TLAK Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Must have heard a thousand times this week how the Sox 3-4-5 are the best in baseball. Being of an enquiring mind I checked it out and for once, the hype is true. This chart looks at the top 3 HR and RBI men by team (I don't have batting order in it).

Milkman delivers Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I find it incredibly hard to believe that the Royals are last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Sox will probably 3rd or 4th when it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for when they play the Sox, I am pulling for Toronto all the way. It would be great if neither NY or BOS made the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Wow, even with the major improvements in offense this year it still shocks me to see us doing so good since we were so horrid last year. Bad ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I think you should add OBP and SLG. Those are the two most important statistics. If you don't, I might get around to it. I know all of them have SLG over like .550 and OBP of .391+, which is absolutely insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, but did you just average the top 3? Or actually calculate them with each of their ABs and PAs. Thats what i was going to do later this weekend.

Also, Boston has been w/o Coco Crisp and will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringfieldFan Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I had a feeling our 3-4-5 stacked up well. It doesn't even end there: I bet our 3-4-5-6 and our 3-4-5-6-7 rankings ain't too shabby either. SFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFF Pods has been steadily raising his BA, and Gooch is right around(if not above) .300, 1-7 the Sox are absolutely dangerous. Can you imagine what this team will look like if BA and Uribe can start hitting their weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen a team this stacked that I've really ever watched. If/when Uribe and BA atleast get up passed the Mendoza line, this team will be even more dangerous.

loltrain Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 If there's anything I've learned from this forum it's that players playing above their career averages will fall back to them 100% of the time (at least if they're a tiger). In other words, I'd enjoy you're 3-4-5 hitting now before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 In case no one else has noticed Dye has been slumping as much as Crede, if not more. He is hitting .224 in May and .105 in his last 7 days.
