Sandy - Raleigh's picture

Olson has a 13.8% HR/fly rate - the TEAM has a 6.3% HR/Fly rate.  The HR/fly rate for the AL is 7.6%.  How high does it have to get to qualify as non-inflated?  Don't know where you're getting the 11% from - but my numbers are current 2009 from bbref.
Moreover, Olson has allowed 5 doubles and 9 HR. 
Olson also has ONLY a 15% LD rate -- 4% under that for the team. 
Olson's TTO computations lead to really bad profile mostly due to a HR rate that is completely bonkers.  If you reverse the 2b/HR numbers, (9 doubles and 5 HRs), he'd end up looking a ton better by every TTO computation method around. 
Olson isn't Milton, (at least no yet).  I'm just saying, as a 25-year old with a total of 200 innings in the majors, I'm just stating that it is not only possible, but LIKELY that he has a lot more to learn about pitching.
