Interesting stats

[Jehrico]

Everyone find a stat that surprises you and post it here.

 

Here's mine: Matt Holliday has 25 stolen bases, only been caught once so far this year. I was shocked when I saw that.

[manbearcub]

Roy Halladay is #4 in the majors in Ks with 175. I guess I never thought of him as a strikeout pitcher

[BCVM22]

Jayson Werth has 18 HRs.

[Outshined_One]

Ted Lilly is 10th in the NL in Ks with 155.

[imb]

ok, the first two really stunned me.

[RedFlash]

The Cubs are 35 games over .500 for the season. That's a stat that I am plenty happy about being surprise about...

[17 Seconds]

Dave Bush has a 1.12 WHIP.

[TruffleShuffle]

ryan theriot has the highest OBP of any cub.

 

mark derosa has a higher slugging percentage than ryan howard.

[CubInOK]

Ryan Howard has a line of .228/.320/.483.

[sneakypower]

Aubrey Huff is tops in the AL in XBH

[rocket]

Ted Lilly is 10th in the NL in Ks with 155.

 

he finished 10th in the nl last year.

[Outshined_One]

Ted Lilly is 10th in the NL in Ks with 155.

 

he finished 10th in the nl last year.

 

True, but considering most people have been concerned about his stuff and performance this year, I found it rather surprising.

[bukie]

Paul Maholm has a higher VORP than Edinson Volquez and CC Sabathia.

[bukie]

Ryan Dempster leads the NL in Expected Wins, just ahead of Brandon Webb, Johan Santana and Tim Lincecum.

[bukie]

Zero Cubs are in the top 30 in the majors in offensive VORP, but 11 are in the top 120, including the entire starting lineup, both halves of the CF platoon and Carlos Zambrano.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ryan Dempster leads all Cubs pitchers in walks

[sneakypower]

jacoby ellsbury OPS - 674

 

556 since the ASB

 

ROY award is probably going elsewhere

[SouthSideRyan]

If he qualified, Zambrano would have the 2nd best SLG in the NL and the 6th best OPS.

 

Mark DeRosa leads the Cubs in runs scored.

 

Ken Griffey was walked intentionaly 13 times while with the Reds.

 

The Molinas are the 2 hardest to strike out in the NL.

 

Jose Reyes leads the majors in outs.

 

Mike Pelfrey has 13 wins.

 

Ryan Dempster has given up the fewest hits per 9 in the NL.

 

Aaron Cook has given up the most hits in the NL.

[sneakypower]

Dustin Pedroia has higher VORP than Josh Hamilton

 

Harden has more K than Johan Santana, in 60 fewer innings

[ELCABALLO45]

Ty Wigginton has a OPS of .916

[BigbadB]

jacoby ellsbury OPS - 674

 

556 since the ASB

 

ROY award is probably going elsewhere

 

While that is surprising, I think his broken wrist earlier in the year might have a lot to do with his disappointing season.

[danonwaveland]

Jayson Werth has 18 HRs.

 

Yeah, about half of 'em against the Cubs.

He probably wouldn't have gotten it anyways with the way Longoria was playing. Longoria's injury was the only saving grace for anyone to take the ROTY award away. Chamberlain would've been my pick but then he got injured.

 

I think unless Longoria comes back and performs really well, Armando Galarraga should currently be the front runner

[otis89]

Mike Fontenot has a higher slugging % than Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Ryan Howard, Adam Dunn, Grady Sizemore, Miguel Cabrera, Jim Thome, Prince Fielder, Jason Giambi, David Wright, Vladimir Guerrero, Jason Bay, Carlos Beltran, and Troy Glaus.

[NonProfitCow]

Pujols will end the year with an OPS over 1.100 and will probably not win the MVP unless he hits .370.
