Here's the problem... Duda and D'arnaud have never ever proven that they can hit consistently, yes they get hot at times but when they are not hot they are terrible.  Conforto is just in his first real year so it's not clear whether he can hit constantly.  I think Wright, Cespedes and Granderson will eventually start hitting and I'll give Walker and Cabrera the benefit of the doubt. But really it's the first two guys we have some major issues with.

Last year Conforto went from Binghamton to Flushing... I think Dom Smith might have to make the same trip.  It's looking like we made a huge mistake in letting Murph go as he was the one guy on the team I would consider to be a professional hitter who just grinds out at bats.

I am praying this is just small sample size but we saw pretty much the same thing last year from these dudes. Unfortunately there is no real help coming.

BTW would it kill Duda to just drag a bunt down the 3rd base line when there is no infielder to the right of 2nd base? Get on  base.  I questioned Long most of last year other than August and I'm starting to question him again. Our guys just look lost at the plate right now and we have ZERO discipline. Who on this team is going to fight 16 pitches like Gordon did last night or Murph did last year.

I also agree with criticism of Collins... great guy but I really suspect that last year was much more on Dan Werthen than it was Collins.
