Do you think it might be more than coincidence that Gonzalez, Youkilis, Beckett, Lester, Pedroia, Aviles etc are ALL not playing to their career averages? Many of those guys have been in the media with quotes that do not project a happy clubhouse. There are exceptions: Ortiz is one. He talks a lot but is producing. To me it seems more than chance that those who are doing most of the talking are the ones who are underproducing the most noticeably.
