Peavy turns in gem for Padres
Peavy continued to dominate as the Braves were kept off balance by his continual changing of speeds. His variation of speeds is what Black viewed as one of the strengths of Peavy's performance. "He threw some slow curveballs, a couple to Chipper Jones, and that kind of planted the seed for the rest of the guys in the lineup," Black said.

 Fantasy History of Statistics - Batting Average
Fantasy History of Statistics - Batting Average
Batting Average has come a long way in 30 years. In the early 80's it was an aberration for catchers or second basemen to hit .300. Lately, it's an aberration for them not too.
