Josh Donaldson Power 55? What?

[KillerSloth]

The latest live roster has JD's power at 55, around the same as Dioner Navarro..dude hits 30 dingers in Oakland. That makes zero sense.

is that for both pitchers left and right or just one, if its just one it would make sense

Saw that was well. It's for RHP. I haven't checked his previous seasons HR splits, but it seeing him rated a 55 versus righties surprised me also.

If you look at his career splits, 55 is completely fair.

At this rate, he would hit about ~ 15 HRs per 600 PA if he were to only face RHPs...

I completely rerate most of the guys in the game based on my own formulas and it put Donaldson at 57 power vs RHP so it seems pretty merited. Also has it at 97 power vs LHP. Pretty serious split!

When reviewing the stats this year it seems like a lot of guys mashed vs lefties last year.
