Oakland 2006 hitting sparklines
As a handy way to visualize what kind of season each player had in 2006, I generated these sparklines using Joe Gregorio’s sparkline generator. There’s more to a hitter than batting average, I know, but I find it interesting to see the trends when a player was slumping, and when they were on fire.
I’ll have a full rundown of the Oakland players’ stat graphics (as seen here) later on today or early tomorrow.
(A red dash means a game in which the player got a hit, and a gray dash is a hitless game. The higher the red dash, the more hits that player got.)
