April 4, 200620 yr Who will have the most strikeouts on the team? I really don't know who to pick. My first instinct is Willy, only because the players lower in the order likely won't get as many at-bats.
April 4, 200620 yr Well, the 3 most obvious choices are Cabs, Willy, and Jacobs. Willingham has a 25% career minor league K rate. Jacobs has a 23% career minor league K rate. Cabrera has a 23% career major league K rate and has dropped it by each of his 3 seasons (27% in 03, 25 % in 04, 20% in 05) If I were a betting man, and I am, I would bet on Willingham, mostly due to his propensity to strike out looking. That is, of course, assuming Sham is correct about Reggie, who has a 31% career minor league K rate.

He may have the highest % though. One can make an argument for Hermida as well.
