Of course they do. They have monster hitters in their lineup.

#3 Hitter Bay
#4 Hitter Adam Laroche

I dont think they are bad players per say, they simply just arent clutch and are way tooooooooooo soft for my liking. THey go about their business as if their heads are up their asses. Then when they struggle or slump it makes them look that much worse.
