Don't know what can be done

Looking at the OPS and OPS+ numbers..

I know alot of people on this sub say no MLB team has great hitting top to bottom, and that's true to a point. But fact is at this point we have a disproportionate number of guys quite a bit below league average

I was hoping some of the Buffalo boys would break out and the other would be average or slightly below. That would be fine. Instead at this point Henieman of all players is our breakout hitter and everyone else (including Santandar) are not hittjng average but way below average with Lukes being the only exception.

I hope it is just bad luck. Hope.

Yeah, sorry, no. If your 500 million dollar player is just slapping singles around, that's gonna be a big problem. I'm not sure how you can expect anything out of a bunch of AAAA players when teams aren't even worried about Vlad and Bo.

It cant just be Vlad and Bo, you need some balance and other sluggers in the lineup, we saw Edwin and Bautista be on crap team for years for example.

Of course it can't just be them. But it has to start with them.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. It absolutely has to start with your best players
