Willie Harris, .400 Hitter
Did you know that the majors had a .400 hitter this late into the season? Willie Harris of the Braves has gone 8 for his last 10 to raise his average to .412 for the year. Trouble is, he's still only starting half the time, almost never against lefties and not always against right-handed starting pitchers. He's actually been over .400 most of the year, having dropped below it before his current sizzling hot streak. And with 8 doubles in 97 AB's, his slugging percentage is .546, even though he only has one homer! With 8 stolen bases in 10 tries in the mix, you'd think Bobby Cox might write his name on the line up card at least five or six times a week.
