Difference between Reed and Ackley is Reed was a 2nd round pick 59th. Ackley was 1st round 2nd overall pick.

We just don't have "good" hitters on this team.

I haven't seen one yet.

Jaso is our best hitter. He consistently works counts, takes walks, gets hits. I think he is the only one who does that.

Everyone else struggling to keep their OBP above water. It HAS to be a fundamental flaw in the system somewhere. I just don't understand it.

I think Brendan Ryan was hit because his glove is simply the most impactful thing we have on this team other than Felix's arm.

We're probably the only team in the majors that really doesn't have a hitter worth plunking. Thus, we have our straddling-the-mendoza-line shortstop get beaned.
