Yep. Theriot worries the hell out of me always swinging for the fences, and Alf picked a perfect time to perform one of his signature disappearing acts. We just aren't going to muster much offense on a consistent basis if we have 4-5 guys slumping and if we're without a true cleanup hitter for most of the season. I think when Aramis comes back, we're in for a disappointment, because we can't expect him to be himself right out of the gate. I'm finding it hard to imagine this team being an above .500 team deep into the season playing such stupid baseball and having zero ability to manufacture rune. Our patience at the plate has dried up. This reminds me a lot of what happened in 2006, but at least we have stronger pitching.
