Gregory Pratt Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I think AJ is the safest bet of all of them to hit .300 by the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I think BA will be close to .300 by the end of the year. Sorry I love BA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 05:16 PM) I believe thats what I said, yes. But why? He has by far the best career batting average of those listed. I realize his month by month splits aren't terrific, but he's still well above the .300 mark. To think he won't stay above it is dumb at this point, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize his month by month splits aren't terrific, but he's still well above the .300 mark. To think he won't stay above it is dumb at this point, IMO. His averages by the month: April: .342 May: .322 June: .302 July: .271 His homerun totals per month: April: 0 May: 2 June: 2 July: 3 I think that he's starting to go into the uppercut swing more, which is the reason he hit .257 last year. While I would like to see him stick with the contact swing, I don't think he will, and by the end of the year, I expect him to hit around .290 or so. Also, .313 isn't "well above the .300 mark".

klaus kinski Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Crede & Konerko are good second half guys-AJ is steady, Dye having career year-only Thome a lock NOT to end up .300 The strange thing is NONE of these guys get any infield hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJP has the best career BA of those listed. I would say on that alone he has the best chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that he is the only one who has actually hit .300+ in a season not named Konerko. (even though Pauly hasn't done it in like 3 years) IMO, Crede can do it since this will be a career year for him this season, and we are really seeing him start to blossom. AJ is going to his gap hitting roots like he did with Minnesota. And it's not like he's doing it as an advantage. AJ is hitting .300+ at home and away, something Pauly never does/did (Kong always hit better on the road) This will be an interesting discussion no doubt.

GoSox05 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 not to mention are bench players are hitting a combined .295 also Pods is at like .276 so what does all this mean. Are line-up is bad ass and we don't need Tori hunter or Ken Griffey or Carl Crawford, Willie Mays or Willie Mays Hays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I think he, AJ and Dye will all be above .300 at year end. Konerko will be in the .290s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkBomber Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I think AJ and Crede have the best chances. They seem to be getting better wood on the ball without relying on homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
