I know a lot of people out there are numbers people and I will admit that I am too. I started looking at the final numbers for the Red Sox and as a team and I have to admit that some of the numbers are quite impressive.
If you look at the team numbers, most of the hitting numbers are in the upper half of the American League. The pitching numbers are right at the top of the American League and MLB.
- Final record: 96-66 (tied with Cleveland for best record in AL and MLB)
- Runs scored: 867 (3rd in AL, 4th in MLB)
- RBI: 829 (3rd in AL, 4th in MLB)
- Home Runs: 166 (8th in AL, 18th in MLB)
- Batting Average: .279 (5th in AL, 6th in MLB)
- Slugging percentage: .444 (3rd in AL, 6th in MLB)
- Stolen bases: 96 (7th in AL, 15th in MLB)
- Pitching cumulative ERA: 3.87 (1st in AL, 2nd in MLB)
- Cumulative WHIP: 1.27 (1st in AL, 2nd in MLB)
- Strikeouts by pitchers: 1,149 (3rd in AL, 6th in MLB)
Here is a look at the final numbers of all the players who were on the Red Sox for the 2007 season. I have highlighted the team leaders based on the MLB eligibility requirement of 3.1 plate appearances per game in a season.
