August 11, 200322 yr If he continues to bat 2nd in the order the RBI's will decrease. But, being only that it's August 11th he should be able to top 100. If he remained at 5th or 6th he could have topped 110.

If he remained at 5th or 6th he could have topped 110. Your wrong. He is getting more RBI's batting 2nd because Robbie Alomar gets on base so much and C-Lee gets more chances to see better pitches. When Robbies on base, C-Lee gets pitches to drive for HR's and get 2 RBI's a swing.
August 11, 200322 yr Hitting triples in the corner with Robbie on 1st and 2 out off Rich Harden should count as 2 RBIs cuz its so damn clutch.

When Robbies on base, C-Lee gets pitches to drive for HR's and get 2 RBI's a swing. nah I think he'd still get more RBI's in the 5 or 6 hole. Robbie could still be on base then, so could whoever batted second, Frank, and/or Maggs.

When Robbies on base, C-Lee gets pitches to drive for HR's and get 2 RBI's a swing. Not completely. Right now he is averaging more RBI's per AB when in the two hole but he is hitting much better from that slot right now. If he was hitting 5th or 6th like he is from 2nd he would have more RBI's. You're right though that he is getting better pitches batting 2nd. Batting 2nd: RBI per AB = .226 OPS = .956 Batting 5th: RBI per AB = .165 OPS = .776 Batting 6th: RBI per AB = .171 OPS = .808 Hasn't Lee been batting 2nd since the arrival of Everett?
August 11, 200322 yr nah I think he'd still get more RBI's in the 5 or 6 hole. Robbie could still be on base then, so could whoever batted second, Frank, and/or Maggs. Agreed. The #2 spot in the order is not a run producing spot. It can sometimes be helpful for a player to hit there(see Jose Valentin in 2000) because he is behind a very fast player who is leading off and when on base is a threat to steal at anytime, and they are hitting in front of the #3 hitter, who is one of the best hitters on the team. They see a lot more fastballs, which helps their numbers. But they won't get a ton of RBI opportunities, like they would in the 5 or 6 spot. The 5 and 6 spot in the order is for a very good, mature, veteran hitter. Carlos is not a very good, mature, veteran hitter. In the 5 or 6 spot, he'd hit .250 or .260. He's shown us that already.
