Andruw Jones Gets a Hit; Pete Orr Plays an Inning

Which happens more often?

Last night (June 24) Pete Orr played 3B in the ninth inning. This was Pete's first appearance in a game since June 20 when he struckout as a pinch hitter for Oscar Villarreal. His time at the hot corner was the first time he had been on the defensive side of the ball since June 12 (he played a full game at 3B vs. the Twins that day).

Andruw Jones got a hit last night. This was his first hit since June 15.

Orr is hitting .192 this season. Jones is hitting .199.

Orr is making $400,000 for the 2007 season. Jones is making $14,000,000.

Here are a few ways of looking at Orr and Jones ROI:

Orr has 2 RBI at a cost of $200,000 per RBI. Jones has 42 RBI at a cost of $333,333 per RBI.

Defensively, Orr has 9 PO at a cost of $44,444 each. Jones has 210 at a cost of $66,666 per put out.

Now look, I'm not saying Orr is better than Jones...."I'm just sayin'."
