Over on an Orioles board I read, they pull out all of these stats. Some crap like based on the exit velocity and launch angle of the balls he's put in play, he's a .151 hitter this year. Then someone says "Okay, he just needs to go 10 for his next 34 to get to .151".

Hello! Do you really think a guy who is 0 for his last 53 is going to go 10 for 34?

He's declined every year for the last 3 years. .262 to .221 to .215 to .168. He hasn't been a major leaguer for the last 2 seasons. That's not going to change.
