Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 13680, member: 285"] In Mark's defense, his average goes up to .254 with runners in scoring position, but only .236 with runners in scoring position and two outs. He does hit a robust .285 with only first base occupied. I know he contributes in the field, but his production is just too Dave Kingman for me - especially for a guy that spends much of his time in the three hole. Wish he would get the average up to at least .275, below .250 just seems embarassing for a 20+ million guy. I'd give him a pass if it didn't seem like a trend given that he finished last year at only .256. What happened to the guy who is a .282 lifetime hitter, even with the last two batting average clunkers thrown in? That's with ARod hitting behind him offering protection. I'm just whining, hey its not my $23 million. [/QUOTE]
