Take
a deep breath and repeat after me: "It's only been two weeks." Every player won't get off to a blazing hot
start, some will struggle to find their swing and settle in.
There's
no need to panic.
Mark
Teixeira (.114 AVE - 6 R - 1 HR - 6 RBI - 0 SB)
Teixeira
has a career .242 average in April, so early season struggles are nothing new.
Carlos
Lee (.104 AVE - 3 R - 0 HR - 0 RBI - 0 SB)
& Hunter Pence (.156 AVE - 4 R - 1 HR - 2 RBI - 1 SB)
Lee
and Pence may personally pick up Lance Berkman in Round Rock and drive him back
to Houston.
Prince
Fielder (.244 AVE - 6 R - 0 HR - 3 RBI - 0 SB)
No
homeruns after 2 weeks? That just means
there will be more later.
Mark
Reynolds (.182 AVE - 8 R - 4 HR - 9 RBI - 0 SB)
He's
got 4 HRs, but remember to keep your batting average expectations in check.
Aramis
Ramirez (.170 AVE - 4 R - 3 HR - 8 RBI - 0 SB)
Three
of his eight hits went for homeruns - at least he's showing some pop after last
year's shoulder injury.
Jason
Bay (.217 AVE - 8 R - 0 HR - 2 RBI - 1 SB)
Having
Mike Jacobs hit cleanup ahead of him didn't help. He'll pick it up, but don't expect Fenway numbers.
Brandon
Phillips (.224 AVE - 7 R - 1 HR - 7 RBI - 1 SB)
Phillips
is streaky with a capital "S."
There will be a hot streak somewhere down the line.
Adam
Dunn (.162 AVE - 7 R - 1 HR - 2 RBI - 0 SB)
We
all know Dunn won't blow you away with his average, you're in it for the
homeruns - which will come soon.
Bobby
Abreu (.231 AVE - 5 R - 2 HR- 7 RBI - 1 SB)
He's
a career .299 hitter who hasn't batted below .283 since 1997 - enough said.
