as a reminder, we're missing two of our best hitters right now.....
Not that it isn't true, but I think it's a misguided way of thinking. First of all no team should be banking on having a healthy lineup, it's a pitiful excuse. Second of all, if we're banking on Ramos and Zimmerman being completely healthy the whole season that's just poor planning.
Ramos has the body of the planet Earth on legs, all that weight is not good for his lower body and it's hard to bank on that. Not to mention he plays probably the most physically abusive position in the game. The hand break is a bit fluky but shouldn't exactly be unexpected.
Zimmerman's had shoulder problems for years now, if we weren't prepared to deal with the likely possibility is was going to bite us, we shouldn't have signed him long-term, as much as I wanted to.
We have plenty of capable hitters on the team. They're just playing like utter, godless garbage. Injuries hurt, but that's an easy, lazy excuse.
Edit: There's a chance you may have been sarcastic in your comment, in which case, I apologize. But I'm sure someone's thinking it even if you weren't serious and I think that's BS.
