Can Johnny Football play baseball too?
On another note, great job again owners/FO for not spending money upgrading with a power bat or two.... and well hell not really doing anything once again to improve off our 1 good year in 5.
Santana and Swisher are supposed to be "power bats"
Santana .148 AVG 5 HR 13 RBI .277 SLG%
Swisher .204 AVG 3 HR 17 RBI .317 SLG%
thats 8 HRs and 30 RBIs so far (45 games in) from the supposed Big Sticks (not to mention the abysmal AVGs and Mediocre SLG%).....not gonna cut it
David Murphy is turning out to be a decent signing ill say though, hitting .291 (360 OBP) with 25 RBI thus far, not a huge power bat by any means but he has been getting the job done, better so then the above mentioned.
Brantley has more HR and RBI then Swisher and Santana combined.....
it should be noted that Ryan Raburn has been a flop so far this year too....guy has 0 HR and 8 RBI in 28 games while hitting .195. The guy got an extension after having a somewhat decent year last year but has beeen a total turd in 2014
Unless Santana and Swisher pull their heads out of their asses I wouldnt expect much from this team.....those 2 absolutely must start hitting a lot better for there to be any kind of putting this season together, kipnis needs to pick up his play when he returns as well
