This team has way too many overpaid, over-adulated also-rans.....save for Escobar and Harper, the rest are useless shyte....from Werth(less) through Zimmerman, down to Ramos (who cannot run any faster than a cement truck with 4 flat tires) and of course, to the Strike Out King, Ian 'I love myself' Desmond....nothing but giant gaping holes in whatever passes for a line up....without Span to get on base, we might as well stake the opponents to 3 runs....but only two players could actually drive in anyone....because it's a cinch that Werth has no power and no clue (just a gigantic paycheck in exchange for doing nothing except staring at the scoreboard when he whiffs or hits a feeble grounder back to the pitcher), Zimmerman is lost and done, Espinosa has a fighting chance, but is sitting in favor of Desmond, who cannot tell a ball from a strike, either catcher we have are zeroes....Taylor whiffs like his mentor (Desmond), Tyler Moore is considering another career, perhaps selling aluminum siding or used cars, Robinson has some clue, Uggla just adds to the opposing pitcher's K count, so, in other words, we have two guys who can hit, a third and fourth who are in the line up sporadically in favor of complete eff-ups like Desmond....while our pitching staff continues to serve up gopher balls....I predicted these AA duds would be 5 back of the Mets two weeks ago...and here they are....sinking fast....the psychological effects are now taking hold as even those with the last ounce of plate discipline are swinging futilely at anything, there is no motivation whatsoever to play anything that resembles 'small ball'...and the errors in the field will start to mount....starting with Desmond....I'd say 9 games back within a month....with the chance at a wild card berth estimated at around 0.0003%....but man, are these guys talented or what?
