People need to stop making comparisons to last year. We're missing a major component (Cannizzaro) from last year. That makes all comparison moot.

My point is that teams get better as the year goes on all the time. Sure if Cannizzaro wasn't here last year, I don't think they turn it around like they did. But, this team is a lot more experienced so a hitting coach isn't near as important as he was last year. The veterans are the ones who are struggling mainly. It's all mental. They've proven they can hit, just need to gain some confidence.
