smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I don't understand how somebody with his K/AB ratio could have such a low average, unless he's either getting really unlucky or getting nothing on his swings. But if the latter were true, how come he has more home runs than Wright?
DocTee Old-Timey Member Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 DeRosa could've played first...and his 12 homers would lead the team. just sayin'
