As far as Tex goes, he just doesn't look right at all this year. He's hitting more grounders than I remember him hitting, here or in Texas, for one thing. And he just seems less aggressive at the dish all the way around. I was expecting him to drop to something like .280/.375/.520 this season just because he's no longer playing half of his games in Coors West, but he's only hitting .254/.350/.423.
Hell, he's being outhit by Chipper (obviously), McCann, Escobar, KJ, Blanco, Prado, and Gotay this season (though obviously those last three are in small sample sizes), and Kotsay is right on his heels.
