Our bats are and aren't the issue. Because we really are getting plenty of hits every game, so it means we are seeing the ball. Its our clutch hitting that has me worried. Every game I wince as I look at how many runners we left in scoring position. With the number of times we have guys on second or third, we should be averaging at least 3 more runs a game. Beltran's avg and doubles look great, but it doesn't show how many times hes gone down looking with men in scoring positions. The 3 RBIs he has on the season would make you think the guys in front of him aren't getting on base, but this is hardly the case.
Pagan needs to go back to the 2nd hole cause he really isn't more than a table setter with his short armed swing. Alou coming back will really help to balance the order of lefty righty, and I look forward to seeing the games were pagan is 2 and alou is 6 (I'm guess delgado 5 to break up the delgado church schneider lefty heavy bottom of the oder).
