Freddy Sanchez - NL Batting Champ
 

What a great year this guy had. In April you could have probably gotten 1,000,000/1 on this guy for the batting title - he wasnt even a starter for the lowly Pirates! If Joe Randa doesnt break his foot or whatever he did to hurt himself, Sanchez doesnt get the chance to play on a day to day basis. I know most people dont care at all about this, but being a Buccos fan I think he deserves a little credit :) Congrats to all whose teams have made the playoffs - one of these years the Bucs will come through!!!

1. Freddy Sanchez .... .344
2. Miguel Cabrera .... .339
3. Albert Pujols .... .331

yay! and the Pirates even avoided the cellar, poor Cubies
ok who's numbers are these?
(avg).313 (hr)58 (rbi)148 (runs)104
hint: The MVPs!

Dustin ... other than getting a nice new ballpark a few years back, Freddy winning the batting title is about the only thing us Bucco fans have had to cheer about the last 14 years ... I think that says a lot about Pirate management that they did not even project this guy as a starter this year and went out and signed an over-the-hill Randa. Heck, I liked Randa when we had him about 8 years ago, that's when they should have re-signed him.

Same thing with the Dodgers,..on the injury front . If Gagne wasn't hurt..No Saito. If Navarro isn't hurt...No Russell Martin. There was another injury I had in mind,but it escapes me now. Props to Colletti for stealing Marlon Anderson!!

But that #2 draft pick could pay dividends in 2 to 3 years.

and you are talking about Ryan Howard.

Don't forget to give Joe Mauer his dap for the same reason... AL Batting Champ
