Who do you got? Darin Erstad or Garret Anderson

And again, unless im reading it wrong, OBP favors guys who walk more, because they have less ABs to divide by. (Hits + walks divided by ABs).

It's divided by PAs. It's (H + BB + HBP) / PA ... I actually think they should change it to include times reaching base on an error ... Im gona guess that might improve GA's line a bit as well.

Grrr. I stand corrected. I always thought it was ABs, not PAs.

Fun facts, times reached on error over their angel career: (on base via error percentage)

Erstad: 61 (.0105)

Trout: 57 (.0103)

Salmon: 72 (.0102)

Anderson: 85 (.0100)

Pujols: 48 (.0097)

Glaus: 27 (.0078)

Amazing how close they are. I thought Trout would be number one by far and that Anderson would score better... interesting how much Glaus sucked at this.

Watching pujols run today, you can only assume those errors were by outfielders losing the ball in the sun on the warning track

He has always made a lot of contact.

True

I just picture a SS bobbling one of his hits, and rushing to make the play like this, with the way he runs
