April 26, 200422 yr http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/statalbat/ Some good stuff going up here. Basically the stuff you would find on baseballgraphs or BP but it's updated and it's free. Also check out the Teams section.
April 26, 200422 yr I liked this one too... 5) White Sox placed SS Jose Valentin on 15-day DL; purchased the contract of SS Kelly Dransfeldt from AAA Ken Williams did nothing last winter. He sat and watched while his innings-eater (Colon), best reliever (Gordon) and big-name 2B (Alomar) all left for different teams. The White Sox made very few additions, and in doing so, forgot about depth. Willie Harris, he of the .204 2003 average, was penciled in at second base. Juan Uribe, the light-hitting version of Neifi Perez, was the middle infield 'insurance'. And now, Ken Williams is getting punished, and powerful shortstop Jose Valentin is on the DL. So now the White Sox have an everyday middle infield of Harris and Uribe. And while Uribe is currently tearing the cover off the ball, the Law of Averages will make that dip. So who takes over Uribe's old seat on the bench? None other than Kelly Dransfeldt himself. Why the former Michigan shortstop still plays baseball is beyond me, seeing as though he hasn't hit .250 since 1998. Well, I guess that means Ozzie is sure to love him, while Chicago fans sit back and curse their GM. Is that the same Kelly Dransfeldt who had a game tying hit with two outs in the bottom of the ninth today? Is that the same Uribe who has earned the nickname "baby berroa" around here? The same Uribe who has people around here trying to get him into the Line-up at 2B,3B,SS, anywhere?

The same Kelly Dransfeldt who's never hit over .300 in 1 season. He was strugglin down at Charlotte too, don't think he was hittin ova .200, he was only called up because of injury, he certainly didn't earn it.
