Now that the season has reached its final day, let's take a look at perspective.
If The Southpaw was talking to you at the beginning of the season and promised ...
... your designated hitter would hit 28 home runs, drive in 97 runs, collect 35 doubles and 73 walks, would you take him?
... your leadoff hitter would hit 21 homers and 43 doubles, score 100 runs, drive in 77 and steal 31 bases, would you take him?
... your team would have a winning record, have five starting pitchers make at least 25 starts and combine for an ERA under 3.60, would you take them?
... your catcher would hit 21 homers, drive in 94 runs and bat .281, would you take him?
Of course you'd take all four of these guarantees, however all four have been knocked for their seasons.
Now check the jump to find out who they are.
The designated hitter is David Ortiz, the leadoff hitter is Jimmy Rollins, the team is the Chicago Cubs, the catcher is Brian McCann.
