Michael Wuertz
Power Still Off
Submitted by cubsnet on Mon, 2007-04-16 08:06.The Cubs don't have a home run out of their outfield or their first baseman yet, and as a result, they have an ISO of .101, which is now 15th in the National League, ahead of only the San Francisco Giants, who sit at .094. The league average is .137. Florida leads the NL at .199.

Wuertz's Rare Accomplishment
Submitted by Squib Hits on Sun, 2007-04-15 14:18.BP's Nate Silver gives us an idea of how rare Michael Wuertz's performance against the Cincinnati Reds was on April 13, when Wuertz entered the game with no one out and the bases loaded and struck out the next three hitters: "This trifecta has happened only 27 times since 1960, making it about four times rarer than a no-hitter (there have been 117 no-nos since 1960), or hitting for the cycle (124)." Only Stan Belinda has accomplished the feat twice since 1960.
