What has been up with him lately? I heard he struggled all through the fall and had a rough summer. The kid was great all last year. Just mental right now? Hope he can get it turnaround around quick, PM has a pretty short leash.

Too soon to worry. If we are three weeks in and he is still struggling then you can start worrying.

Baseball is what is up. He will figure it out. He is too good. Be patient.

I agree with this. But I can't help but laugh at the immediate reaction of this thread.

First, the OP isn't even suggesting Dup be benched. He's only noticing what many people have: Dup is in a slump.

Second, this isn't exactly "just the start of the year". As the OP said, he's been having a rough time since the summer.


So yes, this deserves a thread and discussion because it's a real problem. But again, I agree with you that he'll find hits again.

Do you not consider all of summer and fall "a minute"?

Pretty good summation of a shite response to this OP. See my last post.

OP suggests that PM has a short leash meaning AD may be in trouble of being benched.
That ain't gonna happen.

It very well could. It's not going to happen tomorrow or next week but his spot in the lineup isn't a lock.

Ok. You got me there.
If AD goes 0-50, maybe so. I should have said in the next few games.

You think he doesn't?

He's already in trouble of switching lineup spots with Smith. But I agree. Right now, we have 5 really solid hitters, a platoon at DH and LF, and Pap who's offense is irrelevant. Which means there isn't much incentive to get Dup out of there for a bat considering his defense. However, his defense may be a bigger problem...

He can track balls down but i've never seen anyone say he can throw worth a damn. I can overlook that if he's hitting. But if he struggles mightily from the plate (again this is an IF for those seeing red and cant understand hypo's) like he has for the last several months then PM will have to try something else.

Jeez the Rant is hot today. I was just trying to talk some baseball. I know its early, i understand baseball i know slumps come and go. I just wanted to see what other people thought about him struggling. It hasn't been a 3 game struggle, it has been an all summer, fall, and first 3 game struggle. I think AD gets out of the slump also, just curious what other thought. You can mark my word that PM will make a move pretty quick. I would not be surprised to see him move AD to the end of the lineup.
