surprises

I was going to call this "Stuff" but that's been trademarked by Doughboys. Besides, it's hard to beat the king.

As I was setting some lineups today, a few things jumped out at me:

Rickie Weeks has more RBIs than Chase Utley, despite hitting leadoff in the NL.

Jorge Cantu has more RBIs than Morneau, Pujols, Votto, Fielder and Texeira.

Alex Gonzalez has more HRs, RBIs and doubles than any other shortstop.

Josh Willingham has more HRs and RBIs than Braun.

Ubaldo Jimenez has a lower ERA than WHIP. Both are less than 1.

Yadier Molina has more Stolen Bases than Torii Hunter, Jayson Werth, Alex Rodriguez, Chase Utley and Dustin Pedroia. Who said that Molinas can't run?

Good stuff!

Molina leading his team in stolen bases is priceless.

Willie McGee and Vince Coleman should give LaRussa the business at old timers games.

Speaking of Coleman, I am a fan of dark humor so when I got an e-mail from a friend this morning of a picture of a Coleman ice cooler with the caption, 'Gary Coleman's casket' underneath, I laughed myself silly.

Very nice thread. How about Tyler Clippard having as many wins as all but four pitchers in baseball?

So, if just after the draft, you had posted that because you had Bautista, Hart, Kelly Johnson, Wigginton, Konerko, and Wells, you would be OK and maybe even lead the whole shooting match in HR, what do you think you the general consensus of the boards would have been?

Something along the lines of "Put down the crack pipe".

The biggest surprise of this year is the complete collapse of Carlos Lee's statistics.

Aaron Hill another top pick hitting under 200.

Kung Fu Panda with zero power numbers.

Jayson Bay 36 homers last year,this year 3.

Joe Mauer where is the power 2 homers.

Chone Figgins hitting about 200.

And of course the BUST of the year, GRADY.

How about Matt Stairs with 2 SBs in just 47 ABs. A career high SB/AB ratio at age 42.

How about Dustin Pedroia scuffling at .161 vs. left handers.

When was the last time speedy Aubrey Huff had two SB's in one game?

eddiejag · Post by **eddiejag** » Sun Jun 06, 2010 12:13 pm

How about the catcher Jaso for Tampa Bay batting leadoff today and he homers,knocks in 5 run's and steals a base. AWESOME DUDE.
