Someone said this offense reminded them 2008's. Not in the sense that they'll score 200,000 runs but in the sense that there are few serious weaknesses. In the normal lineup, I'd consider Barney to be the only hitter a team really doesn't have to be worried about. Everyone else is a threat to do something at some level. I know that a late inning lead is no time to bring this up, but this is also the type of offense that can congeal into one large black hole. It isn't at all inconceivable that Ramirez, Soriano, Byrd, and Pena all have overlapping heavy slumps. If that happens during a stretch of 3 games in which Castro does NOT post a 1.650 OPS, things have the potential to get frustrating in a hurry. I really hope it doesn't come to that. What offense would do well when three of the top hitters have heavy slumps?
