We did this last year too. For this year's version I've used an arbitrary cut-off of 175 plate appearances.

Clutch?

I’m not familiar with the clutch stat – how is it calculated?

The LD% stat is interesting – Cuddyer appears to have been horribly unlucky (I looked up his BABIP, and it was just .286, while you’d expect more like .320 from that LD%), which gives me some hope for a rebound next year. I’m also impressed that Punto maintained such a high rate.

I think it’s funny that the team released their leader in Isolated Power.
