ALL-STAR WEEKEND Season 25 TWIB NOTES
Miami, FL (McC) - With the season at the halfway point
McCabe Magazine would like to take our annual midseason look at the teams and
players that are shaping season 25 into another exciting dash
for the cash.
·
Anaheim Angels ace Vince Garcia (LAA) leads the major leagues with 17 wins,
10 complete games, 4 shutouts, 177 innings, 129 strikeouts, 164 OVA, 225 OBP,
240 SLG, 0.81 WHIP, and 1.47 ERA. Can you say CY Young and first ballot Hall of
Famer? However, that comment about the Hall of Fame might be in question
considering the voting history of the existing HOF voters.
·
Adam Bradford (LAA) another Angel pitcher is second in the
majors in the following categories 14 wins, 1.90 ERA, 125 strikeouts, 170 OVA, 255
SLG, and 4th in WHIP with a 0.98.
·
The Colorado Rockies has 3 sluggers 1,2, and 3 in
Home Runs Luis Mesa (COL) (41), Clarence Carver (COL) (33), and Hersh Mays (COL) (29). However, they do play in Denver fair or unfair comment? You can decided.
·
Seattle Mariners Low-A club leads all of
baseball at the break with 76 wins which includes a 21 game win streak.
·
The New York Mets (37-54) who won the National
League East 7 straight years (seasons 17-23) and 2 time pennant winner, and
season 21 World Series Champion, are in danger of finishing last in the
division for the second consecutive year.
·
Tony Lowry (CH2) of the Chicago White Sox is the best
hitter verse right-hand pitching with a 452 BA and a 595 OBP. Minnesota Twins
1B Albert Cervelli (MIN) is the best against left-hand pitching
(406 BA, 484 OBP).
