I wanted to share this link and not get lost in the comments to the 2010 in Review: Team Offense.
I thought the season by Valbuena (.193 batting average in 310 plate appearances) would be hard to top. I ran the originally list and found a lot of guys with 100 at bats or less with less than .195 batting average, so I ran the .195 batting average for players between 150 plate appearances and 325 plate appearances. Amazing that Lou Marson and Luis Valbuena both accomplished that in 2010, first teammates to do it since John Lowenstein and Ted Ford did it in 1971.
