ALBERT PUJOLS - four times!!

[bob]

Pujols owns this category! Even on a subpar (by his awesome standards) puts him comfortably in the .300/30/100 club!

[Jermz]

And who are the guys that we think could do it this year? I would think everyone from 2007 is a safe bet to repeat except maybe Carlos Lee. He will probably give us .285 this year.

I would also think Berkman, Konerko, Morneau, Utley & D Lee have a chance at doing it again this year. And I have always liked Jason Bay, but I don't know if his days of hitting 30 HR's are over already.

Any young guys out there that might do it?

[holyroman]

why would you bet against Carlos Lee?

How many teams can say they have 4 guys in there lineup with a legitimate shot of hitting the .300/30/100 mark?

[Honus Wagner Rules]

Thirty HRs is just not impressive anymore in this era. It should be .300/40/100.

see, I think the opposite I am not as impressed with 40 homers, and say a
.212 average, as I am with a .312 average and 30 homers.

And that's way I said a .300 and 40 HR, not just 40 HRs regardless of BA. And, yes a .300 BA and 40 HRs is more impressive than a .300 and 30 HRs.

Then we are in agreement.

[bob]

Also, .300 with 41 HR's is even better.
The .300/40/100 club is a bit more exclusive, in fact only A-Rod was in it last year, although we were spoiled in '05 and '06 with 5 guys each time.
What would people here consider "historic" using the avg/hr/rbi method? .330/45/120? I dont know about the RBI totals, since you can have a brilliant season by avg and HR totals but be on a subpar team (and visa versa), so not make the cut.

[brewcrew82]

Ryan Braun (in 113 games last year) was only 3 RBI away from joining this group. I'd say he is a good chance of making the list this season. :crossfingers:

[Old Sweater]

Thirty HRs is just not impressive anymore in this era. It should be .300/40/100.

Yeah, a whole .04% of the players have .300/30hr/100rbi/ the last 4 years. Way to easy to do.

How did you get 0.04%?

[Westlake]

why would you bet against Carlos Lee?

If he were in another park, I would bet against, but not in Minute Maid. He's amazing there, but only average on the road.

I would bet against the Astros having even 2 .300/30/100 hitters. Just because of odds -- and well, I dont think Pence is going to hit at that level next year.
