For Yanks, Last Up Is The Main Man

I was just looking at the Yankees team batting splits for 2008 (to date) over at the SNY.tv stats page. And, I noticed this, in terms of how the Yankees batting order is doing, so far, this season:

		AVG	AB	OBP	SLG
Batting	#1	.244	82	.347	.451
Batting	#2	.237	93	.273	.312
Batting	#3	.289	90	.347	.500
Batting	#4	.310	87	.381	.529
Batting	#5	.296	81	.389	.469
Batting	#6	.227	88	.261	.330
Batting	#7	.213	75	.330	.373
Batting	#8	.273	77	.325	.403
Batting	#9	.338	71	.405	.563

Look at that BA/OBP/SLG mark for the Yankees #9 batter – it’s the best on the team, across the board. For the most part, the Yankees #9 batters this season have been Melky Cabrera (25 PA), Alberto Gonzalez (20 PA), Chad Moeller (19 PA) and Jose Molina (10 PA). Hey, way to go guys!
