Nick Johnson is the most valuable .220 hitter in baseball. Even when his shots have problems finding holes in the defense he manages to be an asset to the Nationals offense by working pitchers for walks. Johnson has an outstanding on-base-percentage of .415.

The Oakland Athletics are proving the genius that is Billy Beane. Beane’s team built on the cheap is leading the AL West by playing smart percentage baseball.

Even with Howard’s line drives being swallowed […]

Well, so far, Kansas City is scoring 3.28 runs per game. That’s 72.5 percent of the league average. By that measure over a full season, the Royals would be the worst offensive team in […]
