The Blurb – 7/10/07
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007From July 9 issue of The Sporting News, the mid-season analysis of the Washington Nationals:
The team’s hitting has been disappointing, and now SS Cristian Guzman will miss the rest of the season with a thumb injury.
They say that like it is a BAD thing. To be fair, he was having a good season (small sample size of 173 at bats mind you) with a line of .329/.382/.468 (BA/OBP/SLG.) However, he has career numbers of .263/.302/.378. That’s a career OPS of .680. .680! Yikes.
Now for the Atlanta Braves tidbit:
RHP Kyle Davies and LHP Chuck James have shown the potential to be reliable starters.
Davies is 4-7 with a 5.55 ERA. He has also given up 90 hits and 49 walks in 86 innings. Double yikes.
