Hell it seems like everyone is trying to have career worst years besides Bobby and Maikel. If Salvy, Vinnie, Massey, and India all didn't look like absolute ass, then with Maikel's emergence and India playing like he had previously this offense wouldn't be the worst in the league and would be more than good enough.
JJ couldn't have expected the offense would be this bad.

Seems like we have no "contact" hitters, players willing and capable of just putting the ball in play. Looks like a majority of the lineup is swinging for the fences, and we only have a few, that rightly have those kind of expectations? Last year, if I remember was the same problem early, then they finally started making better swings when the Royals made their runs.
Maybe a new hitting coach is in order?
