I found these stats very interesting. Since Drew Stubbs was moved out of the leadoff spot, to the #7 position in the lineup, his numbers have exploded:
25 G, 91 AB: .330 AVG, 4 HR, 21 RBI, 19 R, .386 OBP, .571 SLG, .958 OPS, 24% K-rate
His leadoff numbers:
22 G, 83 AB: .145 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 13 R, .242 OBP, .265 SLG, .507 OPS, 35% K-rate
Has anyone ever seen such a large disparity in numbers seemingly caused only by changing position in the lineup (i.e. a 450 point OPS spike)? I suppose since the sample size is pretty small, that he could have just been mired in a massive slow-start-slump, and came out of it around the same time he was dropped in the lineup ... but that would be pretty coincidental.
