Yuniesky Betancourt has joined the rest of the Mariners by having a terrible, terrible month of May. His line:
3/22, (.136/.136/.136), 1 run, 1 stolen base (watch ‘em here), 1 K
Yuni’s week of weakness has spoiled all that praise I gave him for starting the season strong. His rate stats now sit at .270/.283/.374, which are ugly, even for Yuni. I know it’s just a small slump, but Yuni’s at bats aren’t that pretty. He’s hitting a lot of weak fly balls, and swinging at too many pitches.
I’d still say he’s playing better than a six-year-old, though.
