...but not for lack of effort.
Top Batting Averages
Hoder .731
Scarlato .727
Albert .692
* Brad really surged toward the end of the year...if he had made only 1 more game, he would have won it all. Same with Scar, he jumped up from .692 last week.
Top RBI Leaders
Hoder 41
Scarlato 34
Booth 29
* Honorable mention to Mason who lead off most of the time and still had 25. Again, if Scar had two more games, he would have easily won the RBI title...good thing I came to every game.
Top On base Percentage
Wood .792
Albert .778
Booth .734
* Schank had .750, but only came to two games...doesn't quite measure up with the rest of the guys.
Top HR Hitters
Fleishman 2
Booth 2
Scarlato 2
* Imagine if Ian had showed up for more than 2 games...
Top Scoring
Booth 35
Herndon 31
Hoder 29
The rest, you can check for yourself below. See you next season.

hoder had SEVEN triples??? these stats just lost all credibility.
Great season everyone -
Thanks to Hoder for keeping the stats. Now, can anyone explain to me how Hoder's and Scar's BA is higher than their OBP? Something very fishy is going on here. I want a recount. The batting title is mine.
Here ya go...from ESPN:
Ah, two column-worthy subjects in one letter; my favorite kind.
I get the OBP question every couple of years. Yes, it's possible to have a higher batting average than on-base percentage, because sacrifice flies count as plate appearances when computing OBP, but they don't count as at-bats when computing batting average.
On a practical level, that means that if you have more sacrifice flies than walks+HBP, your OBP will be lower than your batting average. And that's exactly what we see with Soriano, who's got one SF and zero BB.
As for Soriano's future, far be it from this humble columnist to question the prospects of a Yankee who's already been widely anointed as the American League's non-Japanese 2001 Rookie of the Year. Still, I look at Soriano's career totals -- 116 at-bats and one walk (and 30 strikeouts) -- and I can't help but think that maybe, just maybe, the pitchers will realize that they don't have to throw the ball anywhere near the plate.
As for Julio Zuleta, I have two points that some might see as somewhat contradictory:
1. He's a better hitter than Alfonso Soriano.
2. He's not really good enough to play regularly.
Like Soriano, Zuleta is OBP-challenged. However, Zuleta does have good power, at least against left-handers. It was a sign of the Cubs' aimlessness when they signed Ron Coomer, even though they already had Zuleta in their organization. Zuleta should be platooning with Matt Stairs until Hee Seop Choi is ready (which could be any day now).
I got robbed hear. My OBP is higher then Scarlato's and no mention about being in the top 3. What is up with that. Fix Fix.
Great season guy. Had a blast. One more shoot out to Hoder and yes me for not missing a single came. Now that is commitment.
By the way. They sent me a new bat to replace the one Hoder broke twice. I am going to write NO HODER on this one. You got you $10 out of the last two.
Can't wait to start spring ball. Man I hate winter.
