I understand the worries about the offense, but here's the team Rizzo fielded last year (and likely to field again this year) with their wOBA rank among NL regulars listed.
C: Ramos 6/15 with over 300 ABs
1B: LaRoche 9/11 with over 400 ABs
2B: Rendon 7/12
3B: Zimmerman 3/14
SS: Desmond 2/12
LF: Harper 3/10
CF: Span 9/13
RF: Jayson Werth 1/17
So while I understand concern over the offense, it's crazy to blame Rizzo. He's put above-average offensive players at 5 of 8 positions, and I'd say Rendon has a chance to be a 6th this year (LaRoche probably does too, but I don't want to poke the bear too much). It's really not his fault that Zimmerman decided to settle in at about 80% of his peak, Harper wasn't "HarpGod" last year but merely a very good offensive player, or that ownership wasn't willing to pay Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder $200+ million to start their immediate declines here rather than in LA and Detroit.
