4.  Marcus Thames* – 141
5.  Alex Rodriguez – 140

7.  Brett Gardner – 115
8.  Derek Jeter – 113
9.  Francisco Cervelli* – 105
10.  Mark Teixeira – 98
11.  Juan Miranda* – 97
12.  Nick Johnson* – 94


Even though I almost always have more pressing things I should be

attending to, I can’t help myself from looking through

baseball-reference.com’s Yankees page.  For today, I thought it would

 be interesting to see who the Yankees’ best hitters have been.  Not

 defense, not baserunning – just swinging the bat.


One of the more useful stats for looking at just hitting, in my opinion,

 is OPS+.  This ignores things: not only baserunning and defense, but

also positional value.  So again, we’re just looking at hitting.


I ignored anyone with less than 50 plate appearances and anyone with

under 150 I denote with an asterisk, as they are either a part-time player

 or have been injured.  All numbers are accurate as of Friday (so they

don’t include Friday night’s poor performance).  Remember, an OPS+ of

100 means league average.


1.  Robinson Cano – 183

Not that surprising.  Cano still isn’t walking all that much, but he

 is hitting for more power than he ever has before and is still hitting

for average, as he leads the league in batting average as of Friday.

When you consider that he plays a good second base, that’s an MVP

caliber season Cano is putting up so far.


2.  Jorge Posada* – 170

Posada has missed a good deal of time, but when he has been in the lineup,

 he has hit and hit for power.  If he can sustain something close to

this, his bat could play at DH, though obviously Posada is much more

valuable if he gets some reps behind the plate.


3.  Nick Swisher – 159

The Swish has been the Yankees 2nd best hitter who hasn’t missed

significant time and I’m not sure if the casual observer realizes quite

 how good he’s been this year.

4.  Marcus Thames* – 141

This number is not only skewed because of a small sample size, as Thames

is only a part-time player, but also because Thames is generally only

used against lefties.  So in theory, he should always have good hitting

numbers as he almost always has favorable matchups.  That said, Thames

has been exactly what the Yankees were looking for: a power bat that

hits lefties.  Sure, he’s had some bad moments in the field, but

that’s not why the Yankees acquired him.


5.  Alex Rodriguez – 140

By A-Rod’s standards, this is a slow start.  Really everything is there

 except for the power, though he’s gone deep in some big spots (just ask

Jonathan Papelbon).


6.  Curtis Granderson* – 119

Granderson’s injury was disappointing, but when healthy, Granderson has

 been a very productive hitter.  When you take into account his other

skills, he’s been pretty much what the Yankees hoped for.

7.  Brett Gardner – 115

Given Gardner’s speed and defense, an OPS+ around 100 would still

mean he’s having a very good year.  Obviously Gardner is exceeding

expectations and it will be interesting to see if he has truly figured out

big league pitching or if this is just a small sample size.  His plate

discipline is encouraging, as it should keep him from hitting a prolonged

slump.

8.  Derek Jeter – 113

The Captain was off to a poor start, but a hot couple of weeks has gotten

 his numbers back to close to what you’d expect from one of the best

 hitting shortstops of all time.


9.  Francisco Cervelli* – 105

I actually thought this would be higher, due to Cervelli’s crazy batting

average.  Cervelli has little in the way of power however.  Still, his

 knack for making pitchers work and finding ways to get on base (read:

bloop singles) make him extremely valuable as a part-time catcher.


10.  Mark Teixeira – 98

The most stunning number here.  Not only has Tex been a below average

hitter, he’s doing it while playing first base, a position that demands

 offensive production.  He is currently being out-slugged by Brett

 Gardner.  In some ways, it’s amazing the Yankees have done as well

as they have considering Tex’s prolonged slump.  You have to think

this number will start to go up relatively soon.


11.  Juan Miranda* – 97

I actually expected this number to be a bit higher.  I’ve been impressed

with Miranda overall.  He’s had a couple extra base hits robbed from him

 thanks to great defensive plays, that, had they been hits, would make

this number much better given Miranda’s limited ABs.  Moving forward,

Miranda should be a serviceable 1B/DH against righties until either Nick

Johnson comes back or the Yankees find another hitter via trade.


12.  Nick Johnson* – 94

Everyone knows I love Nick Johnson.  Did you know he’s still third on the

 team in walks behind A-Rod and Tex?  He’s only one behind A-Rod.  His

OPS+ of 94 is actually pretty high considering he hit only .167.  I just

hope all the rumors of him being out for the season are false and that he

can make an impact in the second half.


13.  Randy Winn* – 65

DFA.
