Bad teammate or bad luck?

Heine has 2877 PAs for my team and has been a very big disappointment.


The PAs are OK, question is, how you define very big disappointment. Heinie costs about 12.000 (?). For that Money you could get Syndergard or Scherzer. Both of these pitchers are something like replacement - value (maybe 1 WAR) only in Perfect (meaning you would get about a season of 52 - 110 if you Team consist of such Quality only). So I guesstimate Heinie is the poor mans Betts in Perfect, not less but shurly not more.

So far at Perfect level, Heine (86/83/36) has been outhit by guys like Garry Maddox (77/23/25), Ray Fosse (70/68/38), and Cleon Jones (85/55/53). The only person he has out hit so far (at Perfect) is Ozzie Smith, and not by much (83 OPS+ to 80).
