Three grounders for Leake. Love to see that.

So Stubbs is definitely in the running. My vote, though, probably goes to Brendan Ryan. He has a .544 OPS in 440 PAs, though it should be noted he plays in Safeco and at shortstop, so his numbers are at a suppressed position and in a suppressed park.
Just from memory, I plugged in 450 PAs National League in Fangraphs. If I recall correctly, Stubbs was last in SLG, OBP, wOBA, and BA. He was next to last in hits, although McCann had one fewer hit and had about 40 fewer PAs.

I probably didn't pick up Brendan Ryan because I used 450 PAs. So there are issues as to which players are included in the sample. Again, this is just from memory, I didn't go back to look again. I used 450 PAs because I was looking for full time starting players for the whole season.

But at this point, if Drew does ok in the playoffs, all is well. He does play a good CF in my opinion.

Rolen with a hit that Barney couldn't handle. Gold glove indeed.

That inning, the Reds essentially had their pitcher leading off the inning and their leadoff man batting second.

Re: 9/19/12 - Reds at Cubs

Seven grounders and a strikeout for Leake one time through the order. Yes please.
