Blue Jays had too many guys who would strikeout in clutch situations. I get that RBI is a meaningless stat, but 2 out walks with no one on and a lot of solo home runs was pretty much what Belt delivered. So yeah the 858 OPS looks nice, but was it that productive? He scored 53 runs and drove in 43 in 400 plate appearances. Plus the injury factor and 141 strikeouts... So to me that's a lot of empty calories. Chapman was just bad after April. Threw out that month and I expect his OPS+ might have been 80...
