| How Do The Yankees Compare to MLB Leaders? |
| Thursday, April 27, 2006 |
We're almost a month into the 2006 season, and I thought it'd be interesting to see how the Yanks are doing compared to the league leaders:
| Batting Leaders | | Category | MLB Leader | Yankees Leader | | Hits | M. Tejada (Bal), 37 | D. Jeter, 28 | | Doubles | M. Young (Tex), 10 | J. Damon, 8 | | Triples | S. Finley (SF), 3 | D. Jeter, 2 | | Home Runs | A. Pujols (STL), 12 | J. Giambi, 7 | | RBIs | A. Pujols (STL), 29 | J. Giambi, 20 | | Walks | B. Bonds (SF), 24 | J. Giambi, 22 | | Stolen Bases | J. Reyes (NYM), 10 | J. Damon, 5 | | OBP | J. Giambi (NYY), .553 | J. Giambi, .553 | | Slugging % | A. Pujols (STL), .929 | J. Giambi, .840 | | Batting Average | M. Tejada (Bal), .425 | D. Jeter, .384 | | Pitching Leaders | | Category | MLB Leader | Yankees Leader | | Wins | Several Tied with 4 incl. B. Arroyo (Cin) and G. Maddux (CHC) | M. Mussina and R. Johnson, 3 | | ERA | G. Maddux (CHC), .99 | M. Mussina, 2.45 | | Saves | J. Papelbon (Bos), 9 | M. Rivera, 2 | | Innings Pitched | B. Webb (Ari), 36.2 | M. Mussina, 33.0 | | Earned Runs Allowed | C. Silva (Min), 25 | C. Wang, 25 | | Home Runs Allowed | L. Hernandez (WSH), 9 | R. Johnson, 4 | | Walks Allowed | D. Cabrera (Bal), 22 | C. Wang, 10 | | Strikeouts | O. Hernandez (Ari), 35 | M. Mussina, 30 |
The Yanks' average may not reflect their talent, but it is reassuring to see that the Bombers are actually performing quite well. I've said it before and I'll say it again: with this lineup, there is no reason that the Yanks shouldn't cruise to the playoffs. Let's chalk our current win-loss-win-loss pattern up to early season adjustments and set our sights on October!Labels: jeter jeter pumpkin eater |
