Cheery Theory

We're still in the small sample size modus here on May 12th but in a weird and twisted way the numbers may provide for a bit of hope for the moribund offense. If we go by the theory, perhaps tragically grasping for straws, that players eventually end up with stats close to their career averages, there may be some gold to be mined here. Lots of guys are performing under their norms.

.avg. .obp .slg .ops
Vizquel .242 .293 .290 .535
Career .275 .341 .359 .700

Aurillia .266 .313 .395 .708
.278 .331 .442 .773

Durham .268 .338 .382 .720

Feliz .248 .281 .459 .739

Molina .315 .350 .486 .836
.276 .312 .410 .722

Bonds' numbers can never be adequately compared with our limited knowledge here on Earth. His stats may be rather mundane numbers somewhere in the universe but not here.

But I digress...

According to my "Cheery Theory", we can reasonably expect Vizquel, Aurillia, Durham and Roberts to eventually hit much better. Winn should stay about the same and Feliz is eternal(and not in a good way). Only Molina may be subject to the laws of gravity. His numbers will probably drop unless he is having a career year..I would be in favor of that.

Of course, there are always surprises. Who would have guessed that dude Jacob would be invisible? Still, there could be a ray of sunshine in the threatening skies..

Or not....
