2016 Free Agents: Batting Stats at OPaCY

This is a list of upcoming free agent and how they've faired at OPaCY for their career, sorted by OPS. Minimum 50PA. Asterisk indicates player has a club option; good players generally have theirs picked up and are not ultimately available as free agents.

My understanding of tOPS+ is how each player's OPS at this ballpark compares to their career OPS in general (for example, David Ortiz has a career .923 OPS, but only .851 here at OPaCY, giving him a negative tOPS+, but he's still nasty here in Baltimore).

My apologies if the formatting is terrible!

So many Oriole killers. Rajai Davis or Joyce would be good options if they come on the cheap.

The Orioles like cheap!

I was more impressed by how terrible Jose Bautista is at Camden Yards.

I think we're going to find that Matt Joyce is an Oriole next year.

Matt Joyce is batting .165 with 1 homer right now.

Joyce doesn't know when the game starts.

He'll be extra on sale then

I see 5 position player spots open for next year

Joseph

Schoop

Hardy

Machado

Jones

Snider

Paredes

Flaherty

I see those 8 players back more than likely. Of course Snider could be gone and perhaps Flaherty. So the 5 open spots are.

Backup C

1B

3 OF spots

If course players like Pearce, Young, Lough and even Cabrera could be back.

While it's interesting who hits what where, splits like this would have little or no bearing on deciding who to sign. Most of these guys have < 200 PAs at OPACY, which is like judging someone based on numbers through May. It might have some meaning, but it's subject to enough biases that you'd be better off looking at larger samples of PAs from all parks.
