Thought I'd take a look at the percentage of times individual players have been driven in once they get on base.
As a first example, Votto has reached base 156 times. Subtracting the 11 HR, that's 145 times actually ON base. He has scored 53 times, but you subtract the 11 HR again to get 42 times he was driven in by someone else or some other event.
So he has scored only 29% of the time when on base. Not good.
The rates for some others:
Stubbs: 43 of 103 (42%)
Phillips: 42 of 110 (38%)
Bruce: 29 of 94 (31%)
Gomes: 18 of 67 (27%)
Rolen: 24 of 59 (41%)
As you can see from this information and the previous post...Phillips and Votto do a fine job driving in Stubbs, Votto and Rolen drive in Phillips a lot, but we aren't doing enough hitting behind Votto.
