If Plouffe hit where Dozier hits in the order, he'd have a lot less double plays.......it is largely a function of the fact he bats with guys on base, and he hits the ball hard (and he's slow).

 

Dozier: (with less than 2 outs)
PA w/ runner on 1st: 57

PA w/runners on 1st and 2nd: 18

PA w/runners on 1st and 3rd: 5

PA w/ bases loaded: 9

 

Plouffe: (with less than 2 outs)

PA w/ runner on 1st: 66
PA w/runners on 1st and 2nd: 23

PA w/runners on 1st and 3rd: 10
PA w/ bases loaded: 13

 

So essentially Plouffe has been in a DP situation 23 more times and grounded into 19 more double plays than Dozier.

Ouch. Not good. Love the numbers, thanks
