George Kenneth Griffey, Jr., was the first overall selection in the 1987 amateur draft out of Moeller High School in Cincinnati. Other notables taken in the first round include Jack McDowell (5th), Kevin Appier (9th), Delino DeShields (11th), Mike Remlinger (16th), Jack Armstrong (18th), Craig Biggio (22nd), Pete Harnisch (27th), and Travis Fryman (30th).

Baseball Knowledge 101: Batting Average vs. OPS
Published 8/4/2008 by HighLeveragePerformer at The Crawfish Boxes
... In 1999, Craig Biggio , like Eckstein in 2006, hit leadoff for a club that won the NL Central. Unlike Eckstein, Biggio and the Astros lost in the Divisional round to the Atlanta Braves. A look at Biggio's numbers from that season though, tell us that he did more to help his club than did Eckstein in 2006. Bidge's BA that season was .294. Almost identical to that of Eckstein. Where Biggio separates himself from Eckstein is in his OPS of .843, especially his OBP of .386. From that, we can see Craig Biggio in 1999 recorded an out roughly 4 percent less frequently than did Eckstein ...

... It's true, you're not just walking to walk, as McRae says in the article. But when the bottom of your order couldn't hit its way out of a wet paper bag, you need to find ways to get on base, and a walk is the most efficient way to do so. That is, unless you're Fernando Vina and can get hit by pitches like no other. Craig Biggio was the man - he could do both. ...

Farewell, Craig Biggio

... He's got more doubles than any active player. He's third among active players in total bases, behind only Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. Overall, he's been on base more than any current player not named Barry Bonds, who's in a league of his own when it comes to getting to first base. And yeah, I'm cherry-picking stats, but that's not the point. The point is that under all the pine tar and grit and dirt is a real Hall of Famer. His '93-'99 seasons were about as good as it gets at the plate for second basemen (unless you're Joe Morgan or something). And I know that he's tailed off since about the turn of the century, but things are going to feel seriously weird without him at second base for the Astros next year. ...
