The good news: After largely sucking through the first month,
Ellis Bolling and
Alexis Vazquez have been doing much better.
Javier Cordero has been replaced by
Booker Romero, and while I don't expect Romero to light the world on fire, even an OPS in the .600 range would be a vast improvement. One big surprise has been
Patrick Chason who has been getting a lot more playing time lately, mainly because he's been hitting.
The bad news:
Russell Thomas has largely been a huge disappointment. A guy who has been hitting in the .330 to .370 range in recent seasons, and is now getting to hit in one of the most extreme hitter's parks in the league shouldn't be toiling along in the .280 range. Also,
Joseph Swayze, who was great in the first month, has gone ice cold. That's to be expected, given his abilities, but it sure isn't helping.
