Mariner stats / career leaders

by Thingray on Dec 31, 2008 11:27 AM PST Comment 28 comments

Opened my new M's calendar today, and they list the career leaders in several categories. I thought some were interesting, so I figured I'd share:

Batting average: Ichiro .333

Hits: Edgar 2,078

HR: Junior 398

RBI: Edgar 1,175

Stolen Bases: Julio Cruz 290

ERA: Jeff Nelson 3.26

Wins: Moyer 145

Saves: Sasaki 129

Strikeouts: Randy Johnson 2,162

Games Played: Edgar 1,913

Now the fun part. Try to figure out who is second in all those categories, without looking it up!

Happy New Year everybody!

EDIT: Apparently Ichiro has passed Julio Cruz on the SB list since this calendar was published.

Do they state the minimum sample size for ERA and BA?

No, but looking at the list I'm assuming there is some type of minimum.

No Willie Bloomquist on the BA list for his one hot September or anything.

Well it's a career with the Mariners list

so Ballgame’s September would get brought down by the rest of his years here. But I imagine there has to be someone who was a Mariner for a very short period who got lucky and had a high BA or low ERA with the team.

Looking at it there doesn't seem to be anyone like that.

calendars tend not to be concerned with such things as sample size

Edgar had about 500 more hits than Griffey

Which is why I was wrong

but I was thrown of by the total listed above being incorrect

In which case (w/o looking) I am changing my answer to Ichiro

by JI on Dec 31, 2008 11:50 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

So

For HR Buhner was my next choice.

ERA is a wild card for me. I’ll say Rhodes.

Saves I might have to say Putz.

SB

Ichiro is the M’s all time leader in that category – 315.

I was at the game when he passed Julio Cruz.

This could be correct.

I don’t know when the calendar was printed, but he wasn’t too far behind him on their list.

My try:

Hits: Ichiro
Avg: Edgar
HR: Edgar
RBI: Edgar
SB: Ichiro
ERA: Moyer (since Jeff Nelson doesn’t count and RJ is the obvious #1)
Wins: RJ
Saves: Putz
K: Moyer
Games: Griffey
