Kyle

You know, seeing Theriot on this list shows you another difference between the past 2 years & this one. Why did this guy think he could “power-up”? (Sure, he’s only hit 7 but it seems he’s trying to hit more.) Really, we need him to have a high OBP & make contact, not worry about hitting HR’s. His BB’s are down & his K’s are up this year. Not trying to turn this into an anti-Theriot discussion… my point is that he is a representative of the whole.

What about someone like Bill Mueller?

Nope for all three

Dunston.
1994 was a strike shortened year, and only 350 PA s (113 games times 3.1)were needed to qualify for the batting title.
