Message: [QUOTE="donniesyracuse, post: 4411216, member: 101"] I think the Astros are better than the Yankees. I just don't think there is a magical formula to succeed in the postseason. The contact > power arguments aren't supported by data. High contact and three-true-outcome teams have had about the same levels of success in recent years. For example, the Phillies have a K% nearly identical to the Yankees. All you can do is fill your roster with good players, win a lot of regular season games, and hope your players don't slump in the postseason. It helps to be the best team, but it does not guarantee success. [/QUOTE]
