It?s ESPN Insider, but Dan?Szymborski has a column up today assessing Josh Hamilton?s triple crown chances. While normally that?s pie in the sky stuff, as Dan notes, Hamilton winning the triple crown is more like pie on a moderately high shelf?territory.
He ran 100,000 simulations of the remainder of the season, taking Hamilton?s historic norms and projections for this season going forward, and ?
After all the numbers are crunched, Hamilton remains essentially a coin-flip to lead the league in each of the Triple Crown categories ??In the 100,000 seasons played, Hamilton won the Triple Crown 16.1 percent of the time, terrific odds for such a difficult feat.
Hamilton?s historically shaky health is the key, but Dan bakes that into the projections. Indeed, some time on the DL would actually help his odds of winning the batting title. What he really needs to avoid is an extended stay which would put him in a hole in the counting stats.
I wouldn?t bet on it, but people do bet on things often bet on stuff with worse odds.
