Yay!

Say, where did you find the at-bats needed for Figgy? I have hunted for them and failed, alas.

The qualification is plate appearances which includes at-bats (424), walks (47), sacrifices (9) and hit-by-pitches (0). To qualify he needs 502 total plate appearances.


I get the stats on mlb.com.

If you're on the Angels page, click on the stats button and then click on "Next Stats >>". The "Next Stats >>" link is located in the upper right hand corner above the column headers. TPA is the abbreviation for Total Plate Appearances.

I wish there was a shorter link, but here it is... http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/stats/sortable_player_stats.jsp?c_id=ana§ion1=1§ion2=1§ion3=1&statSet1=2&statSet2=null&statSet3=null&statType=Overview&timeFrame=1&timeSubFrame=2007&baseballScope=null&prevPage1=1&readBoxes=true&subScope=teamCode&teamPosCode=ana
