NorthSideSox72 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I put these stats out here last fall prior to the WS, to see how Sox pitchers have fared in hitting. Here it is, for your interleague pleasure (AVG, OBP, OPS)... Buerhle: .095/.136/.231 [21 AB] Contreras: .000/.067/.067 [14 AB] Vazquez: .214/.244/.498 [426 AB] Garcia: .194/.194/.416 [36 AB] Garland: .167/.167/.398 [12 AB] Cotts: 1.000/1.000/3.000 [1 AB, it was a double] McCarthy: .000/.000/.000 [2 AB, both K's] Nelson: .000/.000/.000 [2 AB] Jenks, Riske, Thornton, Montero have never hit. 3 of our 5 SP's have higher averages (career) than Anderson does this year.

Kalapse Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Garland also had that RBI single last year in SD so we know they aren't completely useless with runners in scoring position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I want to see Jenks hit. But then again I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Wow, Vasquez has posted a .650 career OPS...that's better than Timo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get .650? Its .498, unless I wrote it down wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Ah, misread. Darn. I was pumped about watching him hit too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game is out of hand and he is just getting in innings? Sure, I'd go for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Watching Contreas hit is really funny. He really has no idea whats going. Bmac looks like one of those cardboard stand ups I think Buerhle really likes to bat, but he is not very good. Garland and Cotts actually look natural up there and if they got more plate apperances they would probably be ok. CLiff Politte though is the man. Example last year. He is also a world class base runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I hear we're activatiing Cliff just to hit. Who was it that Buehrle took deep the other day? Raines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future, I'll use the Kalapse method for displaying offensive numbers, if that is what most people expect. Since I'm not one to post stats very often, it won't come up much anyway.

Because he's using splits and HRs and RBIs aren't going to be all that useful when talking about American League pitchers (with the exception of Vazquez).

Yeah, I wondered if any of them had ever even hit any. Looks like just Vazquez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Too bad we're not seeing Bronson Arroyo. Brian Anderson could take some batting advice from him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
