THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY of the SOX OFFENSE
The Good
• The Sox rank first in runs scored with 304, although they rank second in OBP and fourth in SLG. The club is averaging 5.4 runs per game.
• Manny is not a man; he is a hitting machine.
• V-Tek's Isolated OBP (OBP-AVG) is a career high of 112. A 400 OBP from V-Tek who may be hitting ninth in July would be speculator.
• After Damon's public - everything this guy does now seems to be on the front pages of the Globe - preseason statement that he will be more aggressive at the plate, he is earning a walk once every 13 plate appearances. He has not had as high of BB/PA rate since 1999 when he hit 307/379/477.
• Youkilis, Mirabelli and McCarty all have OBP > 360 and SLG > 450. These three hot streaks have alleviated the loss of Nomar, Nixon and Mueller.
The Bad
• The three headed out machine comprised of Reese, Crespo and Kapler have accumulated 363 or about 15 % of the Sox plate appearances.
• Kevin Millar has four homers in 195 at-bats and is SLGing 395.
and The Ugly
• The Sox rank first in both walks and strikeouts. Walks are productive but both outcomes are not entertaining for the fans of the offense.
• Mark Bellhorn is a big reason for the Sox lead in BB and K's with 45 and 63, respectfully. Bellhorn is a boring, but an effective player. Your my boy, Bell!
• Chicken Cesar Crespo's 173/173/227 with 19 K's in only 75 at-bats is so ugly Tito can't even get Wally to hang with him.
• The injuries to Nomar, Trot, Ferris Bueller Mueller and Burks have been painful.
