So Jeff Schultz Writes A Common Sense Article

Unfortunately...his editor completely spit the bit on the stats part:

They rank No. 1 in walks (.295), No. 1 in on-base percentage (.352), No. 2 in doubles (124), No. 2 in runs (.327), No. 4 in batting with runners in scoring position (.277), No. 5 in total hits(.565) and No. 6 in batting average (.262). All in all, that’s pretty good for a lineup most of us wanted to blow up in April.

I'm not math-magician, but I'm pretty sure totals should not be expressed as averages. That's all I have to point out. It's a dumb mistake, but the article itself makes sense. (And yes, it's just an error of a period in front of the numbers, I'm aware.)
