I was being cheritable with my "vs. career OPS+" stuff...trying to see the argument that some of these guys were having typical bad years...but obviously, when I went into the season, I believed the team would score 750 runs or so (and allow 600 or so)...so I was 250 runs off on offense...mostly because I expected Lopez to NOT suck and Guti to NOT suck and Bradley to NOT suck and Figgins to NOT suck...I did project Kotchman and Wilson to be disastrously bad offensively...but with the thoguht that Bradley just had an emotionally-charged off year in Chicago and no evidence that he was physically weakened or should decline and the belief that Lopez' established level of performance would continue etc...I wasn't expecting everyone to bomb all at once. And I don't think you can say that happened because we didn't have a clean-up hitter. It's not like the 2009 line-up was all that different.
