Casey Kotchman is getting way too lucky. His BABIP is what's keeping him going; it's all luck. Anyway, can you please check out the new running back stat I made? Thanks.

Yes Kotchman isn't a top caliber player like the rest. Just like to show the players in the top 10 of key stat categories.

No, I'm not saying that it's your fault for putting that up; I am glad you showed me these numbers. I was just adding to what you wrote. As always, I enjoy reading your articles and statistical updates.
