A couple days ago, I posted my list of slow starters in the AL. Now it’s the NL’s turn.
Stats as of 4/27.
| Dan Uggla, Atl | .188, 8 rbis | Those eight rbis come on 5 HR. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing. |
| Geovany Soto, Chi | .227, 1 HR | I’m thinking that unless Geo starts shaping up, his time is running out with the Cubs. |
| Ryan Dempster, Chi | 1-2, 7.63 ERA | Eight HR in 30 2/3 IP. Yikes! |
| Hanley Ramirez, Fla | .211, 3 SB | hitting the same as John Buck |
| Carlos Lee, Hou | .207 | …but does have 13 rbis |
| J.A. Happ, Hou | 1-3, 6.94 ERA | lack of control isn’t helping |
| Jonathon Niese, NY | 1-3, 5.10 ERA | workhorse is leading Mets in IP, though |
| Albert Pujols, StL | .250, 8 EBH | I know he’s got 17 rbis but have you noticed? He’s got more Ks than walks so far. |
| Madison Bumgarner, SF | 0-3, 7.79 ERA | I think a lot was expected from this Giant hurler |
