Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Trival offense, inoffensive trivia


Our hopes for a more effective offense this coming season depend in part on the spoils of the CC Sabathia trade showing significant improvement.  Thus far, Matt LaPorta and Michael Brantley have combined to put up a line of .245/.309/.364 over 966 at-bats, for an OPS of .674.  They've amassed 237 hits, with 41 2b, 22 HR, 88 BB and 176 strikeouts.

 

What famous Tribesman of the past matched this .674 OPS in 1183 AB with 54 2B, 37 HR, and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 241-93?

Or if you’re a better pitcher.

yep, it’s Bob Lemon.

Holy crap it is. This is both awesome and sad.

Well, a promising start—111 OPS+ through 1950—but then he really tanked, with a 60 OPS+ afterward. Hard to believe the Tribe carried him all the way to 1958.

The apocryphal un-vetted story was that he was a 3b who made life hell for 1b’s as everything he threw over there had so much movement – prompting the move.

Congratulations, that’s right.

Hmm…I’ll guess Mark Whitten.

Guessing… Wayne Kirby?

by jhon on Feb 12, 2011 11:29 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

I’m pretty sure it’s still Bob Lemon.

by PBH on Feb 13, 2011 2:04 PM EST up reply actions  

Doh! Didn’t see that.

Yeah, Wayne Kirby couldn’t have had those power numbers. Just a horrible, horrible guess.
