Never as long as The Marmot is the manager.
He does not believe in everyday players unless there is a 100+M contract forcing him to do so.

You say more in average, and more steals. Thats league leaders territory.

Last season, there were only 16 batters with 100+ RBIs.

Burleson hit 290 last year. Scott stole 34. I’d bet against regression for both on those stats

Tommy Herr. 1985. 8 HR 110 RBI 31 SB 80 BB 55 SO

I haven't looked up but I wouldn't be surprised if he is the last player to get 100 RBI with that few home runs and strikeouts. Analytics models today say players need to focus on launch angle and exit velocity.

Nice stat. If no regression, we are looking at .300 and 40 ish steals.

Are we in AS range.

FYI, a few outliers I found:

Allen Craig had 97 RBI on 13 HR in 2013.

In 2011, Micheal Young of Texas had 106 RBI and 11 HRs. He also had 103 RBI and 14 HRs in 2006.

In 2011, Victor Martinez of Detroit had 103 RBI and 12 HRs.

In 2009, Bobby Abreu of the Angels had 103 RBI and 15 HRs. He also had 107 RBI and 15 HRs in 2006.

In 2003, Edgar Renteria had 100 RBI and 13 HR.

In 2000, Jeff Cirillo of Colorado had 115 RBI and 11 HRs.

Analytics say that when you bat behind the NL ROY (Coleman) and NL MVP (McGee), who collectively racked up 386 hits and 166 SBs, you might get a lot of RBI opportunities... ;)

Hererra has a shot but totally dependent as always by runners getting on base in front of him and his staying healthy.

But I'd say the odds are slim.

I’d say no, but it also depends on lineup construction and not resting the “hot hand”. Oli fails at both.

If the Cardinals run then Burleson will have a chance if he hits in the 3 or 4 slot in the lineup. JMHO!

Cool. We should have kept Renteria.
