With that in mind, I measured Marlins for 2015 who kept showing up and performing: Total bases, walks, net stealing (steals minus caught stealing times 2). I'll call this index Total Total Bases.
Player | TB | BB | Net Stealing | Total Total Bases | |
Gordon, D | 257 | 25 | 18 | 300 | |
Yelich, C | 198 | 47 | 6 | 251 | |
Prado, M | 197 | 37 | 1 | 235 | |
Bour, J | 196 | 34 | 0 | 230 | |
Realmuto, J | 179 | 31 | 0 | 210 | |
Ozuna, M | 176 | 31 | -4 | 203 | |
Stanton, G | 169 | 34 | 0 | 203 | |
Hechavarria, | 176 | 23 | 3 | 202 | |
Suzuki, I | 111 | 34 | 1 | 146 | |
Dietrich, D | 114 | 23 | -4 | 133 |
Interesting that Bour and Realmuto ranked well even though they weren't starters when the year began. I wish Prado had more power, but he consistently produced. Yellich was coming on strong at the end. I always thought Hechavarria's high batting average should have moved him up in the batting order, but he doesn't walk and he doesn't steal. Dietrich wasn't on the team till near the end of the season, but he almost as well as Suzuki. And Ozuna shouldn't steal.
Note: Stanton has been in the lineup about 75 percent of the time in his first full years. Pujols played in 95 percent-plus during his first years.
