Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Reason for Vladdy's slump

It turns out that Vladdy was suffering from a bum knee.  Here's the link to the story.  A short quote from the article (I hope this follows correct quotation guidelines):

During his lengthy slump, Guerrero didn't offer any excuses, but it was later revealed he was having trouble getting any lower-body support in his swing with a knee problem that weakened his leg drive.

"My knee wasn't feeling that good," Guerrero said. "It's feeling better now. I'm taking treatment every day. That gives me leverage -- that is the foundation of hitting. When you don't have that, you have to use your upper body. Now everything works together, upper and lower body."

Now that he is better, our offense should be 10 times better.  Look out!

IT didn’t affect his fielding all that time … weird

"No DH. No."

That quote sums up the reason for his improved defense this year.

Vlad has had problems with both knees almost all season.

Have to blame the slump on something I guess.

The internet destabilizes every hierarchy it contacts.

I thought it was trying to figure out

How to find a balance with the added weight of all that hair he’s got this season.

I'm at a loss

as to why this is a revelation. I just assumed that was the problem watching him gimp around all season. I’m looking into a crystal ball and I’m seeing a permanent roll as a DH.

GA GA he's the man, if he can't do it, no one can

He knew he had a knee problem in the offseason

and declined the recommendation to have it cleaned out.

Pretty much since the 03-04 offseason.

His rumored injury problems were one reason he ended up dropping into our laps.

That would be his back

His knee did not play into that.
