I went with Romanski though half of his hits came in one game. Only 2Ks though.

Man, people are just getting this wrong. This is a case where the sample sizes are so unequal that it's hard to compare. (And folks are also forgetting that a point of OBP is worth 2 points of SA.)

Hudson had a .374 TAv in 33 PA. Romanski had a .388 TAv in 20 PA.

What would Romanski have had to do to match Hudson, in the missing 13 PA?

Umm, 6/13 with a 2B (which gives him .372). He's just not doing that. He's not coming close to that, given who he is. In fact, no one could be expected to do that, which makes Hudson's unquestionably the better week.

Based on Romanski's season line, he's going 3/12, BB, and ending up at .355 / .394 / .548 (.320 TAv) versus Hudson's .444 / .545 / .481 (.374 TAv).

To put it succinctly: they had the same week, except Hudson got his value more from OBP and Romanski more from SA.

And then Hudson went 6/13 with a 2B while Romanski sat and watched. 'Nuff said.

Heh, between him, Asuaje, Matty Johnson, and Dreily Guerrero, that can be one small Salem lineup at times.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD
