Bonds-zo's Montreux As Barry Bonds

Bonds-zo's Montreux

As Barry Bonds prepares to hit his historic 600th home run, I thought it would be fun to look at the next four starting pitchers that he will face. I know that I just upbraided Jayson Stark for doing just this yesterday, but it's just so damn fun:

Pitcher      AB  H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO hbp  AVG   OBP   SLG   OPS HR/PA
Kerry Wood   14  3  0  1  0   3  2  2  1  .214  .353  .357  .710  .000
Matt Clement 10  4  1  0  1   4  1  0  0  .400  .455  .800 1.255  .091
Kip Wells     2  2  0  0  1   4  1  0  0 1.000 1.000 2.500 3.500  .333
Kris Benson  10  6  0  0  1   1  6  1  0  .600  .750  .900 1.650  .063
             36 15  1  1  3  12 10  3  1  .417  .553  .750 1.303  .064
Career     8204   505 73   1614  1318 71  .294  .424  .592 1.016  .058 
              2410      599   1848 

Those are some great numbers. Notice that in the small sample, Bonds HR-per-Plate-Appearance rate is higher than his career average. I don't think it means anything at all, but it's kind of interesting.
