Ouch, and that is a counting stat, correct?

I’d guess that on a “per time on base” average, BB would be the worst by a fair shot.

It seems like Billy

is starting to figure out that he’s not fast, though. So at least there’s that.

Don't forget the triple penalty

for getting thrown out on the bases.

That explains Billy’s rating more than his slow footspeed.

Remember,

being really slow doesn’t make you really bad. Being really slow and getting thrown out on stupid ideas does.

If DDJ isn't on this list

it’s a fraud.

Sarcasmâ„¢. It's the new gravy.

Hard to believe the Royals aren't in the bottom 5.

Probably don’t get enough baserunners?
