Nolan Arendao to the Cardinals.
Gonna be interesting to see how Arenado does in St. Louis. It's
really worth highlighting that he had a career .322 BA at Coors Field and a career .263/.322/.471 line on the road. His HR rate dropped from 5.91% of PA to 4.39% of PA. That's roughly going from 19 HR to 14 if he hits closer to his career road numbers at Busch Stadium.
Crawford was a pretty infamous bust with the Red Sox and he still hit .276 at Fenway Park compared to .236 on the road in 2011. Tulowitzki went from a .300+ hitter in Colorado to a guy who was struggling to hit .240-.250 with Toronto as his home ballpark.
I'm sure St. Louis fans are going to compare him to Walker and Arenado has more power but Walker was a
much better hitter on the road. He also had a .334 BA in his Colorado tenure from 1995-2006 with a much higher OBP.
Buster Posey's one of those players, if he had hit almost anywhere other than San Francisco, he'd likely have at least 30-50 more home runs in his career and he'll probably go down as one of the better hitting catchers of the 2010s anyway.
