.589 OPS
3 BB in 80+ Plate Appearances
.218 Batting Average.
You look at all these statistics and say.. yep Berroa's ROY of the year compaign was a fluke. The sad thing is.. I've watched Berroa a lot this season and I've liked just about everything he has been doing at the plate.
Pitches/Plate Appearance
2003: 3.68
2004: 3.58
2005: 3.95
Berroa is seeing more pitches and has done an excellent job of laying off pitches out of the zone. The results haven't shown up in his BB totals but he is doing a better job at the plate.
GB/FB ratio
2003: 1.32
2004: 1.76
2005: 0.89
Angel is getting the ball in the air and hitting it hard.. The hits just aren't dropping in right now. He is also the only effective base stealer on our team, snagging 3 bags in four chances for the break even point of 75% success.
There are a lot of things that irritate me this season. Teahen getting hurt so that I had to endure Graffanino and Joe McEwing. The existence of Jose Lima. Eli Marrero. But nothing is grating on me more than Berroa's struggles despite a much improved approach at the plate. Unless he starts getting some hits he will probably go back to swinging at everything and that would be a shame.

This "sabermetric" analysis borders on criminal. You should know better, I can poke so many holes in your argument that I don't know where to start.
