Remarkable Statistics

WELL, sorry for disappearing for a while. School's busy, and the Yankees were depressing me. Well I'm back and felt I need to catch back up with everything. So here are some REMARKABLE STATISTICS!

*Albert Pujols has reached base safely 29 times in 13 games. He is the only qualified batter in the MLB with an OBP OVER .500(2 others are AT .500; Chone Figgins and Pat Burrell.) Another notable fact about pujols: He's walked 13 times, and struck out just 4 times.

*Carlos Pena is 9-47 on the season... Sounds terrible, RIGHT? Well not so much -- 6 of those hits were HR's. With 13 RBI's, he's just 2 behind league leaders Joe Crede(WTF?) and Mark Reynolds(WHO?!?)

*The New York Yankees have no player in the MLB top 40 leaders in AVG, OBP or OPS. Alex Rodriguez has the 40th highest SLG in the league. Of the many reasons to disregard certain aspects of April, this bullet point shows you why you shouldn't pay too much attention to numbers after April.

*David Ortiz continues to hope people aren't paying attention to his numbers in April: 5-48, .104/.246/.167 1 HR and just 3 RBI's. Nothing to look at here, he'll be fine. That's my guarantee.

*The leagues highest batting average belongs to... A.J. Pierzynski. He's batting .421 ... So get this. The White Sox have the leagues RBI leader and the AVG leader on the team. OMG April makes me confused.

*The Arizona Diamondbacks have hit as many homeruns as the Yankees and Tigers combined.

*The Detroit Tigers have allowed the most runs in baseball (87 in 13 games played. 6.69 RPG) The next closest teams have allowed 17 fewer runs (Marlins and Nationals at 70)

*And not to pick on them, because they deserve to enjoy last nights comeback... BUT The Tigers have allowed an eye opening 11 unearned runs in 13 games.

More later, maybe.
