Other factors, such as Nava, Gomes, Napoli, and Ortiz are having subpar years offensively. Injuries have killed this team this year. If WMB was healthy, there is no way Xander would be playing everyday right now, and maybe he would even be optioned back to Pawtucket to get that swing back. I see this thread more as a purpose to blow off steam because we miss what we had last year. Everybody slow down and look at the facts here.
