He is off to a horrible start, but so is pretty much everyone else too. It seems every player is now swinging for the fences instead of just contact. Pete Rose in this game would look like a complete fluke with his bland hitting style of merely getting hits.
Reggie Jackson on the other hand would fit right in. He has the all time lead in strikeouts.
Perazza was hitting the ball pretty well last night even if it seemed he too was trying for the fences. We really do need a good, solid contact hitter or so.. Maybe 5 of em.. 5 hitters with .300 BAs and a few who can knock em out would win more games than just homer run hitters who strike out 60% or more of the ABs.
