Milwaukee Brewers infielder Eric Sogard is off to one of the worst starts of his career. In 28 games, Sogard has more RBIs (1) than homers and stolen bases…combined. His OPS sits at .344. That’s OPS, meaning on-base plus slugging percentage. He’s already worth -0.6 WAR. Sogard needs some time in Triple-A to get back on track.
Saladino is a lot better than Sogard, right?
Well, ‘a lot’ is a relative term. Tyler Saladino accrued 0.1 WAR in six games with the Chicago White Sox this year. He’s already 0.7 WAR more valuable than Sogard.
