Hitters that are not valid trust

[CJMorello]

Mike Lowell only has 30 AB's so far this year due to being on the 15 day DL.

And what's about Tulo... owful numbers 0.163 0 Hr's

Nomar 0.158, J.J.Hardy 0.211 1HR 6RBI
Jose Guillen 0.165 1HR

Tulo was slow out of the blocks last year also.

Amazing how vets are contract driven
Manny had an off year but watch out this year he is looking at 40 plus 120 plus and a 320 plus year

So, a typical Manny year for him then.

It's still April. Nothing really to be concerned with. Lots of baseball to be played.

Also, many of the hitters you listed play in cold weather cities. The ball doesn't carry as far in the cold, so that may partially explain it. As for young guys like Pence and Fielder, pitchers may be starting to adapt to them, requiring them to make adjustments

Even Barry Bonds had slow starts.
By April 23, 2001, Bonds was batting .220
By May 6, 1991, Bonds was batting .156

Frank Thomas was batting .200 (0 HRs) on April 25, 1993. He then went on to win the AL MVP.

George Brett was batting .209 on April 22, 1980. He then went on to bat .390

Carlos Delgado is absolutely terrible thus far:
.208 batting avg with 1 hr and 8 rbi's.

[Zagi-CRO]

Hey now, the Mighty "Juan" Pierre is hitting .256 with only 43 AB's at the end of yesterday.


I think that the players you listed will finish closer to their career averages then the 20 game averages they have at this point.

Ok, it's true. They are underrated now, of course but they still have 'bomb' in their hands.
