The obvious takeaway from this

is that someone needs to whack him in the ass with a bat once a week to keep the hip injured.

Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

Once again -- he is what he thought he is.

isn’t what should be expected from a guy like Guillen? Not so much that he’s a slow starter (although he is, historically - but his September numbers are even worse). But isn’t a well-worn piece of sabermetrical wisdom that guys who don’t walk that much are streakier? Just looking very quickly at his monthly splits, his ISO month-to-month doesn’t vary that much (it does spike at .194 [how should it be listed, like this, or 1.94?] in July). But it’s generally about .15.18 [or 1.5-1.8]. So when the hits are falling, he’s going to seem “hot.” When they aren’t, well, he’s like he was in April.

Crown his ass.

Hope is not a strategy. And neither is playing Tony Pena every day. (Rany Jazayerli)
