Grady Sizemore is healthy for the first time in a long time, probably early 2009. He's playing pretty good defense, his arm looks strong as ever... but he can't hit.
His power looks completely gone, he's slugging a pathetic .328 and he hasn't hit a home run since April 11th. Heck, the last XBH he had of any kind was May 27th. He's been terrible, and yet, for no reason at all, I have this hunch that if we dropped him, he'd catch on somewhere and turn it around offensively.
Anyway, if Sizemore is fully healthy again, what's the deal. Why is he having so much trouble at the plate? Does he need new contacts ala Brian Roberts? Does he need a hitting guru to work with him day and night... or do the Red Sox need to cut bait and end the experiment?
