Highest Slugging Percentage, AVG under .240

In the Daily Tracker posts, I keep pointing out Rickie Weeks's uncommon season in relation to batting average and on base percentage. In honor of his two home runs last night giving him fifteen for the year, I decided to look up players with the highest slugging percentage with a batting average under .240. Why .240 and not something more round like .250? Simply because I wanted to keep it close to what Weeks will end up with. I made the report only return qualifiers for the batting title (usually 502 PA, though strike years are different) since it's almost the end of the season. Weeks likely will end up qualifying as he needs 11 plate appearances in three games and he bats leadoff. His current batting line is .235/.375/.432.

Here's the top 20 slugging percentages by players with batting averages below .240:

Name	Year	AVG	SLG
Jose Canseco	1998	.237	.518
Mickey Tettleton	1995	.238	.510
Phil Plantier	1993	.240	.509
Dave Kingman	1976	.238	.506
Rob Deer	1986	.232	.494
Dave Kingman	1975	.231	.494
Adam Dunn	2006	.234	.490
Mark McGwire	1990	.235	.489
Carlton Fisk	1985	.238	.488
Jeromy Burnitz	2003	.239	.487
Mike Cameron	2004	.231	.479
Mike Pagliarulo	1987	.234	.479
Jose Valentin	2004	.216	.473
Gorman Thomas	1980	.239	.471
Gus Zernial	1957	.236	.471
Pat Seerey	1946	.225	.470

Mark McGwire	1989	.231	.467
Darryl Strawberry	1989	.225	.466
Mike Pagliarulo	1986	.238	.464

Rickie Weeks' .432 slugging average this year would place him into an exact tie with Rob Deer's 1990 for 63rd place (both would have .431818181818 and so on).
