What havoc hath this Braul Jordesi creature wrought upon our beloved game of baseball? Will any stat-respecting, adoring fan of the game remain standing in the wake this creature’s onslaught of 0-fers?
Legend has it that Brian Jordan and Raul Mondesi have fused into one terrifying two-headed, two-batted beast most frequently seen manning the corner spots of the Braves’ outfield. Now that they are generally considered as one, let’s add their stats together and see how they stack up against their one-headed counterparts.
Braul Jordesi:
BA – .215
HR – 6
RBI – 33
SB – 2
OBP – .275
SLG – .331
OPS – .606
Now, Braul Jordesi compared to more normal, mono-cranial NL players:
– .215 combined BA ranks 84th out of 88 (tied with Royce Clayton)
– 6 combined HRs rank 38th (tie)
– 33 combined RBIs rank 3rd (tie). Way to go Jordesi!
– 2 stolen bases rank 33rd (tie)
– .275 combined OBP ranks 82 out of 88 (just ahead of Jason Lane and below Chad Tracy)
– .331 combined SLG% ranks 81st out of 88 (tied with David Bell)
– .606 combined OPS ranks 83rd out of 88 (interestingly, this falls between the erstwhile Raul Mondesi and Brian Jordan)
So whoever said that two heads are better than one clearly does not play in the Braves’ outfield.

You think he’s bad, you should see our other corner outfielder, Rian Mordani…
There are 88 NL players with enough plate appearances to qualify as full-timers. As you noted, Mondesi and Jordan are #82 and #83. If you take the seven players surrounding them (two above, five below), they’re six shortstops and Mike Lowell. The next lowest corner OF is Jason Lane at #71…
