Dude was having a horrendous year even before the injury. It happens.
His K's went up drastically in 2009 with the move to Citi Field/pressure to hit HRs in the big park. Unfortunately, even though the homers came back last year, the K's have continued to increase. I expect most of his outs to be via strikeout at this point. It's just a part of his game now. He used to be money with 2 strikes.
I'd love to see this team stay around .500 for when Wright, Davis, and Johan return. Could be pretty fun. Wouldn't hesitate to deal Beltran or K-Rod if the offers come up, though.
