"Fun" with small sample sizes

Watching the April Rays

I'm really going to go out on a limb in this article and make some bold claims. You may not agree with all of them, because I'm not going to play it safe. Columbus didn't discover the New World by laying out on the beach in the Canary islands, and I'm not going to stop either just because some baseball canary squawks "too bold!" at me.

Here goes nothing:

  • Steven Souza Jr. is not going to hit a home run on 60% of his fly balls. Yes, the man is strong, yes, the man is pious, and yes, the Rays acquired him because they thought he could hit home runs.
