He's not missing bats and he's not changing speeds enough.   Agree on Cain, Moose, and Hochevar, but I don't think Moose will hit .260. I see around .235, and I think he leads the AL in strikeouts. Never thought I would say that, but he just can't hit the ball right now. That is...unless Alex Gordon strikes out more than Moose.  Mark Reynolds and Adam Dunn are in the AL too, but I think Moose and Alex will strike out more than them.
