Balta1701 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) AJ has a whole 18 RBI this year and his career high is 77. No reason for him to ever bat higher than 7th in the line-up He's been hitting behind Rios and Dunn. Who is he supposed to knock in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(may not include today) I think this means that every time he's been on base people like AJ have been effective at knocking him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has driven more than 64 runs twice in his career and never more than 77. He is not an RBI guy so there is no reason to bat him above 7th. Adam Dunn has more RBI than him this year. AJ also has scored the least amount of runs on the team. There is no situation where he should bat hitter than 7th, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gooch Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) He has driven more than 64 runs twice in his career and never more than 77.

There is no situation where he should bat hitter than 7th, ever. Well there are 2 lefties in the every day lineup besides AJ. One can only bat leadoff and one can't make contact with the ball. AJ at least puts the ball in play, which is better than the strikeout machine known as Adam Dunn. He is giving us the best chance to drive in runs from that side of the plate unless you would rather bat 5 or 6 righties in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) Counting today, the White Sox are 17-11 since May 7, their bottom. That's a .607 winning percentage. That's right where you say they need to be. Haha, yes I'm sure they're going to sustain that winning percentage for another 4 straight months.

max power Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 06:09 PM) Haha, yes I'm sure they're going to sustain that winning percentage for another 4 straight months. If they win about 6 games in a row, or like 8 out of 10, the percentage goes way down. You are making too much out of that number considering how much of the season is left.
