The speed is gone and his power has shriveled up. While his HRs should stay in his career range, he has just 6 doubles, which puts him on pace for only 14 (he typically hits in the 30s). I assume his lack of doubles are why his RBI total is so low.

He has gotten streaky with age. In May 2018 he was OPS .583. IN June 2018 he was OPS 1.199. The RBIs are more the team--6 2B but 12 HR.

Also, he's no longer at high altitude.

Yeah, the "high altitude" in phoenix is a big part of it.

If the team was to blame, how does Ozuna register 55 RBIs to Goldy’s 27? He’s just not hitting with RISP. In 40 ABs with RISP, he’s hitting .250 with 0 HRs and just 11 RBIs. Yelich, by comparison, has 45 ABs with RISP and has 30 RBIs.

And honestly, I’ve never heard about Arizona players having an altitude advantage, but I’m not discounting it.

Chase is usually top 10 in runs and has been as high as #2 in the last five years. This year it's a pitchers park. Strange.

OK Maybe it's not team. Still, situational hitting tends to be fairly random.

Seriously wtf?

Wonder if I should make a low-ball offer for him. Team is out of the race but his power number has taken a nose dive. Another thing that concerns me his OBP has been spiraling down.

A contender just dealt him yesterday for practically nothing to a non-contender. I was shocked. I expect the non-contender to wait for a hot streak and then flip him for more.

Good plan if the hot streak ever comes.

Someone in my league inexplicably dropped Matt Olson, would I be crazy to drop Goldy for him? I'm at salary limit so I can't just pick him up.

As always depends on what you need...Olson is hitting well right now, and for power. If you can find another way to add Olson, do it, if not, pass...Goldy is liable to go on a month long tear at any time.
