But I’m now going to give you a mystery that has no answer that I can come up with.
The mystery is this:
How is it even remotely possible that the Kansas City Royals cleanup hitters — THEIR CLEANUP HITTERS — are hitting .211/.278/.301 this year? How? Seriously. How?
You probably saw this in the Baseball Reference Blog — and it boggles the mind. They list off what the cleanup hitters have done for all 30 teams. The Royals cleanup hitters are hitting 18 points worse than any other team, they are on-basing 19 points lower than any team, and they are slugging NINETY-EIGHT points lower than any team.
The Royals cleanup hitters are hitting worse than a replacement level catcher.
I’m going to repeat that but with italics:
The Royals cleanup hitters are hitting worse than a replacement level catcher.

I did like how one reader pointed out that he did not mention Dayton Moore once. The Royal Gestapo must be on to him.
