Stat

Interesting stat from Stark's column today...
Especially interesting is Morneau's numbers:


Stat of the week
Here's our latest brainstorm for illustrating how RBIs are overrated -- a new stat concoction we're calling Runs NOT Batted In (RNBI).
To compute it, you start with number of runners on base when a hitter bats, subtract the number of those runners knocked in and compute how many of those runners each hitter didn't drive in.
The leaderboard, through Aug. 26 (data from baseballprospectus.com):
HITTER RUNNERS DRIVEN IN RNBI
Garrett Atkins 434 64 370
Justin Morneau 439 82 357
Troy Glaus 415 63 352
David Wright 423 75 348
Jeff Francoeur 393 49 344

Youth pitcher banned?

Apparently Connecticut needs higher standards - 40MPH too fast for a 9 year old? Hell our 9 year olds in Elk river, and I guarantee the boys from CRNLL can hit 45-50. How is this a story?
