So Pierre is a stud. He played every game. He lead the league in hits and stolen bases. He has the best strikeout ratio, yet is second in triples. Incredible.
Ramirez had more power than I thought. Zambrano, of course, finished high in many stat, but I was suprised to see him #1 in walks allowed. It’s also shocking that Dempster finished the most games. And Howry was fourth in most games for a pitcher? Whadda year.
