so what's good?

So my previous blog was about baseball statistics.  To many people they are just numbers.  But what's a really good number?

First off, I want to note that not all players can have good all around numbers.  For instance, a guy that steals a lot of bases (a fast guy), isn't going to have the muscles to hit 50 home runs.

With that, here's a quick primer on what's a good statistic to have at the end of the season.

Average - 0.300 is a good average

At Bats - no real good answer here.  To qualify for a batting title, you need to have almost 500 at bats.

Runs - 100 runs scored is a good year

Hits - 200

Doubles - 30

Triples - 10

Home Runs - 30

Runs Batted In - 100

Bases on Balls - 80 (one every other game)

Stolen Bases - 30


The other statistics are easy to figure out.  Obviously you don't want to get caught stealing or make any errors.  The amount of sacrifices really depends on what situations you are presented with in the year.
