bighurt4life Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Interesting statistical breakdown of the double play and a look at the players who hit into them the least and the most often. You will find a couple interesting Sox names on the list. One of them is confirmation of what many of us already knew and one of them goes against the popular opinion. I won't spoil the fun though, you'll have to read the article. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/...-batter-can-do/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm sure most knew that Konerkos ass would be on that list, but in the history "killer"? Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. Interesting read, thanks for posting it. I have comments but I won't "ruin" the WSox surprises until more have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 to be fair, Julio Franco had 40 years to compile these numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHizzle85 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm surprised one name's on the DP's avoided list, but more surprised at the name on the all-time list...I mean, I know he does it alot. But not enough to be on an all-time list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Initially I thought this was for the best and worse at turning double plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
