Didn't we think getting rid of Getz and Frenchy would automatically boost the offense? Nope!
2013: 4.00 runs/game (11th) .694 OPS (11th) 89 OPS+
2014: 3.95 runs/game (12th) .667 ops (14th) 83 OPS+
Obv Country Fat-ass & Erica are the two biggest falls. But anyone thinkin we'd make up with Infante & Aoki was dead wrong.

Here's what I look at. Can Infante drive the ball? Yes, he can, seeing as he has twice as many homers as Getz had during his whole stay here in a mere two months. Is Infante a slap-hitter? Depends on the definition. Getz got most of his hits by softly hitting the ball through holes in the infield, rather than hitting line-drives into the outfield.
I believe Infante has done all of the things Gets has done and far more and, honestly, this is one of the dumbest comparisons I've ever seen anyone make. Getz was the worst player in baseball, and Infante is average. Is Infante a great hitter? No, but he's miles ahead of Getz will ever be.
