"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

Neat display. One question: why do you list batting average on balls in play, over say just batting average or on-base percentage? I've always considered batting average on balls in play a marginal stat, since not putting the ball in play is pretty important to factor in.
His norm is that he's hot for stretches and cold for longer stretches.
If you don't count JBJ's first 500 or so PAs in MLB, scattered over many call-ups and send downs, his seasonal numbers are not all that inconsistent:
.832 in 2015
.835 in 2016
.726 in 2017
___ in 2018?
Maybe his norm is from .720-.820 with chances of falling outside maybe higher than most player's 100 point window projection.
