I know he hit well up through the middle of May, but since then it has been all downhill from there. I have a hard believing that he's fallen off a cliff at his age, but maybe the Braves knew what they were doing. His and and Cheo's performances since May at the top of the lineup have been horrid.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-59364">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Personally I wonder whether Marcus is still feeling the effects from his earlier rib injury that he suffered at the end of April.

I don’t fully understand the “the lineup doesn’t make much difference” argument … so … ignoring that … the lineup I’d field if I were king/manager is this …

BGiles
LF’er
Cameron
Greene
Barrett
3B
Adrian
NOG
P

… and I’d get Bradley into LF as soon as possible.

His last 65 PA: 102/215/169 for an 385 OPS. Maybe just a bad run, but having that production in your 3 hole for an extended period will kill you. His OPS has dropped from 906 before this slump to 814. And when you couple in NOG's production during the same stretch: 117/250/317 for an 567 OPS, it is not surprising our offense cannot get too much going when you are generating so little from your 2-3 slots. I don't know where the magic button is to press on these guys, but hope this passes. With AGon, I am pretty convinced it will pass, though some rest (ASB?) may help. With NOG, he may just suck. OPS in 2005: 826, in 2006: 729 in 2007: 668. So, right now, 2006 is not looking like an aberration, but a trendline. He is young enough that I am perplexed by his decline, but hate seeing it. I hope it passes, but if it does not, we may need to be looking for a 2B as well. Could be worse, though. We might have Barfield: 619 OPS.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-59352">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Maybe a slump, maybe tiredness, whatever, but AGon is killing us.
