Yunel's first 162 games

Yunel Escobar's MLB debut was June 2, 2007, and he played his 162nd career
game on June 16, 2008. (The Braves played 178 games over that stretch.)
Here's his stat line over that time frame:

162 games (140 starts)
590 at-bats
186 hits
33 doubles
1 triple
11 home runs
96 runs scores
58 runs batted in
61 BB (5 HBP)
83 strikeouts
7 stolen bases (+7 CS)
..315 / .382 / .431

I thought some of you might find the numbers interesting.

On a related note... over the Braves last 162 games not counting today,
Chipper has 120 RBI, Teixeira has 106 RBI (as a Brave in only 125 games),
and Francoeur and McCann each have 99 RBI. Just thought I'd share while I
was looking...

Nice debut. He'd likely have won a rookie of the year award but for his
debut not coinciding with the beginning of a season
