There are several standards to measure players with. A normal standard for normal players, a gold standard for aces and/or darlings, and a Tetsu standard for the enormous offensive output he brings to the table.
Imagine him batting .330 again. He possibly would have driven in 170, and the Raccoons may have won the division. Or maybe not. I don't want to blame him. Lots of things didn't pan out for the 1990 team, and while a prolonged offensive slump by key sluggers in the middle of the season (Osanai, Hall, Dawson, plus an injury to Vinson, and there you have all double-digit dingers) was an important factor in the shortfall of this team, injuries may have played a part at least as big at the end of the day.
Key now is to find the two players (an SP and a left-handed batter) that can bring a major advance for us in 1991.
