February 12, 200422 yr I hope Konerko learned to bunt this winter. Even if he learned how to, it still wouldn't help because of how amazingly slow he is.
February 12, 200422 yr This is from February 5, so it's pretty old and may have been talked about before, but Jayson Stark did the leaders for the 2000's. If you go down about three quarters of the way, it has the "Lonely at the Bottom" Most GIDPs -- Paul Konerko 84, Magglio Ordonez 83 (NL leader -- Jeff Bagwell, 80) That's a nice stat to know. The two most GIDPingest players in the 90s are both on our team. How much of that is on the Big Hurt's shoulders? What about Manual's? Do you guys think it'll change? All those GIDP's definitely hurt the Sox a ton. not Frank's fault at all on Mags GIDP, nor Manuel. How could it be Manuel's fault? Mags swings his own bat. I have merged this with the prior thread so we don't have to repeat everything
February 13, 200422 yr I want to see where Carlos Lee fits into that list. My guess is he is pretty high as well. Carlos has 57 GIDP's ranking him 42nd in the bigs, with just the raw numbers. But this is like a pitchers loses, or blown saves, you've got to be pretty darn good to get enough opportunities to lead these categories. This chart shows GIDP's per AB and per RBI for the 2000's. 1,000 or more AB. The guys are still up there but there are some other interesting names. CLee ranks #99 per AB and #158 per RBI.
February 13, 200422 yr Interesting chart. It does reinforce one thing, though. Maggs and PK hit into too damn many DP's.
February 13, 200422 yr I knew Clayton couldn't carry Jose's unwashed jock. Him grounding into twice as many DPs as Jose is another proof. Take that CW!
February 13, 200422 yr Author I knew Clayton couldn't carry Jose's unwashed jock. And why would he want to :puke
