Scubs 7, Drinos 6

After Kouzmanoff's triple last night I wrote an e-mail to a friend of mine who owns Zambrano in a fantasy league that said, "Los must bow to the Kouz." I was referring of course to Zambrano's nickname "Crazy Los."

A few minutes later he wrote back with this question: "query who has better numbers per ab this year - big z or kouz."

I laughed the statement off and then proceeded to watch Zambrano reach out his bat and send a 2-strike offering from Cha Seung Baek into the gap between Gerut and Giles for an RBI triple of his own.

What a monster.

So it got me wondering, if Zambrano had the same number of at bats as Kouzmanoff this season, what would his numbers look like. (Keeping in mind of course that Zambrano's numbers almost certainly wouldn't project out the same way if he played everyday.) Here is the breakdown:

Zambrano's current line: 41 ABs, 15 hits, 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 bomb, 5 ribeyes, .366 AVG

Kouzmanoff's current line: 242 ABs, 66 hits, 8 2B, 2 3B, 8 bombs, 25 ribeyes, .273 AVG

Zambrano's 242 AB projection: 242 ABs, 88 hits, 12 2B, 6 3B, 6 bombs, 30 ribeyes, .364 AVG

Based on these numbers Crazy Los profiles to a nice 3 hole hitter.

Sign him up.
