Has a team ever had nine .300 hitters before? My Angels have a shot.

OF Bobby Abreu .322

OF Juan Rivera .316

3B Chone Figgins .313

SS Erick Aybar .309

OF Torii Hunter .305

2B M. Izturis .302

1B K. Morales .299

DH V. Guerrero (has had like 10 straight .300 seasons but needs to finish strong)

What is Vlad hitting??

He's hitting like .270 this year, I think, but I could plug in Mike Napoli at C, too. He's hitting .300 now. I could put Izturis at DH and Kendrick at 2B. Kendrick is hitting lights out since getting demoted and Vlad doesn't have that many at bats this year.

They should obviously send Napoli to to the minors to work on some things.

He might be the best hitter on the team. He hits for power (two HRs in one game vs. Boston in the playoffs last year), but gets platooned because Scioscia likes the way another catcher, Jeff Mathis, handles the pitchers, and Guerrero can't play OF any more so he gets all of the DH at bats when he's "healthy."

But...we'll probably lose to Boston in the playoffs again. We're doing everything we can to get Texas in ahead of Boston, though.

Current averages...

Abreu .313

Rivera .307

Aybar .307

Hunter .305

Guerrero .303

Morales .301

Izturis .301

Figgins .300

Napoli .294

Nine starters, only one under .300

While that is impressive, and the angels are a very good hitting team. I must point out that Hunter, Guerrero, Izturis, and Napoli don't have enough AB's to qualify for a batting title. Guerrero is close, the others not so much (they all have less than 300 ABs). So I'll give you the nine players almost hitting .300 for an instance. But definitely not for a season.

I think only three or four of those guys will have enough ABs to compete for a batting title. And let's face it, none of them are a threat. But they'll go into the playoffs possibly with nine .300 hitters in the lineup. I don't think the Yankees or Red Sox, with their gargantuan payrolls, have ever even come close to that.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
