A's hitters off to horrendous start

[RynoRules]

Team's line is .230 / .309 / .349. Worst OPS in the AL, second to last in BA and OBP. No wonder they made the Langerhans deal.

 

(Just for the record, the Cubs: .271 / .327 / .417)

didn't they get off to a similar slow start last year?

[RynoRules]

I think so, but Beane must think something is different this year if he is already moving to supplement the lineup.

They are really doing quite horrible. They totally need a good hitting outfielder like Jacque Jones, and they totally need to give us that crappy pitcher Gaudin in return. :)

The A's seem to always get off to a slow start. Then after the AS break, they'll go on a tear and play .650-.700 the rest of the way.

Perhaps, but i was only talking about their hitting. Anyone notice anything different about them this season? Considering the org emphasis on OBP and the rather early trade Beane made I think there may be something more here.

Billy Beane is actually a dragon who lives underground and runs pyramid schemes for weight loss products!

So they could have another lousy hitter?

Also the fact that Kotsay, Bradley, and Swisher are on the DL.

[RynoRules]

Good point. Perhaps that's why the Langerhans deal was made.
