Nomack

I knew Tony Womack was a bad player. I express disbelief whenever I see him batting 2nd in the lineup. I couldn't believe that they would put someone with his "batting skills" in the outfield. As a Sox fan, I even celebrated his signing.

But I didn't realize that he was this bad. Go read Larry Mahnken's well-research rant about how Womack is killing the Yankees. It is worth the read, even if you don't understand some of the stats he uses. Some choice nuggets:

- Among qualified players, Tony Womack ranks 171st in the Major Leagues in OPS. There are 172 qualified players.
- 108 Major Leaguers have a higher Batting Average than Tony Womack's SLG.
- Tony Womack has more sacrifice bunts than extra-base hits (6-5).
