re notes on jays vs indians series something else to consider alomar s h r splits were slg obp baerga s was and pretty clearly alomar got a huge boost from his home park not necessarily it could mean that or it could mean that he just hit a lot better at home than he did on the road see frank thomas home road splits in for an example i would guess that some of alomar s split is due to the skydome but most of it is probably due just to coincidence there s no way to be sure of course but the only hitters the skydome seems to regularly help a lot are right handed home run hitters and alomar is not a home run hitter i d say you could make a good for them being about equal right now t p rated baerga higher actually only because of t p s bogus fielding stats which rate alomar as the worst defensive second baseman in the league on a career basis i think t p s fielding stats may mean something but on a seasonal basis it comes up with ridiculous results like this alomar may not be the god of fielding the media says he is but he sure isn t the worst in baseball offensively t p rate alomar much higher last year regarding the a vs b argument i ll just say they re both very good players with different strengths and a bright future greg
