that's kind of the danger of prioritizing MOV over STU/CON in my opinion. Limiting homers is great of course, but with a worse strikeout/walk ratio you can get burnt more easily by strings of base hits. So you can have good years & bad years just due to swings in babip. Defense is only a part of the babip equation...there is also a huge amount of straight up luck.
