I wasn't referring to it as the "Matty Line" in any way other than to give it a name. I did so because the numbers came from one of your posts. No underlying intent existed. I also tried to point out that at that line he was living in pretty rarified air. If you want to say that .750 is the Moe Line, I'm good with that. I'm not betting on .750, or saying that's a more natural Over/Under figure, just saying that even at that level he's still a really good OF'er. I know you weren't betting on the higher figure, either. I'll be the first in line to give you a fist bump if he's in the .800 area code.
There are a lot of Griffeys, Buhners and Ichiros on that first list. 14 times of the times M's OF's have sniffed at or beat .815 were done by Hall of Famers. Haniger at .815 is a heck of a baseball player. One of the best OF'ers in the game.
But if he wins a GG in RF and hits 22 HR's, everything else is gravy.
At .815 and 500 PA's and 100 OF games, I get the 9 guys I wrote of above and Springer, Saunders, Harper, Fowler, Marte, Tomas. That's by doing a team by team search on B-R.
Trumbo and Bautista missed the 100 game mark by just a bit. Peterson, Pence, Bruce, Stanton and Reddick didn't get the AB's.
Haniger as any one of those guys makes me very happy.
No foul intended, Matt.
