''We can create more runs,'' Guillen said. ''In the past, yeah, we could score 10, but all of a sudden, when we need to score one, we can't. That's why our philosophy changed.

''We have a bunch of guys in the lineup who can hit 20-plus home runs. I would rather have 10 guys hit 20 home runs than have one guy hit 50."

Let me understand this.  He would prefer having a lineup that produces 200 home runs to having a lineup that produces 50 home runs.  You know, he's got something there.

Are there any teams built around having one player hit 50 home runs a season while the rest hit zero?

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

Are there any teams built around having one player hit 50 home runs a season while the rest hit zero?

The '98 Cubs?

Also, the 2001 Cubs.

And probably a few of the teams that Babe Ruth was on.

Was actually my first thought as well. You could make the case for '20 and '21, but after that he had Gehrig.

I meant literally zero, IDITOS.

Amazing.  He's figured out a way to get 10 guys into a 9 person game.

In the AL, the pitcher doesn't bat and literally hits zero home runs.

I think he's counting on Peavy to do some serious damage during inter-league play.

Buehrle hit one off of Looper in Miller Park last year.  It was glorious.

Att'y: Right up here, Terry's Taco Stand, USA. I could go for a taco. Five for a buck.

Duke: Sounds horrible. I'd rather go somewhere where's there's one for 50¢.

I'd rather have 10 guys that hit 50 dingers.

[Internet Apex]

I'd rather have 10 guys that hit 50 dingers.

I'd rather have 50 guys hit 10. Gimme 50 Jeff Bakers, please.

Why not get 500 to hit 1. Bring on the Juan Pierres.
