Players A to Z, Jody Gerut

Jody Gerut plays outfield for the Milwaukee Brewers. After a good return to the majors in 2008, in which he posted a .351 OBP, Gerut fell to .279 in 2009. At age 32, he can’t afford to play another season like that. Teams won’t continue to pay $2 million for that kind of performance.

The interesting thing about 2009 was that Jody upped his line drive percentage. That usually leads to a higher BA, not a lower one. If he maintains that rate, there’s a good chance his luck changes and he winds up with a better 2010.
