Additionally, if you watched her swing this year, you see some bad swing mechanics. This could possibly be due to the oblique injury she is supposedly suffering from. But overall, she was having a rough start this year batting 0.125 with just 4 hits having 32 at-bats. No home runs and 5 RBI's with more strikeouts (12) than she had the entire year last year (8). She can still provide leadership from the bench but to say that it is a huge loss if she doesn't play anymore this year might be somewhat of a stretch. Again, not a knock on the young lady who I think is talented. I am simply making an observation from the data that is available.
