@nmdunkel: Yeah, it is pretty interesting. I only dabble on it to suffice the articles needs or I would be there for hours. It was nice to compare Smoak with sluggers like Pujols, Ramirez, and A-Rod.

@nmdunkel: The Baseball Cube uses a 1-100 scale. I am not sure what the mlb average is.. Here are two references, Daniel Cabrera and Miguel Cairo) Cabrera - Control (12) | K-rating (74) | Efficiency (31) Cairo - Power (18) | Speed (87) | Contact (92) | Patience (13) Its essentially a tool ranker, and not necessarily solely performance based.

@ Steve: thanks bro, good peripheral info, as always. Gotta question for ya…

I’m used to the 20-80 scale, does the baseball cube use 1-100? And if that’s the case, what’s the mlb average? 60?
