Offensively this is a sad lineup. We have one regular (Harrison) hitting over .300 and nobody else over .250 (Gift excluded)

Well the plan is though that we counter that by putting a guy that's hitting under 150 in the 2 hole...and it's not a pitcher...

Actually, maybe we need a couple OFers. Polanco has stunned me with his lack of development.

I am hoping Cervelli starts getting balls to fall in. He was hitting the ball hard before his injury, but was getting out.



Two hits today, with a Run and an RBI.

What did you expect from Polanco? Here is some perspective:



24 year old Polanco: 22 HR, 86 RBI, .258 ave, .373 obp, .463 slg, .786 ops



24 year old McCutchen: 23 HR, 89 RBI, .259 ave, .364 obp, .456 slg, .820 ops

Almost 100 AB's into this season, I expected more than a .313 slugging percentage with 4 rbi's.

25 year old McCutchen had 31 HR 96 RBI, .327 ave

I'm not getting that feel for Polanco this year

I don't mean this to be rude. But are you joking, being serious or arguing just to argue with me? If you think Polanco is playing well then let's just say I disagree. He looks like a cartoon figure running around the OF. I've never compared him to Cutch. I fully expected a ton of power and average.



Maybe he'll turn into an All Star (like I anticipated) tomorrow, but he is turning into one Enigma.

I just asked what you were expecting and pointing out that 24 year old McCutchen put up the same numbers on offense as 24 year old Polanco.



It's like you are calling Polanco a "bust" already (Polanco had 182 less plate appearances entering age 25 season too).



Did you think the same thing about McCutchen's development after his 24 year old season?
