Jim Edmonds Hidden Skill

Hi VEB,
Short article about Jim Edmonds over at Beyond the Boxscore today. Besides power and on-base ability, did you know that Jim Edmonds has grounded into ZERO double plays this year? Check it out at BtB.

By the way, I really like VEB. lboros is one of the best SBNation blogmasters around.

Best,

He's HIT into a couple

but not grounded into any. The two he HIT into weren't his fault, but that's why the stat has officially changed (I distinctly remember him hitting a pop bloop and Pujols running too far off first).

Fair's fair

I don't think we should dock Edmonds for Pujols roaming too far off first :)

Comments like yours are why I posted onto VEB, since you guys have presumably seen/heard/followed intently on gameday most of the games. Since I'm not really a big Cards fan, I don't have the kind of information gained from following all season.

Thanks for the comment.
