Wow, sounds like you are a victim of TCR. I do recall Roberts being an inconsistent and streaky player; but that stat line is worse than mere inconsistency or a bad patch. I have a feeling it is not going to get any better. And I’m not sure you can do anything but bench him. I mean, for curiosity sake, you could release him, see if he gets picked up, and if that changes anything.

I am struggling through a mediocre 1971 with Dick Allen, who IRL excelled for LA that year, and then won the AL MVP in 1972 with the Pale Hose. He’s not that awful, but only 10 HR in September, and 55 RBI hitting fifth or sixth in a decent lineup. He’s even playing a decent LF, though no arm at all. I keep thinking he’ll bust out, and now it’s too late.
