Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Anybody know what Austin Jackson's BABIP is? Has to be through the roof with as much as he strikes out. Combine that with a low .400's slugging, and I think a regression is in order for him. .422. It was actually like over .500 through May.

maggsmaggs Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) I'm going to give the Gold Glove award one last shot. If Lexi doesn't get it, the award is dead to me forever. I think his high error count as compared to other guys in the AL like Jeter/Izturis will hurt him in the end. He clearly deserves it, as he has been simply amazing out there, but voting for this award is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexei's had so many more chances than those guys it's not even funny. 511 versus 362/372 coming into today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know where Alexei ranks metrically among SS's defensively? I'm thinking more specifically in relationship to Andrus, but in general as well.

Yeah, I should've been more specific. And to whitesoxfan 101, it's not even close. Alexei is pwning his position defensively. Go to fangraphs. Edit: Shack, it's actually managers and coaches.

TomPickle Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) Last time I checked it was. Jackson also has the second highest LD% in baseball at 26.5%, whether or not that's sustainable I'm not so sure, but it's not like he's not squaring up the ball and just getting extremely lucky. He also has a 9.8% infield hit percentage thanks to his speed, so his BABIP should be a little elevated, even if that .422 is bound to drop at some point.
