My previous entry piqued my interest, so I decided to see how all the current Indians have done on their birthdays.  As it turns out, only seven have ever played on their birthdays.  The sample size is far too small to say anything, but it’s still interesting.  The information is as follows:

Hafner:   4 gms, 5-13, 4 R, 2B, 3B, HR, 6 RBI, 2 BB, 2 HBP (Team 1-3)
Peralta:  5 gms, 6-19, 6 RBI, 2 R, 2B, HR, 2 BB, SB (Team 3-2)
Shoppach: 1 gm, 1-4, HR, 2 RBI, R, HBP (Team 0-1)
Sizemore: 6 gms, 8-24, 2B, 3B, HR, SB, 3 R, 5 RBI, SF, BB, SB (Team 4-2)

Total: 16 gms, 20-60, 10 R, 3 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 19 RBI, 5 BB, 3 HBP, SF, 2 SB
        (Team 8-8)
        BA: .333
        OBP: .406
        SLG: .650
        OPS: 1.056

Laffey:  1 G, 1 GS, 5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, ND (Team 1-0)
Lewis:   1 G, 0.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, L (Team 0-1)
Wood:    2 G, 2 GS, 8 IP, 6 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 11 BB, 8 K, 2 HR surr, 0-1
          (Team 0-2)

Total:  4 G, 3 GS, 14 IP, 10 H, 16 R, 16 ER, 17 BB, 13 K, 2 HR, 0-2
        (Team 1-3)
        ERA: 10.29
        WHIP: 1.93
        K/9IP: 8.36
       BB/9IP: 10.93

If the current Indians on their birthdays were a single player, that batting average would be enough for 25th all-time, and 1st among active players.  Their on-base percentage would be 44th all-time, and 6th among active players.  The slugging percentage would be 2nd all-time, and 1st among active players, and their OPS would be 9th all-time, and 3rd among active players.

Their pitching is less promising.  That ERA, WHIP, and BB/9 obviously aren’t making any leaderboards.  The K/9, though, is enough for 21st all-time, and 10th among active players.

More complete data after the jump.
