I was wondering if Ryan Freel’s struggles had begun when he signed his contract extension (announced on April 16).
He’s definitely played poorly since the signing:
14 for 55, 4 BB, 6 K, 1 SB, 2 CS, .255 , .317 , .309, 626 OPS
The problem is, he was just as lousy before the signing:
9 for 37, 6 BB, 11 K, 4 SB, 2 CA, .243, .349 , .297, 646 OPS
Doesn’t mean anything, other than Freel doesn’t appear to be pressing due to this contract. Hell, I wonder if he even remembers that he signed it.
