The Brewers have been around the middle of the pack in offense in the NL. As a team, they're not hitting as well as they did last year but at least they're average.<BR/><BR/>Just because a few <I>other</I> players aren't hitting doesn't mean we shouldn't ask why <I>Prince</I> isn't hitting. He's the one who hit 50 home runs last year. Yes, we should also ask why Corey Hart isn't hitting and why J.J. Hardy isn't hitting, but they are all separate questions.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea if Corey Hart eats meat, but if he doesn't though, he would be doing it the right way - out of the lime light and not making a big deal about it like Prince is.Scott Segrinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16295640673958654212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895150694271170118.post-27981934586596472192008-05-12T10:46:00.000-05:002008-05-12T10:46:00.000-05:00If the whole team is hitting less than expected, what's the excuse for the other guys? Corey Hart's on pace for only four home runs after hitting twenty-four last year and still eating meat, isn't he?Theron Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15337426180976322059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895150694271170118.post-37501198285326218692008-05-12T09:43:00.000-05:002008-05-12T09:43:00.000-05:00thank you. I've been waiting for someone to do an analysis like this. it's not just that his numbers are down, it's that the ones he does hit aren't nearly with the authority they use to be. You can call it a slump if you want, but to me its pretty obvious that his power is down. I'm not a regular reader on this site, so I'm not sure how much you've dedicated to this issue, but I've been expecting this kind of production out of Prince ever since I learned of his diet change back in February.Kennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168056675826398290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895150694271170118.post-33058039158660790792008-05-11T10:46:00.000-05:002008-05-11T10:46:00.000-05:00I agree, Prince looks bigger this year and by the way this is exactly why you don't give 3rd year players 5-year contracts. I very much want Prince to go on a tear, hit 50 HR's and make the Brewers pay but with every day that goes by I wonder if maybe Prince is a 30HR, 275BA guy and not a 50HR 300BA guy.<BR/><BR/>Now if it was only Prince that was down we could deal with it but the whole team is hitting less than I expected.
