The Great Clutch Project

The Great Clutch Project

Time to put up or shut up:
http://www.tangotiger.net/clutch/

"So, you think you know who is the clutch hitter on your team? You think you know who you want at bat with the game on the line? Well, let's find out.

Go through your favorite team's roster, and select the one GREAT clutch hitter, the one guy you want at bat, when the game is on the line. One selection will do. If you like, you can go through each player, and note how good or bad a clutch hitter he is.

I will go through the same list of players, and simply select the best hitter on the team, period. We'll come into conflict in a few places, like with the Cardinals (Pujols), and Angels (Vlad). In that case, we'll go to our number 2 guys. "

Then you haven't seen Damon Hollins'

"I'm tired of all these stupid a$$ questions every day. Why the f**k would I hit Brett for Miller?" The rest is history.

I'll raise your clutch with a sur-challenge
Who is the grittiest player on the Tigers?  Brandon Inge? Please.  Ladies and gentlemen, Ross Gload has exploded out of the building

Tango
My answer is Ross Gload.  He's the clutch, the brakes and the gas all in one gritty, grinderlicious combo.
I probably disagree with you.

Outstanding post
That I do not disagree with.

I'd say its David DeJesus
He seems extra-clutchy to me, and I bet our clutchiest player is someone surprising like that. But I have no idea.

Can you really have anyone that clutchy if you lose 96 games?

The numbers don't lie
His OPS in clutch hitting situations is through the roof.  Best in baseball.  Project done.
I probably disagree with you.

game winning HR in Fenway in 06?

Or Mendy Lopez game tying Opening Day HR
Or Alberto Castillo's walk off game winning HR on Opening Day?
