I wanted to share the most interesting stat line I've seen this spring and ask readers to discuss whether a line like this is a positive or negative based on the player's history.
.333/.333/.389, 30 AB, 10 H, 0 XBH, 4 BB, 1 K
Sounds like something you would see out of Placido Polanco right? This line actually belongs to Braves right fielder Jeff Francoeur. I know 30 at bats is a really small sample, but for a player trying to come back from a dreadful season, I think it's worth noting.

might be the most ridiculous post i've ever read. 30 ABs?????? are you kidding me? this doesn't even deserve being mentioned. ANYTHING can happen in 30 ABs......if you think the 4-1 BB-K ratio holds up then i have some land to sell you in the Keys.
and if you are using that line to say something positive about frenchy, a player i happen to like by the way, then you also need to look at the negative side of it. all 10 of those hits were singles......if i'm the braves i went frenchy to hit for some power.
love your site, mike. but spare us posts about 30 at-bats from a player in spring training.
Your post proved my point. Besides the small sample, it's a line so far away from anything Franc has done before and it seems really odd.
30/1 AB/K ratio is great
.333 SLG is dreadful
I'm not making any assumptions...just thought it was worth pointing out as one of the oddest occurrences of the spring.
Well, I think you're both right. 30 spring training ABs really means very little in the grand scheme of things, but it clearly is a very odd stat line for Francouer. Couple with the reports that Frenchy has tried to change his batting approach, I do think it is worth noting to see what develops. Furthermore, as a long-time fantasy player, it is advance scouting tips such as this, and an educated gamble here and there, that often make the difference between fantasy league success and being an "also-ran."
