매니가 필요해

매니가 DL에 간지 1주일째되면서, 다저스는 그없는 라인업에서 타격 부진을 격고 있다. 그는 .415/.500/.659를 기록중인데, (분명한 것은) 그를 대처할 수 있는 선수를 찾기란 쉽지 않다는 것이다.
매니없는 가운데 다저스는 7경기에서 13득점만을 올리고 있다.
When Manny Ramirez was placed on the disabled list one week ago today, we all thought the Dodger offense would struggle without him. After all, he was hitting .415/.500/.659, not exactly someone you can easily replace, let alone with Garret Anderson and Reed Johnson.  The Dodger offense has fallen off a cliff without Manny, scoring just 13 runs in seven games:

Dodger Offense With Manny on the DL
Games	Runs	BA/OBP/SLG	OPS	BABIP
7	13	.185/.261/.282	.543	.230

(겨우) 7경기에 불과하지만, 그가 없는 상황에서 다저스의 BABIP는 고작 .230에 불과하며, 그가 있을때 라인업은 .346의 BABIP를 기록했었다.
It is important to note that it has only been seven games, and the Dodgers are not going to continue to have a .230 batting average on balls in play, just as they weren't going to continue the .346 BABIP they had before Manny went on the DL. However, Manny is missed by this offense, particular his two fellow outfielders.

지난 2년동안 캠프와 이띠어는 매니앞에서 좋은 시즌을 보냈었다. 매니와 함께 그들은 다저스 역사상 최고의 외야진영을 갖추었지만, 그가 없는 현재 캠프와 이띠어는 (약간) 허접한 상태이다. 아래의 도표는 매니가 다저스로 온 이후에 매니가 라인업에 있을때와 없을때의 이띠어와 캠프의 성적비교이다.
Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier have blossomed in the last two years. Together, with Manny, they have formed what is likely the best outfield in the history of the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, Kemp and Ethier have struggled mightily without Manny in the lineup. I looked at games started by both Kemp and Ethier since Manny arrived, and compared them to when Manny was in or out of the lineup.

Dodger Outfield With or Without Manny
Player	Starts	PA	2B	HR	HR%	BB	BB%	BA/OBP/SLG	OPS	BABIP
Ethier w/ Manny	143	663	43	33	5.0%	76	11.5%	.325/.410/.592	1.002	.344
Ethier w/o Manny	67	287	14	12	4.2%	27	9.4%	.237/.317/.443	.760	.251
Kemp w Manny	153	683	38	30	4.4%	51	7.5%	.299/.351/.526	.878	.335
Kemp w/o Manny	74	311	5	9	2.9%	21	6.8%	.279/.325/.402	727	.329

특히 이띠어는 매니가 없을때의 BABIP가 큰 차이를 나타내지만, 이런 것이 매니의 유무로 설명하기에는 힘든 점은 있다.
There is a huge BABIP difference with Ethier, but even that doesn't explain away the huge chasm between performance with or without Manny.

매니는 DL에 1주일 가량 더 있어야하며 그의 복귀는 (대략) 5월 8일 록스전일 것이다. 지금의 공격력에서 매니는 정말로 필요한 존재이다.
Manny has one more week on the disabled list, and be activated next Saturday, May 8 for the game against Colorado. I am counting the days, as this offense sorely needs him.
