CCan't trade him to AL as a DH if his one tool 'hitting' isn't working.

Bad season, or has he entered the Twilight Zone of his career?<br /><br />He hit .177 last Sept, .157 in Spring Training, under .140 in regular season games thru April 30, and .152 in August. He has 13 RBI and just 22 runs in July and August in 196 at bats, in which 2 months he has hit slightly under .200. <br /><br />A guy can slump for a few weeks. Curtis seems to go into multi-generational slump periods. Or is he done, with 3 laps to go? He is batting 1.000 at cashing LARGE pay checks. And is a good guy in the clubhouse.<br /><br />Yanks went for Jacoby and Gardner instead. What did they know that Sandy didn't, folks.<br /><br />Dekker has been a bit of a disappointment so far, but a .347 on base % and just 9 K's in 49 plate appearances are two positives so far. Let's hope Matt, Wilmer, and Dilson go on tears. <br /><br />That Wheeler stat is freaky.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
