    Stats Why can't Clement hit in the MLB?

    Is it possible that the Gary Sheffield line of reasoning can be true. "I don't feel like I am part of the team when I am the DH."

    Clement, playing mostly DH in the majors was hitting .167, at the AAA level while playing mostly C is hitting a paltry .372. Is it as simple as this reasoning or is it that he is putting too much pressure on himself to stay in the bigs. Or could it be, that he realizes there are a lot of OLD folks on the team that can't hit for crap and he has too carry their load.....Any ideas?

    Or he's just started.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    He hit .400 as a catcher up here. I mean you just asked a rookie that played catcher most of his minor league career up here to play DH and Catch. And to top everything off try hitting 5th for the crappy inept M's offense.

    Then come back to me.
