Im not disagreeing with you.
Im saying earlier when i agreed with the op who said he was a slow starter, I was going off the three year average
I STILL cant find his total career splits on ESPN.com
But the ones you posted seem to indicate that the op who said he was a slow starter is a lying degenearate loser...and i shouldnt have agreed on limited data
Interesting to note: The cubs have had a run of great defensive 1B since 88. One of the 3 years they had marginal defense (Karros, Choi, Simon ) they came closer to the WS than any of the GGer years.
Screw ESPN stats, you're wasting your time there, get on Baseballreference.com because it lets you sort and do multiple queries such as the one I posted the other day (Carlos Pena is 18th on a list of 40HR players with the fewest career HR's).
You'll do a lot better there, seriously.
The Cubs came close to the WS those years the same way the Sox won theirs, on the backs of overwhealming starting pitching. I think the Cubs had four starters over 200 innings and all of them won at least 13 games.
Mark Prior thre 211 innings
Matt Clement had 201 innings.
Kerry Wood threw 211 innings
Carlos Zambrano had 214 innings.
And Shawn Estes had like 154 and 8 wins...
That was a terrible defensive team if I recall? Not sure how to collate the team defensive stats.
