Even The Mailbag Readers Are Noticing Lee's Problems
Written by wrigleyville   
Monday, 25 August 2008
From the Cubs.com mailbag: Is it my imagination, or since the All-Star break has Derrek Lee had a substantial drop-off in hitting? Sure, he's hitting about .290, but he has only nine extra-base hits and 18 RBIs since the break. His slugging percentage is dropping, and he seems to be hitting a lot of singles and leaving men on base. Are you aware of any explanation for this? While the team is doing great, and the bottom of the lineup is really performing well, the No. 3 hitter of the best run-producing lineup in the NL seems flat. -- Rob B., Golden, Colo. Is it my imagination or has Rob B. had too many Coors? Why ask the question if you already know the answer? Or is he baiting Carrie? Let's see her answer: The Cubs have been fortunate in that players like DeRosa and Soto have picked up the offense. Hitting coach Gerald Perry says: "Sometimes, it's a matter of getting things in your mind and you start trying too hard to accomplish something. It's easier said than done to just let it happen and trust it. It does wear on your mind some." Lee wasn't too concerned. And he says recent back spasms, which flared up Saturday, are not the reason for the lack of home runs. As Lee said, "We're playing so good, who really cares about your stats?" The stats, Derrek, measure what you do. And it is undeniable that the Cubs would be playing better if their No. 3 hitter weren't the inspiration for the DPLee-O-Meter. And, for the record, this has what he has done since the All-Star break: .244/.315/.359, 3 HRs, 18 RBI, 25 Ks, 14 BBs, 5 GDPs in 33 games.
