Players having slow starts

[mancini79]

It's frustrating to see the Angels stars struggle out of the gate, I decided to look around the league.

 

Hitters: BA/OBP/SLG, HR

McCutchen: .216/.286/.375, 2 HR

Kemp: .261/.316/.352, 1 HR

Ethier: .229/.319/.386, 3 HR

Stanton: .243/.361/.414, 3 HR

Bautista: .192/.280/.521, 7 HR

Beltre: .221/.282/.400, 4 HR

BJ Upton: .151/.221/.291, 3 HR

 

 

Pitchers: W-L, ERA

Dickey: 2-4, 4.50

Hamels: 1-3, 4.78

Halladay: 2-2, 5.08

Gio: 2-1, 4.50

Gallardo: 2-1, 4.97

Beckett: 0-3, 4.75

Cain: 0-2, 6.59  WOW!

[Angel Oracle]

Can't disagree with that, but this is a total cluster blank from top to bottom in this org.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

An important point is that they are not all on one team.

[Erstad Grit]

I would take Bautista's stat line over Hamilton in a second 

[tomsred]

Hey, how come Blanton didn't make the list?

[mancini79]

I left the Angels off the list since we already now their stat lines. Plus I didn't feel like typing a bunch more names.

[Ohtaniland]

McCutchen, Beltre and BJ Upton all play for 1st place teams so they must have teammates that are not having slow starts.

Bautista has more homeruns than Trout, Pujols and Hamilton combined.

Kemp and Ethier have Ellis .342, A-Gonz .337, Crawford .307 picking up the slack. Dodgers are 12-12 and only 2.5 back

Stanton is a rising star playing on a crappy team.

Just cut and paste the entire Angels roster, it's quick and easy.

Beltre and Cain are killing me in fantasy

[DW711]

Adam Dunn, Mike Moustakas, Josh Reddick.

[OneLove22]

Beltre's numbers are down but he's still making good contact and is a beast on defense.  

[mancini79]

I was going to include Dunn, but he sucked last year. I don't consider Moustakas and Reddick at the same caliber as the ones mentioned.

You mean the year before.

 

Dunn had 41 hrs in 2012

[HaloMagic]

Chicks dig the long ball.

[mancini79]

You mean the year before.

 

Dunn had 41 hrs in 2012

Yeah, you're right. He had a crappy avg last year though. But this year is atrocious.

 

.134/.211/.341, 5 HR.

 

At least last year he had a .800 OPS to make up for the low avg. So far this year he's not bringing much.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Been meaning to post something similar. You could also add jay bruce. Votto definetely isn't votto just yet. Billy butler is mediocre. Prince fielder has been pujols for the last two weeks, etc. Posey is human.

Flip side, guys like dexter fowler, carl crawford, wells and arencebia are on fire. I doubt anyone wanted to keep wells. No one would have traded trout for fowler, or crawford, etc.

[Erstad Grit]

Hey, how come Blanton didn't make the list?

 

Because he is not having a slow start he just sucks. 

[tdawg87]

Blanton is having a slow career.

[Mark68]

Yeah, you're right. He had a crappy avg last year though. But this year is atrocious.

 

.134/.211/.341, 5 HR.

 

At least last year he had a .800 OPS to make up for the low avg. So far this year he's not bringing much.

Dunn's average has always been crappy (.238 lifetime), but he is the epitome of the Three True Outcomes. Except in 2011. That year, he only had Two True Outcomes: BB and K.
