How many DPs? Will he GDP more then Neifi? Only time will tell.

Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols might beat them both out in that category.

And both of their teams may be in the playoffs!

I'm a big ARam fan, but it seems the guy (and the team for that matter) ground into alot of crucial DP. I could be wrong, but it just seems that this team in general kills alot of possible rallies w/ the DP.

 

While Cabrera and Pujols might end up with more. Here's GDP per PA.

 

Caberera 523PA/15GDP - 34.87AB

Pujols 541PA/14GDP - 34.64 AB

Neifi 464PA/14GDP - 33.14 AB

ARAM 496/13GDP - 38.15 AB

 

 

ARAM is having a fantastic season, but on a team that's as awful as this one, you can't GDP that often. I don't want him to go anywhere.......don't get me wrong.........just making a point that this team kills it self.

 

Burnitz also has 10

Lawton has 9

Walker and Lee both have 8

 

 

That's the top 5.

If they had an equal amount of at bats, Neifi would have far more. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/sortable/index.php?cid=128

 

Click on last and you will see Neifi around the bottom.

So he grounds into a DP once every 8-10 games. It's not that big a deal.

 

 

I think we tend to think up stuff like this because we primarly watch cub games.

 

I bet if we watched more cardinal games, we'd get the feeling that pujols grounds into a ton of DPs.

The DP is going to happen, it's part of the game. I'm not saying ARam is an awful player because he GDP and therefore his #'s aren't legit.

 

But I do have a feeling that if the Cubs were 18-19 games up in the division, I probably wouldn't care either.

[UMFan83]

Even the DPs that Pujols hits into are hard hit, see his game ending DP against the Cubs in July

[hardcorecubfan]

Anybody notice (like it actually makes a difference) that Aram was safe at second on the dbl play in the ninth. I rewound my DVR 6 times and the second basemen pulle his foot off before the ball was in his glove.

 

Same play that killed the Cubs in Col.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

I think 2 run homers killed the Cubs yesterday.

[UBlink]

If you are doing a good job of putting guys on base in front of your power hitters like ARam, you will also get your share of DP's. Rather than look at GDP's per AB, you would need to look at gdp's per AB with a man on 1st. By the time you do that, the sample size is probably too small to make reasonable comparisons.

 

On average, the outcome of any AB is going to be bad 2 out of 3 times. It's just more noticeable in some situations.

[CuseCubFan69]

I wonder how many times Santo grounded into a DP? I'm thrilled with ARam at 3rd and he is the best there for the Cubs since Madlock and if he continues to put up 35-100-280 he'll be up there with Santo IMO.

thank you for the recognition. I have been sitting back watching Aramis slowly put together a masterful season. Aramis is turning into a special player and 40 HR's and 120 RBI's would be a ridiculous year. But I have to admit, missing the playoffs is going to devastate me....

I think Aramis turned a corner when he came to the Cubs in 2003. I believe this is the type of production we can expect out of him from now on. He's arrived as one of the game's superstars. Plus, with the 1-2 combination of Aramis and DLee, that's trouble for most pitchers. The only 1-2 combo I see being better or even in the same class this season is Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz.

[sweetpeteman]

lets trade him since he hits into so many double plays! I mean, he's horrible, right?

[goonys evil twin]

Edmonds/Pujols are clearly in the same class. While ARod/Sheffield are right there.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Numbers wise this year:

 

Lee = Pujols

Ramirez > Edmonds

 

Edmonds isn't having the year he had last year. They're in the same class, but I think Lee and Aram get the nod right now.

 

ARod and Sheffield are good too. But again:

 

Lee = Arod

Ramirez > Sheffield

 

Just based on this year's numbers.

Put Delgado and Miggy in a hitters park, and they'd probably be up there too.

[UK1679666180]

Those from the ESPN boards might remember "cardssuck" forecasting Lee to hit 40-50HRs and hit well over .300 b/c he left the Fish Bowl in Miami.

The DL.

 

Quad injury today. No news yet.

That's ok, now we can see Jose Macias every day! You have to look at the bright sides of things.

[Gracies Girl]

You really have to be thankful we have Macias.

How bad was this faceplant? Is it not-serious (hopefully) and funny enough to warrant an animated GIF?
