    Nobody cares about steals totals. We care about how fucking slow the guy is now. Jeez.

    My question is it because of additional weight, small sample size or an underlying injury. It's a fair topic. If his sprint speed was the same as last year, his weight would be a red herring.

    Sure it's a fair topic. I just don't think anyone can answer the question.

    The lack of hair has messed with his mojo, which affects everything.

    Apparently, that distinction now belongs to Sandy Leon.

    We figured out that clutch exists, so we got this one too.

    Last night, I had a dream that I was at Yankees stadium and Beni hit a HR to RF to start off the game. For whatever reason, he was really emotional on his way to 1b. It was very sweet. Then I woke up and remembered that we had fat Beni this year. :*(

    The hair shaved 10 pounds off, but he compensated by adding twice as much in blubber

    To give my opinion on this matter, I am a little concerned with his lack of production, but am not quite in full panic mode. I'm not yet convinced that this is a long term issue

    He started off slow last year too. He really started to hit his stride the end of last May. He's fine. I don't think it's a problem yet. It's weird that his noticeably slower this year though. That does really impact his long term value unless he can boost the power numbers. The k rate is at a career high right now too.
