And we start off at number 10.
It's ehl Hideo Suarez of the
Cincinnati Reds.
After a career year Suarez came
back toward league average at
the plate last year although was
obviously only a two month
season in twenty nineteen.
He had a career high forty nine
home runs slugging five seventy
two.
Last year he slugged a decent
for 70 and his barrels batted
ball percentage still led all
third baseman.
Now keeping in mind these small
sample size season we widen that
sample to twenty eighteen.
And over those last three
seasons Suarez leads all third
baseman and home runs with six.
That overall hitting that's
weighted once created a plus and
ninth in war.
You and I both been pretty big
on Iohannis as Suarez because
he's one of these underrated
guys.
Well wait a second.
I've got to find room for this
guy in my top 10.
I still did Michael.
I'll love you.
We're going to compare our list
later.
I still have room for Suarez.
I still believe in that power.
Where are you on him.
I have him my top 10 as well.
You know I.
I'm okay with the shredder
having towards the bottom.
I look at his season and he got
off to such a slow start for
thirty three games.
The problem is in twenty twenty
thirty three games is half the
year.
You know his second half he was
on fire again.
He would have averaged you know
if you stretch it out over the
course of the whole year he
would have averaged you know
forty plus home runs.
Again that graphic that you just
saw.
I mean second in all of baseball
homeruns in the last three years
this is this isn't just third
base but you know he's only
second to you know the
superhuman Mike Trout.
So I can't overlook the
offensive and the home run
numbers.
And defensively you know he's
one of these guys.
It's kind of weird because
t.r.'s has him as well below
average and outs above average
have him above average.
So I don't know.
That's one of those defensive
metrics where you kind of have
to you know take.
Which one do you put stock in.
I am OK having him in the you
know in the top ten list towards
the bottom.
I actually have him there as
well.
I just love the offense.
It's too much to to really
overlook.
