Chone Figgins sucks

[Javier]

All Star season and he was barely above average.  Danger sign especially if it's a guy that never really showed power.

He hit .298, lead the league in walks and hit 30 doubles. Even if he dropped off big time, I don't think it's reasonable to say we should have expected his average to drop 50 points the first year then 110 points (from 09) the next. Juan Pierre was a brilliant signing compared to Figgins stats wise, and he was only making 5 mill rather than 9.

The three years before his career year his OPS+ was 94.  Most of his SLG probably came from his speed to get those extra base hits, and the fact that the Angels really preach aggressive baserunning.  I was expecting a below average year for Figgins, and sure he's gone on to be a joke but it's no surprise. 

[theremedy360]

The fact that you're talking about expecting a down year is a complete understatement. A down year is one thing, but the guy is hitting .185. Don't act like you were expecting him to go from an all star caliber player to a guy who can't find a spot in the Mariner's lineup (on pace to become the worst offensive team in the DH era).

Them boys got a 16 game losing streak. Chone Figgins doesn't deserve so much raw raw in a solo thread. There needs to be mass shaking up, which unfortunately will not happen.
