I don't think the loss of Luplow made a damn bit of difference. Naylor wasn't exactly lighting up the world either. All marginal players IMO. The real problem is that Jones or Johnson aren't hitting very well either. They addressed the issue when they signed Eddie even though it didn't really work out. The reasoning behind it was good.
Our C are the worst in the league offensively speaking. They're fucking terrible.
We have no depth at 1B and Bradley is anything but a sure bet apparently.
Obviously JRam and Franmil are staples, but after that it's a bunch of question marks.
Amed has his moments, but carrying an OPS under .700 while getting on base at a .306 clip isn't exactly "productive".
