Name Chipper's final batting average.

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 05:08 PM

I'm going with .371. I just don't think it's sustainable. 1) He's never won a batting title (but did finish second last year, so it seems he's made some adjusments). 2) He's traditionall a better hitter lefthanded. This year, his power is coming lefthanded, but his higher batting average righthanded. I don't think he'll continue to hit .432 as a rightie. 3) The Georgia sumer can make people wilt. He's 36. He's certainly putting to rest any doubt that he's a Hall of Famer.

.335 he's 81 for 200 right now, if he gets another 400 ABs, and hits for his career average of .310 in those ABs (124 for 400) he'd be 205 for 600 (.342) so i'm discounting him a little from that number.

.404. He goes 2-for-4 in his next game then dies. No...um, .335. Speaking of batting averages, I was reading the agate page in the Snooze this morning -- the only place left where I'd bother to look up batting averages -- and delighted in the fact that the NL Guys are KILLING the AL top 10, which I always root for but seldomly get. We got Chipper at 400 vs. their leader ... wait for it ... HIDECKI MATSUI at 320-something. Plus, the bottom few in the AL are in the 299s while we run down at 315ish.

I'll bid one dollar, Bob. Oh, wait. .341

="Willets Point":22zw6da7].310[/quote:22zw6da7] that would require him to hit about .260 over 400 ABs, i'm on board with that happening.

The guy is an injury factory. I say he goes down for a month, rushes back and gimps through the end to hit .326. AG/DC Jun 02 2008 08:13 PM A little time on the DL could help him maintain his lofty average, depending on what he hurts.

I just picked his career average figuring he'd revert to form. reverting to form doesnt mean you should expect a guy to end up with his career average at the end of the year, it means you should expect him to hit for that average, but with the weight of his good/bad start putting him above or below it at year's end.

Well, I didn't want to make a wild guess, so I picked that. Willets Point Jun 02 2008 08:18 PM Oh, now I see what you're getting at. I meant revert to form for the entire season not for the rest of the season. Rockin' Doc Jun 02 2008 08:55 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 02 2008 08:58 PM I'm going to say .353 If Larry, gets another 250 at bats for the rest of the season and reverts back to his career average (.310) the rest of the way, then his average for the season would be roughly .353 Seems as logical as any other guess I could make. Fman99 Jun 02 2008 08:57 PM .336 MFS62 Jun 03 2008 06:53 AM I hope he hits .3991. But I'm predicting .343 Later willpie Jun 03 2008 08:00 AM .383 Looks like for his career, he's actually a better hitter post-ASB. Better than this, though? I think not.

Is this how the phrase <i>Luck of the Irish</i> came to be? Grimm should demand a recount, he was the closest without actually going over. Bob Barker would have given the win to Grimm.
