Premature Statistical Analysis

I've combed over some stats this afternoon and found a few that I thought were interesting:

The Brewers Got Zauned - Gregg Zaun has grounded into a double-play, on-average, once every nine pitches this season.

Keep The Meter Running, I Won't Be Here Long - Orlando Cabrera is seeing 1.77 pitches per at-bat, which falls in line with the 1.86 seasons he spends with each ball club over his career.

I'll Take The One That Comes With The Pinstriped Pillbox Hat - Assume that both Vernon Wells and Garrett Jones stay on their pace to hit 162 home runs this season. The Blue Jays would be paying $77,160.49 for each dinger while the Pirates buy theirs for the bargain basement price of $2,623.46.

Workin' Harden? - Rich Harden's K/9 is 19.64. The next closest starting pitcher? Ian Kennedy, more than five full strikeouts behind Rich.

Or Hardenly Workin'? - Rich Harden's BB/9 is 12.27.

And Your Punishment? $68,000,000.00 - Josh Beckett's WHIP of 2.36 is the worst (tied) of any starter whose team plays in one of the United States. Players that pitch in the District of Columbia are a different story.

On The Schnide - Nick Johnson has an OBP of .400 and a batting average of .000 after 15 plate appearances. Josh Hamilton has struck out in six of his eight plate appearances so far, notching a grand total of zero base hits. Hamilton's average draft position in ESPN Fantasy Leagues is 79.1 versus 233.8 for Johnson. I'm not sure what I'm trying to prove with this info, just found it curious.

Bold Prediction - Adrian Gonzalez of the offensively-explosive Padres, will finish the season with 42 home runs and 42 runs batted in.
