Pitcher hitting

[Dryden]

Now that we can do this in the ROMs, I wanted to get people's thoughts...  Here's the situation.  Let's look at Don Drysdale's numbers for 1958.

.227/7/0 (BA/HR/SB)

But he hit those 7 homers in only 66 at-bats.  If he had 450 at-bats in a season, he would have hit 48 homers at that rate.

So where do we rank him for power?  Do we give him the power of a 7 homer guy, the power of a 48 homer guy, or somewhere in between?

What do people feel the "pitcher discount" for hitting ought to be?

Looking at his career numbers, he had about two full seasons as a batter & hit 29 HRs, but with a poor SLG & OBP. However he did have two seasons of .500+ SLG, but there were in a limited amount of ABs. My conclusion, give him the SLG of someone that hits 10-20 HRs, but a poor CNT.

Excellent idea to go with the career averages, that's what I'm going to do.
