Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Sunday, July 06, 2008
Another look at the “Why is this productive player hitting leadoff?” debate, only with Grady Sizemore instead of Soriano, Granderson, or McLouth. Here’s what I see: Grady Sizemore this year has hit 16 of his 21 homers with nobody on base. He has had only 53 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Heck DAVID DELUCCI in 150 fewer plate appearances has 60 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Casey Blake — hitting sixth, seventh, eighth and even ninth — has had 70 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Ryan Garko, who has been really struggling, has had 75 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Even Ben Francisco has had more at-bats with runners in scoring position.
Just good to see a Cleveland story that doesn’t involve C.C. Sabathia.
Love you, Joe! And, I agree: Florida has the worst drivers.
