RBI Percentage is 100*(RBI-HR)/Runners On – and thanks to BaseballMusings.com we can look at this stat for the Yankees batters so far this season:
Player Run On RBI HR RBI Pct Alex Rodriguez 217 54 11 19.82 Fr. Cervelli 147 29 0 19.73 Nick Swisher 199 47 13 17.09 Robinson Cano 227 53 15 16.74 Derek Jeter 203 39 8 15.27 Mark Teixeira 240 48 13 14.58 Jorge Posada 132 28 9 14.39 Marcus Thames 66 10 2 12.12 Brett Gardner 192 23 3 10.42 Cur. Granderson 151 22 7 9.93
Great jobs here by A-Rod, ‘Cisco, Swish and Cano.
Most would like to see better results from Tex…I know that I would.
And, Granderson? He’s got to do better than that…it’s just too many runners left on base.
Granderson has been something of a disappointment. I thought he’d be better at the dish.
He becomes more of a concern every day. It’s the ghost of Ruppert Jones, who scouted this guy.

Wasn’t much of a concern last Wednesday in the 10th inning. Or in the 9th inning on Sunday night.
Let me put this another way.
Right now:
Curtis Granderson : 2010 as Nick Swisher : 2009
@ Evan3457:
Nick Swisher had a good season in 2009, is it your opinion that Granderson is having a good season? Swisher had a solid first half last year, I don’t see anything like that happening with Granderson.
