T-2. DAVID WRIGHT 1,300

David pulled early in Toronto to enjoy sharing second place with his "baseball brother". Scheduled to enjoy it some more tomorrow with a day off, which also works as a mercy rule where his head cold is concerned.

Congrats David on being half of No. 2. And on the roundish number.

I think I heard Josh say at this rate all he has to do is hit .300 the rest of the way.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Though no longer on pace to bat .400, or even lead the NL in batting, David Wright is still on pace to break Eddie K's franchise hit record this season.

Target date: Monday, September 10, 2012, at home against the Nats, (Jim Hickman appearing on the season ticket holder stock ticket).

David now has the most runs, but on this team, nowhere near the most errors.

We're into double-digits.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's probably been close to 40 years since somebody was this close to Kranepool.

What a sad commentary on the Kranepool marriage.

Eddie passed Cleon on 5/4/76. Genesis of the hit record here.

Silly comparison. Full time 3Bs and/or SSs are almost always going to lead your team in errors in a given year.
It would be pretty odd circumstances for your 1st baseman to have more than your 3rd sacker and usually the sign of a real bad 1st-baseman although Ventura & Olerud wound up tied at 9 each in '99.

[Edgy MD]

Outfielders (which KP was for 250 games) tend to make even fewer errata.

Pinch-hitters, still fewer.

[G-Fafif]

Also, Ed outtripling David, 25 to 19.

[Ceetar]

Ed also has 600 games on David. Only 2000 defensive innings on him though.

Ed has 900 DP turned to Wright's 178. And wow, he turned 100 or more in '65, '66 and '67. I guess there were a lot of guys on?

[Frayed Knot]

Krane has 31% more triples than Wright in 25% more ABs
A bit surprising at first considering better speed and Citi being a better triples park than Shea -- but then you have to figure that more HRs means fewer balls in play which means fewer opportunity for triples.

The DP disparity is, of course, easily understood.

[Ceetar]

positionally, are 3-4(6)-3 DPs significantly more common than 5-4-3?

[metsmarathon]

i think the "-3" part of it is really the driver...
