The biggest dip is Larry, who's down almost 30 points, and Hines is down about 15 pts. Our OBP is around the same and we're on target for just about everything outside of HRs. Much lower in that area due to losing Alford, Clark, and Ledbetter. Lost 32 HRs between those 3. Add that to Hines not anywhere close to his pace from last year and we have seen a definite dip in the HR dept.
What about the averages of 6-9 in the order and the bench? Very happy with Chance though.

I mean last year 6-9 was:
Alford: .248
Hancock: .287
Larry: .297
Highfill: .231
This year 6-9 FOR MOST GAMES has been:
Chance: .305
Kohler: .218
Long: .234
Whoever DHs: .250
I mean it's about the same. Maybe a little worse this year, but Pulliam is down there now so that helps too.

Thanks for year to year comparison. I don't think anyone expected Kohler to struggle so badly at the plate this year. Long, a replacement due to Highfield injury who may have made a jump this year. After attending many games, never realized overall BA of DH was .250. I thought it was much worse.

Kohler's lack of power this year has hurt for sure. Then factor in Highfill's 10-15 he probably hits. Power numbers being down has certainly hurt us some.

I kind of avg'd it out. Stevens and Downs are a lot higher while O'Brien and Mackenzie are a lot lower. So kind of went in the middle.

I sure wish Stevens could DH and get the at bats. I feel like his upside is a lot higher the more at bats he gets...
