[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1657815, member: 26283"] That’s a great comparison. In 2012, Lahair kept his OPS up over 1.000 for 41 games and 152 plate appearances. Lahair then cratered for a .227/.285/.351 slash line for the remaining 228 plate appearances, and then never played in the Majors again. Schwindel has been over 1.100 for 32 games and 129 plate appearances. They’re almost the exact same age when they’re having their big portion of the year. Lahair had a little better minor league track record over a couple more seasons, but it’s not a huge difference and the differences between the various leagues, the relative ages and levels of experience in each league, and so on makes that very difficult to compare apples to apples. We can be pretty sure the Cubs didn’t suddenly stumble over the next Edgar Martinez. The question is whether Schwindel (and Ortega and Wisdom) can be relatively productive Major Leaguers at a low cost for the Cubs over the next few years. [/QUOTE]
