PLAYERS: Miguel Cabrera
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers

John Lowe Inflicts His Ignorance on Unsuspecting Tigers Fans

Via The Big Lead  |  October 08, 2009
Dear John Lowe: RBI are a product of runners on base. The Tigers’ No. 3 and No.5 hitters (and Miguel Cabrera) had relatively low RBI totals because Curtis Granderson (.327 OBP) and Placido Polanco (.331 OBP) were never on base. “Ninth-inning closer,” as opposed to that squirrelly third-inning one, is not “the most [...]
