Depending on the Big 3

Today I was thinking about how much the Sox depend on Thome, Konerko and Dye to drive in runs, so I decided to take a look at how they stack up against other teams' three top RBI guys.  Looking at the numbers, I wonder if there any long-term implications of having such a dependence on these three.  The Sox are not in very good company at the top of that list.  In fact, there is a group of very solid teams whose "Big 3" are around the 40% range:

Team (Top 3)    Total RBI    Team Total      %
Tampa Bay          109          213      51.2%
LA Angels          109          223      48.9%
Chicago Sox        134          278      48.2%
Oakland            110          232      47.4%
Seattle            107          232      46.1%
Toronto            125          280      44.6%
Baltimore          109          263      41.4%
Boston             111          269      41.3%
Minnesota           95          231      41.1%
NY Yankees         123          304      40.5%
Detroit             99          255      38.8%
Texas              102          263      38.8%
Cleveland          110          290      37.9%
Kansas City         68          192      35.4%

Thanks, Cheat
Also, I checked '05 numbers and the Sox top three RBI producers (Konerko, Everett, Dye) accounted for 38.3% of the team total.

In the works
for some reason, I have no access to that block of the homepage. I've asked the powers that be for it to be placed there.

ahhh Beautiful Camel Back Ranch in sunny Glendale AZ...a couple friends and I are going to meth up in Scottsdale to play some golf and raid the fridge in some 16000 sqft house and I was curious as to which SSSers have ever been out there. Unfortunately our trip falls short of the first game as we leave the evening of the 4th but does anyone know if we can tour the facilities and watch some practice drills or anything of the sort. 

Any tips, tricks, or ideas are welcomed. Will my SSS press Badge work?
