QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 17, 2007 -> 04:55 AM) Take a look at the number of at-bats. If you use him too much he is exposed. Yeah, that was my point. Do you think he was better last year because of the way he was used or was it a small sample size fluke? Mackowiak faced most of the tough righties last year, so the numbers weren't based on playing more favorable matchups than he had in the past. That makes me suspect the .837 OPS vs. RHP was a fluke and it's unlikely he'll come close to those numbers, even in a limited role.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 05:12 PM) Mack is insanely underrated. He had a .384 OBP and .837 OPS against RHP. How likely do you think it is that Mack repeats those numbers? Mack vs. RHP 2006: 201 AB, .308/.384/.453/.837 2005: 394 AB, .272/.336/.396/.732 2004: 430 AB, .258/.337/.447/.784

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) Does anyone know what our run per game average is with Thomas in the lineup, compared to out of it? It's so painfully obvious that our biggest need is a offensive weapon. When Frank starts: 149 runs/28 games=5.32 runs/game Without Frank: 336 runs/72 games=4.67 runs/game Overall: 485/100=4.85 r/g The 5.32 runs/game would be 4th in the league. Frank returned at about the same time that Dye and Konerko started to hit, so I'm not sure how much of the difference can be attributed to him.
