This guy.... he is talking about Abreu.

 

 

“I wouldn’t use the word ‘struggling,’ ’’ hitting coach Todd Steverson said Monday. “For his standards, yeah. He’s found a way to maintain a decent average but he knows he’s getting himself out more than he should be. It hasn’t been about the pitchers, it’s been about him and being able to stick to a plan. He’s well aware of the things he’s been doing. It’s easy to see it.’’

 

Did this guy really say .237 is a decent average?

 

No wonder we can't hit - the bar is high

Ugh.

Steverson had a lifetime batting average of .256 at the MLB level so .237 really isn't that bad in his perspective.

 

Of course, he only had 43 at-bats.

I don't blame him much for the offensive futility over the past few years... but how this guy has managed to keep his job is remarkable.

177th out of 182 full-time players in terms of fWAR. He's at negative 0.6 on the season, easily the worst on the team.
