The last three parts are all linked to the Mauer versus Delmon comparison, rather than the "Traps" and "Future" posts.
Aside from that, fantastic analysis. I had no idea Delmon was originally a right fielder and we moved him.
He's making contact with 70+% of balls outside the zone this year, thereby halving his K-rate. His ISOP is up while his BABIP is looking VERY unlucky vs. his career .340ish number coupled with his vastly increased speed. He's gone from being a defensive liability to a rangey, cannon-armed asset. He's working hard and improving everyday. THAT'S what the hell happened to Delmon Young, circa now. GET ON BOARD!
