Out of Context Stats

by Bradwell on April 7 at 1:12AM


Statistics are fun.  They're indicative of value, constantly changing, highly debatable and Joe Morgan hates them.  What's not to like?

With 24 of the 30 Major League teams playing their first games, we've got all sorts of goofy one-game stats too ogle at.  But like Claire Waddington's underdeveloped freshman chest, these stats are in no way indicative the changes her body will undergo by graduation when she'll be packing air bags of glory under the jumper and giving squeezers outside of CYO dances.  With that in mind, here's a list of my favorites from today (and if you ever meet Claire Waddington, wash your hands after shaking hers).

Slugging % Over 1.300
Matt Kemp 1.333
Franklin Gutierrez - 1.333
Ken Griffey Jr  - 1.333
Chris Iannetta - 1.333
Johnny Damon - 1.333
Adam Lind - 1.400
Emilio Bonifacio - 1.400
Chad Tracy - 1.500
Jorge Cantu - 1.500
Adam Dunn - 1.500
Jordan Schafer - 1.667
Tony Clark - 2.000
Felipe Lopez - 2.000
Hanley Ramirez - 2.000

A few times throughout the season I'll check in with these players as the stats normalize.  Let's say once next week, once in a month and a few more times after that until I forget about or get bored with this wholly meaningless exorcise.

I might update this list tomorrow to reflect players from the other six teams, or I might get faced at the Sox's home opener and wake up on a bus in Bronzeville making out with an equally trashed Sox fan that I wish had Claire Waddington's supple bosom.  

Either way, I win.

I have no idea who Claire Waddington is.
That said, if Dunn OPSes over 1.000 this year I'll cry into her bosom all winter.
