A few years ago, a player was called up by the Dodgers, and in his first call-up, he hit .143 with a .250 OB%. It was just eight plate appearances, so there was not much to go on. In his second season, he had 239 plate appearances and hit .215 with a .272 OB%. Well, like many of you would be quick to do, the Dodgers traded him, and that player, Paul Konerko, went on to hit 439 Career Home Runs with a .279 BA and a .841 OPS. Whoops! Even though they got Jeff Shaw back, I am sure the Dodgers would take a Mulligan on that one.
