Anyone got a stat on the percentage of times Dyson scores when he gets on base?

Wil Myers continues to slump in AAA. Down to .252/.349/.392 in 143 ABs. Four HRs, 50 Ks.

Rany linked to this in his latest blog post. I remember it, but didn't know it was on YouTube. For those not old enough to remember, watching Willie Wilson hit triples and inside-the-park home runs was one of the most exciting things I've seen:

That's why I had irrational exuberance when Dyson first came up. I know I'm not supposed to like players like that because they usually are overrated offensively -- they don't walk, they don't hit with power, make too many outs, etc. -- but Dyson reminded me a lot of Wilson, and he was just so fun to watch.

Wilie was so fun to watch as a Royals fan. Wilson was awesome on the basepaths.

He's been on base 12 times this year and scored 8 of them. That's 67 percent.

That's an insanely high rate and will come down, but he also has 5 2B and 2 3B. When he puts HIMSELF in scoring position, Dyson is just hard to keep away from home plate, because he's scoring on ANY base hit other than an IF single or a rocket right at a guy with a strong arm.

34.965 K rate.

Was at that game. All I wanted for my birthday, that year, was tickets to the Yankees series. My Dad got the tickets, and took Me and 2 of my buddies to the game. We sat in the Left Field Deck. That video REALLY brought back some memories. My Dad passed away 11 years ago, and both of those buddies died as well. One of them was murdered, and the other passed away 2 years ago of cancer. I went from happy to depressed in a matter of minutes.....

Sorry. :(

siberian khatru, depressing people since July 2002

It's all good, my man. I'm the last man standing. It's better than the alternative. ;)

That dude had some wheels.

Love me some Willie Wilson. He's great on Twitter too, if anyone here uses it. He actually interacts, and follows back. Looks like his demons are behind him and he's enjoying life.

More like May 1966.

Whatcha say boys...another series win? Let's get Shields some runs tonight!
