I'm still dubious because he really hasn't been more than mediocre offensively in 700
+ plate appearances at AAA level.
Not exact matches
He's appeared in 140 games, accrued 568
plate appearances, and batted.288 /.354 /.496 for a 122 OPS
+ in them.
He was awful in a short stint as a rookie in 2013, and then had the worst OPS
+ of anyone with at least 400
plate appearances in 2014.
That's not an exaggeration, either: minimum 3,000
plate appearances, from Votto's debut in 2007 through 2015, he ranked second in the majors in OPS
+ behind only Miguel Cabrera.
Fielder's career line is.283 /.382 /.506 — good for a 134 OPS
+, which ranks eighth among all hitters with at least 5,000
plate appearances between 2005 and 2016.
Ortiz has managed three straight 30
+ home run seasons, but has had at least 600
plate appearances in each of those seasons.
