This team is missing a bunch of players....It's not just Lind, EE, Lawrie and Morrow....we're also missing bautista, rasmus, Francisco. These guys are feeling the pressure and I'm not totally convinced bautista has been entirely healthy. Bautista has hit less than .200 with no home runs his last 12 or 13 games. Rasmus just marginally better with one home run and hitting just over the mendosa line. Francisco has hit just above .200 as well with a home run.
We have no middle of the order bats right now. Is baustista's play sustainable? No. He's too good a player to play this bad. Rasmus will get hot too. EE will return, Lawrie will get back,lind will be back. All three are back to doing baseball drills. We have another 10 days to two weeks and we'll get them back, but can we play anywhere close to .500 to stay in it...we'll see.
