Everyone knows that Josh Vitters was terrible at baseball in his limited time at the big league level in 2012. Just how bad was he?
In RE24 (min. 75 PA), Josh Vitters was the 17th worst offensive player in all of baseball last year, just above…Mark Buerhle. If he had 200 PA instead of just 109, he would have ran away with worst RE24 in the majors (everyone except Buerhle ahead of him had over 100 more plate appearance than Vitters.)

It’s amazing how bad Vitters was last year. I tried to put it in words here: http://obstructedview.net/commentary-and-analysis/a-closer-look-at-josh-vitters.html

I mean, come on, we keep harping on the guy, but that’s a pretty small sample size. Not saying he’s good, mind you.

After reading the headline, I was hoping for a super funny punchline. #letdown.

Small sample for sure, but it does tell us something about him when we’ve seen similarly awful performances to start a career. It never goes well. It might for Vitters but it’s unlikely.
