Sadly, this is more than likely true.

Yeah I love Sam Fuld, has good at bats, huge fan of how hard he plays, good defense, etc. But I just don't see him keeping this up. Koyie was a better hitter than him in the minors even.
Koyie hit .323(10-31) in April. Since, he's hitting .152(14-92).
Hoff hit .281 in April/May(27-96). Since he's hitting .184 (14-76).
Scouting finds their holes. Like I said, I like what Sam Fuld brings to the table and I'm all about playing the hot hand, I'm just not expecting too much the rest of the way. If he does get a lot of playing time, I hope he proves me wrong and keeps kicking ass. But his .357 obp in 351 plate appearances in Iowa this year is 20 points lower than Milton Bradley's even.
