There are a few surprises here.

• Joey Votto makes it with just 25 homers, but of course he didn't play a full season.
• Hanley Ramirez makes it with 24 HR and did play a full season. Lots of hits and doubles helped him out.
• After playing well in limited time in 2008, Ben Zobrist posted an awesome first full season. Given that he's already 28 years old, though, don't be surprised if 2009 turns out to be the best year of his career.
• It's a different story for Pablo Sandoval, who also also had a fantastic first year. He's only 22, though. (Actually 23 right now.) The similarity scores are not yet updated through 2009 but I'll be very interested to see to whom Sandoval compares--my guess is that it's going to be some famous dead people.
• Finally, below are the top OPS+ figures among qualified batters over the last 6 seasons (going back to 2004.) Barry Bonds is the last guy other than Pujols to post such high OPS+ figures.

Johnny Bench posted by far the lowest batting average in this group but also mashed 40 HR at a time when that was a mind-boggling total.

Yesterday, Alex Rodriguez had a single monster inning to bring his season totals to 30 HR and 100 RBI, very impressive feats given that he played in only about 3/4ths of the season.

Anyway, here are the fewest games in a season where a player reached 30 HR and 100 RBI:

A-rod's 2009 season cracks the top 10 and his 1999 rounds out the top 20.

I love this list. It's all modern players except for a sprinkling of star players from long ago: York in 1937, DiMaggio in 1939, Allen in 1970, Campanella in 1955, Foxx in 1939, and Thomas in 1953. That's right--both Frank Thomases appear in this list!

Notice that the strike year of 1994 is prominently represented at positions 2 through 4.

With his 1-4 tonight, Joe Mauer's batting average dropped to .366, an excellent average, but no longer the all-time best for a catcher (who qualified for the batting title).  With 4 games left to the season, Mauer has fallen behind Babe Phelps, who hit .367 for the Dodgers in 1936. Of course, the batting title qualifications were different then and Phelps only had 349 PA in his signature season. If we raise the bar a bit, Mauer only needs to stay above the .362 that was recorded by Bill Dickey in 1936 and matched by Mike Piazza in 1997. Here are the all time BA leaders among players who qualified for the batting title and played at least 50% of their games at catcher (does not include tonight's game, but I'm leaving Mauer 2009 in for comparative purposes):

This season, Robinson Cano and Derek Jeter have become the first keystone combo (teammates) in baseball history to have 200+ hits in the same season. 

Ah, but, how many keystone combos have reached base 275+ times, each, in the same season?  Here's that answer:

 Year Lg Team                              Number Players Matching
+----+--+---------------------------------+------+-----------------------------------------+
 1999 AL New York Yankees                       2 Derek Jeter / Chuck Knoblauch
 1949 NL Brooklyn Dodgers                       2 Jackie Robinson / Pee Wee Reese

Yup, that's it - just two.

Pretty nice company...just twice in history...once in each league...both times in New York...each team being a pennant winner.

Brad Lidge's nightmare season just keeps getting worse.

By the way, the search criteria for the above list is 1901-present. Just so happens the guys are all recent.

Going by ERA+ Lidge is even worse:

I can't think of a season when so many playoff teams were considering leaving prominent pitchers off the post-season rosters. Lidge may not be there, as well as Joba Chamberlain for the Yankees and Tim Wakefield for the Red Sox.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the players who were leading baseball in various offensive categories in the '00s. Here is the pitching version of that article. The leaders are much  more predictable than the last one.

What do you make of Mark Reynolds?

I'm not going to discuss his strikeouts because I don't think they're all that meaningful. Over 2008 and 2009, he's 36th in outs and 45th in plate appearances. No big deal.

What does worry me is that he's currently cracking the top 10 for worst OPS+ in a season with 43 HR. Just like how Ryan Howard worried me last year, Reynolds is putting up numbers that are less than they might seem at first. Reynolds is also near the top of the list for fewest RBI in a 43+ HR season, although he figures to fall down a bit. If he adds just 7 RBI this year he won't make the top 15. (Still, though, he's up there, and you can't compare his year to current #8 Barry Bonds, who had 232 walks.)

But, check out all the 3rd basemen since 1901 to have 40 HR and 20 SB in the same season:

Apparently the guy has some baserunning skills and with a .359 OBP he's getting on base decently enough.

Would you take this guy on your team? Despite his shortcomings, I still think he's a very talented player, and I'd take him.

The multitude of pitchers that the Padres have trotted  out this season have put them near the top of several interesting lists.

Of the four eligible guys, all are in the Hall of Fame. Biggio comes up for election in a few years and in my opinion he should be a first-ballot HOFer. He and Jeter are the only two guys to play for one franchise (although there has been rampant speculation that the Yankees will let Jeter walk when his contract expires. Personally I highly doubt this speculation.)

I wrote a post 2 years ago about Craig Biggio during his final season. He was an All-Star at two different positions and played plenty of catcher, infield, and outfield in his career.

His career total ranks as of now:

Runs scored 1,844 (13th)
Hits 3,060 (20th)
Doubles 668 (5th)
Stolen bases 414 (62nd)
Times on base 4,505 (16th)
Hit by pitch 285 (2nd)
Power-speed # 341.8 (9th)

His Hall of Fame Monitor is 169 (63rd).

Anyway, the guy was simply incredible and I think the case is very clear. As PeteAbe wrote in his post (linked at the top here) a lot of voters seem to completely ignore Biggio but when the time comes, I think he'll get the votes.
