This is simplistic, but his walk rate is roughly cut in half. I have confidence in that conversion as well as HR conversions.

That said, the model does exceptionally well predicting power and walk rates. It is awful at predicting gap to gap power and contact hitting.

KBO free agent so no posting fee, looks like solid gap power, fairly young at 27, Left handed, and phenomenal BB:K rate. Seems like the type who could carve out a few solid mlb seasons.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-8827964902825694432015-12-08T12:32:07.159-05:002015-12-08T12:32:07.159-05:00I try not to get too bogged down with trade target...I try not to get too bogged down with trade targets because the market is rather fluid.
