While the team doesn't have room for him, I thought his performance was worth acknowledging. 2B Andy Green spent parts of three seasons in the majors with the DBacks, in 226 ABs he hit .199. While his primary position is 2B, he is a utility player who can play all eight positions. Green was signed in July as depth and hasn't stopped hitting since he came aboard. The 31 y...

In the ten-season span from 1997 through 2006 no major-league player was 5-for-5 (or better) in a game with a walkoff hit; but that's now been done five times over the last two seasons. Chone Figgins (6-for-6), Josh Willingham...
