It is well documented that the Kansas City Royals have the fewest homers in baseball.
The two teams that have the second and third least?
The St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers.

The Cardinals and Rangers also lead baseball in grounding into double plays.
Those old Phils have grounded into the least.

The Red Sox have not won a game this year when scoring one or two runs.
Every other team in baseball has....except for the Cubs.

The Astros have won seven in a row.
I've got nothing....except the Astros have won seven in a row.

Last night, Ryan Braun hit a homer....
It was the first homer he has hit in Miller Park in over a year.....

Think your fantasy team's batting average is bad?
The Padres, as a team, are hitting .226

Not noticed is the team that strikes out the least in baseball.
The Kansas City Royals.

Guess which team has allowed the least walks in baseball this year....
The New York Yankees.

A bad stat for a team....
White Sox hitters lead baseball in strike outs....
White Sox pitchers lead baseball in walks.....

Oakland pitchers lead baseball with a 2.93 E.R.A.
But their hitters are hitting so well that the A's only have nine Saves through the first two months of the season.

Four teams in baseball are averaging less than an error every two games.
The Indians are averaging an error a game.

Victor Martinez-
2011- 12 homers
2012- 0 homers
2013-14 homers
2014- 13 homers

Without 2b eligibility next year, how far does Matt Carpenter drop in drafts next year?
A 3b with one homer are easy to find.

125 hitters have more homers than first rounder Andrew McCutchen....
Or worse, BJ Upton has as many homers as Cutch... and more stolen bases....

30 2b have as many or more homers than either Robinson Cano or Dustin Pedroia....

DJ LeMahieu has scored just two runs less than Cano....

Robinson Cano has the second highest OBP among all 2b....

Guess which catcher leads baseball in runs scored...
Go ahead, I'll wait for your guess...
Cueing the Final Jeopardy music....
The answer is Yan Gomes

Here are the top 10 home run hitting center fielders in baseball...

Trout- 11
Gomez- 11
Rasmus- 9
Blackmon- 9
Ozuna- 9
Jones- 6
Pollack- 6
Kemp- 5
Dickerson- 5
Jennings- 5

Well, it makes voting for the All-Star game easier....

Billy Hamilton has 10 extra base hits and 19 stolen bases....
He's scored just 20 runs...

Leonys Martin has just eight extra base hits and stolen 11 bases....
He has three more runs scored than Hamilton...

Josh Donaldson has 47 runs scored....
One more and he'd have as many as David Wright and Robinson Cano....Combined....
We drafters are soooo stupid....

Dee Gordon and Jose Altuve are having outstanding years....
Both have scored 30 runs....
So has Gerardo Parra....

It was said that the Upton Brothers would 'push' each other to new heights...
They are both currently second in baseball, tied with 63 strike outs....

Alex Rios has twice as many triples as home runs....
His owners hate that....

Including today, Michael Wacha has had five starts that have been rain delayed.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!
