Happy that the team is hitting ...
Brendan Ryan has a 1550 OPS.
IMO, That kind of puts the whole "how much do ST stats mean into some perspective".
Honestly, while I think Peguero ultimately washes out, I'm pretty happy with the 2013 offensive outlook.
My concern is with the rotation. Z has shown great "flexibility" in regards to rotation handling. He has not shown (historically) that his initial choices out of ST are all that great, (Pineda the exception that proves the rule).
Forgotten are the 2009 choices like: Jaku, Olson and Snell (before rolling Yahtzee with Fister).
Buried are the 2010 memories of RRS implosion and French failures
Ignored are the 2011 days of dreadful 10 Furbush starts or the 7-start Vasquez debacle
Not so forgotten are the 18 Noesi starts (that could've gone to Erasmo or Iwakuma).
Z is plus-plus at fixing deficiencies.
The club has been fair to poor at making the best choices for the rotation coming out of ST.
