So what has happened to his clutchness in the 260 at bats he's had this year?</B>Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-79152657734823998402007-09-14T01:52:00.000-04:002007-09-14T01:52:00.000-04:00I can't believe I didn't think of this, but Eric did:<BR/><BR/><B>A big part of Alou's higher OBP with RISP is intentional walks. Once you factor out those plate appearances, that .391 drops to .370 (against an adjusted career number of .361). However, Alou does have a much higher RBI rate with runners on base...</B><BR/><BR/>Also, Ron points out that I really meant "human" where I wrote "humanistic," so mea culpa, and thanks to Ron for holding me to the same standards to which I hold everyone else in the universe.Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.com
