By fangraphs' count, Joe Mauer has 28 bunts and 18 bunt hits, for a .643 AVG on bunts. This for a guy with 30 career SB.
I hope the big fella heals up soon.

 ubelmann  March 17, 2009, at 8:34 pm  2 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)  Bunting, Joe Mauer ubelmann July 9, 2008, at 6:00 am 11 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Bunting, Carlos Gomez 42 bunts, 21 bunt hits -- Carlos Gomez, 2008* So Gomez has been successful (and by successful, I mean successful in reaching base, not successful in the productive out sense) half of the time he's bunted this year. What happens if we divide his plate appearances into bunts and non-bunts? .235/.276/.352 -- Gomez, 2008, not bunting In general, bunting gets a bad rap because, in general, a player is going to give up an out when he bunts. But Carlos Gomez is a freak. When he bunts, it's to increase his OBP, and thus far, bunting has gotten him on base more than frequently than swinging away has. *Statistics through July 7th, 2008 |
 The melting continues. I'm seeing grass around the trees in the front (north side) of the yard. Roof is ice free. Grass showing up in the back yard. These updates brought to you by someone who is profoundly sick of winter. |
