, Paul DeJong has inherited Matt Holliday's criminally underrated Cardinal mantle. Guy is a top 3 all around NL shortstop on the cheap, has gotten better every year, is probably the best defensive SS in the NL, and will likely never be appreciated on the correct level because he doesn't quite look the part. The whole "line up protection" and "clutch" stats are mostly just sample size noise. Over a large sample, no one has been able to statistically show that the surrounding hitters have any meaningful impact on the subject batter. Same with clutch stats, guys mostly just hit like they hit over a large enough sample, no matter the situation. Kris Bryant is a good example, he was legitimately bad in "high leverage" at bats before 2019, recording an 84 wRC+ in that small sample. Then in 2019 he had a 153 wRC+ in "high leverage" raising his career to 94 wRC+. Obviously moving forward, you'd expect that 94 wRC+ in high leverage to keep creeping up to his career 139 wRC+ as the sample gets bigger. [/QUOTE]
