<P> Courtesy of Deadspin.com, a couple more wacky stats; Shaq Green-Thompson </P>
<P>was this year's 18th round draft choice. He's playing for their Gulf Coast League team</P>
<P>as an outfielder. He's had 32 official at-bats this season. He's got 0 hits and 31 strike-</P>
<P>outs. That's right, 0-32/31 Ks. He did make contact once and grounded out. Don't </P>
<P>feel too bad for Shaq though. The stupid name notwithstanding, he'll be playing football</P>
<P>for the U. of Washington this fall and is the #1 safety prospect in the nation.</P>
<P> On the other side of the coin, Aaron Cook (dropped by the H.D.s earlier this year) is</P>
<P>actually doing fairly well - just ask the White Sox. But in 29 2/3 innings pitched this year,</P>
<P>he's got two SOs. That's a 0.61 K/per 9 innings ratio! The inevitable question is what</P>
<P>happens if Cook faces Shaq? Discuss.</P>
<P> Oh yeah, the H.D.s are stubbornly still battling it out this year. Anyone interested in</P>
<P>some solid keepers in exchange for hitting help?</P>
