Name the MLB 2000-2009 leader in each of the following categories. Needless to say there will be no cheating tolerated: Games: Plate Appearances: At-Bats: Runs: Hits: Doubles: Triples: Home Runs: RBI: Walks: Intentional Walks: Strikeouts: Stolen Bases: Caught Stealing: Hit by Pitch: Sacrifice Bunts: Sacrifice Flies: Batting Average (min. 3000 PA): On-base Percentage: Slugging Percentage: OPS: OPS+: GIDP: Outs: Total Bases: Extra-base Hits: Times on Base: Decisions: Wins: Losses: Saves: Win-Loss % (min. 100 decisions): Games: Starts: Complete Games: Shutouts: Games Finished: Relief Appearances: Innings: ERA (min. 1000 IP): ERA+: Earned Runs: Runs: Hits: Walks: Strikeouts: Home Runs: Wild Pitches: Balks: Intentional Walks: Hit Batsmen: Walks per 9 IP (fewest): Homers per 9 IP: Strikeouts per 9 IP: Hits per 9 IP: WHIP: K/BB Ratio: Singles allowed: Doules allowed: Triples allowed: Pickoffs: GIDP induced: Quality Starts: Inherited Runners: Inherited Runners Scored: Stranding Pct.

TransMonk Jan 13 2010 09:55 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

That's alot of stats! I'm guessing most of the answers consist of Wright, Reyes, Piazza, Leiter, Glavine, Trachsel, Feliciano and Benitez. I had Delgado for GIDP and HBP, Castillo for Sac Bunt (couldn't think of anyone else) and Pelfrey for balks. It's a shame that I couldn't choose Pedro or Beltran for any of these...but I just couldn't. Games: Wright Plate Appearances: Reyes At-Bats: Reyes Runs: Reyes Hits: Wright Doubles: Wright Triples: Reyes Home Runs: Piazza RBI: Wright Walks: Wright Intentional Walks: Wright Strikeouts: Wright Stolen Bases: Reyes Caught Stealing: Reyes Hit by Pitch: Delgado Sacrifice Bunts: Castillo Sacrifice Flies: Wright Batting Average (min. 3000 PA): Wright On-base Percentage: Wright Slugging Percentage: Piazza OPS: Wright OPS+: Wright GIDP: Delgado Outs: Wright Total Bases: Wright Extra-base Hits: Wright Times on Base: Wright Decisions: Trachsel Wins: Leiter Losses: Trachsel Saves: Benitez Win-Loss % (min. 100 decisions): Leiter Games: Feliciano Starts: Glavine Complete Games: Leiter Shutouts: Leiter Games Finished: Benitez Relief Appearances: Feliciano Innings: Glavine ERA (min. 1000 IP): Leiter ERA+: Leiter Earned Runs: Trachsel Runs: Trachsel Hits: Glavine Walks: Glavine Strikeouts: Leiter Home Runs: Trachsel Wild Pitches: Leiter Balks: Pelfrey Intentional Walks: Glavine Hit Batsmen: Trachsel Walks per 9 IP (fewest): Glavine Homers per 9 IP: Trachsel Strikeouts per 9 IP: Leiter Hits per 9 IP: Trachsel WHIP: Leiter K/BB Ratio: Leiter Singles allowed: Glavine Doules allowed: Trachsel Triples allowed: Trachsel Pickoffs: Glavine GIDP induced: Leiter Quality Starts: Leiter Inherited Runners: Feliciano Inherited Runners Scored: Feliciano Stranding Pct.

Benjamin Grimm Jan 13 2010 09:55 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

I think Johnny is looking for MLB leaders, not Mets leaders.

TransMonk Jan 13 2010 09:57 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

Mother of pearl! Nevermind...I'd avi, but put too much work in without reading the directions.

batmagadanleadoff Jan 13 2010 09:59 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

I suppose that the lazy thing to do would be to take Pujols for all the hitting stats, Santana for pitching and Mariano for relief pitching.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 13 2010 09:59 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

Ooops yeah, meant O.B.B.* leaders. They included a list of them in the Daily Snooze the other day *-Organized base ball, as it was called by the Sporting News for so many years.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 13 2010 10:03 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

Here's a clue: No Mets or x-Mets are represented in the offensive categories but several appear in the pitching categories...

Gwreck Jan 13 2010 10:59 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

I'll start by guessing David Weathers for relief appearances. (I'll also add that I think this would be a lot more fun if people were limited to one guess at a time instead of filling out the whole big form at once).

Centerfield Jan 13 2010 11:02 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

Hits: Ichiro Sac Bunts: Willie Randolph Everything else: Pujols

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 13 2010 11:03 AM Re: Noughties Kwiz

See how easy that was? Relief Appearances: David Weathers, 711? Gwreck on the board.

[quote="sharpie":2gaudq82]Alex Rodriguez: homers Andy Pettitte: wins[/quote:2gaudq82] Not in a million years would I have guessed Pettite. I'm calling out sharpie and alleging that he is using a baseball almanac. Years later sharpie will admit to using an almanac but deny that it helped him with the answers in any way. "Those answers came from God."

I was going to put Bonds down for OPS and such but I didn't want to hog it........I mean he was so obvious for all of that.
