The Tigers have two games left and if Dirks goes 0-10 in those two games (unlikely) he will finish the season at .313. Though he missed half the season, he will end up with more than 300 ABs.
As far as I could find in the Baseball Encyclopedia, this will be the highest season average for a former Shocker.
Other season averages:
Mike Lansing, 1999, .310 (145 ABs)
Joe Carter, 1986, .302, (663 ABs)
Pat Meares, 199, .308 (91 ABs)
Casey Blake, never above .300
Phil Stephenson, never above .300
Russ Morman, never above .300
Koyie Hill, he did hit .333 one year with a total of 3 ABs
Eric Wedge, did hit 1000% in one AB in his first Major League "season", otherwise never above .300
Doug Mirabelli, never above .300
He's had a great season, with some decent pop in his bat. He will make a lot of money with his next contract.
He had two hits last night against lefty Chen so he's already moved beyond a platoon player only playing against righties.
