Career hitting stats updated

Rather than spend the day after Thanksgiving shopping, I have used the day to begin the stats updates on the website. I have updated the career top ten hitting leaders today, and will do the individual team career hitting leaders in the next few days.

A few things of note are that in addition to Mike Breyman shooting up the charts in several categories, Travis Garcia was hot on Breyman's heels. With both those guys now out of the league, Washington's Chris Sidick should move up several notches in several categories next.

Sidick, who has at least one year of FL eligibilty left, is in sight of the following records:
* Games (ranks 10th, needs 74 for 1st)
* At bats (9th, needs 246 for 1st)
* Runs (5th, needs 64 for 1st)
* Hits (13th, needs 80 for 1st)
* Total bases (11th, needs 212 for 1st)
* HBP (11th, needs 19 for 1st)
* Walks (6th, needs 42 for 1st)
Chris is also within range, although less likely, for records for strikeouts, caught stealing and sacrifices. He already is the career leader in triples.

Also of note is that Joe Ramos moved past Brody Jackson in to second all time in stolen bases, but he is still 72 behind Doug Schutt. He has one year of FL eligibility left.
