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%
