River Cities and the Case of the Vanishing Offense

Some of you may have noticed that, while I'm still in first, certain things haven't happened this year that did last year. Notably, my offense hasn't happened.

1B Caufield. Doing as well as can be expected. AVG up 7 points to .290. OPS down 18 points. Projected HR falls from 13 in 2009 to 7 this year.

2B Palacio. Major Drop Off! AVG down 33 points. OPS down 39 points. HR actually trending up with his 2010 projection of 20 up from 13 last year.

3B Fout. Oof. After averaging 37 HR over the last four years due to injury and general drop off he's on pace for 16 this year. In addition, his AVG dropped 80 points and his OPS 168 points. Definitely an off year for the 31 year old slugger.

SS Hukill. Last year's ROY and leading MVP candidate for this season he's seen his AVG drop 24 points and his OPS drop 62 points. HR project to 31 which is down a bit from 2009's 37.

RF Valdez. Other numbers are up but the slugger his ZERO HR in April and is projected to go from 42 HR in 2009 to 27 this year.

Thank goodness for my supersonic pitching. Someone's got to bail me out here.
