The thing is the game has changed. 7 8 and 9 hitters arent asked to hit 250 with no power anymore. They are asked to be legit hitters which leads to alot of rbi situations for leadoff hitters. Wilk happens to be a power hitter so its fine. Im fine with wilkerson but the fact is that you cant get a hit without the ball being in play so high strikeout guys are more prone to extended slumps than guys who continually put the ball in play. That is what we are seeing now. Eventually he will heat up but for now he cant get a ball in play.
