Table Setters
Looking at the Phillies boxscore, I'm impressed by two things:
- Jim Thome's torrid start (he has a triple today).
- The lack of OBA from the 1-2-3 hitters.
Thome is slugging over .900 in four games, but has only 1 RBI. He's knocing the cover off the ball, but
there's no one to drive in. Abreu will get on; his career OBA is very good. But Polanco is at best okay, and Rollins is poor. So if you start to see "Why isn't Thome driving in runs" articles, you'll know the reason.
