On offense, the Dodgers were as weak as the pitching was strong. The
hitters pulled off a special kind of Triple Crown, finishing last in
batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging average. Overall, the
team hit .243/.303/.368 in a league that batted .262/.332/.417. The best
hitter, outfielder Shawn Green, batted just .280/.355/.460 with 23 HRs
(36.6 Value Over Replacement Player [VORP*], the 44th-best player in the
league in that category). SS Cesar Izturis was more typical, batting
.251/.278/.315 (-2.2 VORP) while consuming 10 percent of the team's total
offensive playing time.
The Dodgers finished 16th of 16 teams in runs scored, trailing the 15th-
best offense by 68 runs. Dodger Stadium is one of the toughest hitter's
park in baseball, mitgating the Dodgers' woes a bit. Still, after adjusting
for their home park and league, the Dodgers' team on-base percentage plus
slugging average (OPS) was 17 percent worse that league average. Despite
the great performance of the pitching staff, the team scored just 18 more
runs than it allowed.

* VORP measures the number of runs a player contributes above what a
fringe bench-warmer would offer.
