He's got the potential to be one of those upper-echelon, top-five-or-10 players from a certain decade or era. If he continues to stay healthy and get better every year like he has, he'll definitely be the class of his era of ballplayers. No question"

The batting championship is awarded to the Major League Baseball player in each of the American League and the National League who has the highest batting average in a particular season.
Currently, a player needs to accrue an average of at least 3.1 plate appearances for each game his team plays in order to qualify for the batting title. An exception to this qualification rule is that, if a player falls short of 3.1 plate appearances per game -- but would still have the highest batting average if enough hitless at-bats were added to reach the 3.1 average mark, the player still wins the batting championship.
The latest example of this exception being employed was in 1996, when Tony Gwynn had a .353 batting average, but only 498 plate appearances -- 4 short of the 502 necessary. Inasmuch as 4 additional hitless at-bats would have lowered his batting average to .349, but .349 was still better than anyone else in the league, Gwynn was named the National League batting champion.

He dont even have to hit .400 to win.
I think .355 would win it for him.

He woulda won it last year had he not went 0-6 in our last game. Matt Holliday got a hit in extra innings to take the title.
I'm not moving to Welch, but I might move to Tokyo!

I was in the stands in center field at the old stadium, and Garr hit a homer that bounced right in front of me . I was almost killed trying to get the ball.

OK then what are the rules ?
Chipper Jones wins the National League batting title.
If for some reason he dont qualify because he is on the disabled list again five times , tooty fruity.
He has to win it.

And get awarded whatever they give him.

yeh
My bet is based on him getting hurt and will not qualify.
If he plays every game or the majority of games, you got a good chance.

Andruw Jones has knee surgery
Former Brave to miss 4-6 weeks of play for Dodgers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published on: 05/27/08
Chicago ? Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andruw Jones will likely miss the next four to six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee Tuesday.
Jones, who is hitting .165 with two home runs and seven RBIs in the first year of a $36.2 million, two-year deal, went on the 15-day disabled list Saturday.:scared :scared
Torre added that there was no additional damage found in Jones' knee during the procedure.

18 million a year and he is batting .165
Same old Andruw Jones
If he could back away from the food bucket he might not hurt his knees.

We've talked about this clown before. At least he won't have anything hindering his body building career sooner or later.
wasted his talent
