[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1511688, member: 619279"] The 4th position in the Cardinal lineup batted .257 and had 115 RBIs. Ozuna was the primary 4th place hitter (548 PAs batting 4th out of 702 total) and hit .244 and had 89 RBIs out of that spot. Ignoring the fact that batting average doesn't really matter and RBIs are more a factor of who is on base ahead of you more than anything (so the 4th place hitter is always going to have a lot of RBIs, seeing as the best 3 hitters on the team bat in front of them), they won 90 games last year without the kind of 4th place hitter you wanted. They won 90 games primarily because their pitching was awesome (with all those guys back) and their defense was awesome (which will be even better with hopefully less Fowler and full time Bader in CF). Since none of this matters, Tyler O'Neil hit .280 with 8 RBIs in only 52 PAs batting 4th last year. Give him the whole 702 PAs batting 4th and there's your guy hitting [B].280 and 108 RBIs.[/B] So they already have someone capable of meeting your arbitrary stat line on the team. [/QUOTE]
