Let's talk Tucker. No, the other Tucker--not the Astros' fifth pick in the draft.
A few days ago, a game thread comment asked a question about Preston Tucker. Here is the gist of the question:
Question: Will someone write a sabermetric article about Preston Tucker's offensive potential? Tucker may have a better offensive season than Kris Bryant.
This wouldn't be a sabermetric column if we didn't emphasize the small sample size warning. Preston Tucker has batted in only 227 plate appearances. This isn't a reliable sample for predicting the future. His end-of-season stat line could be quite different from his performance half-way through the season.
