why is Lawson only hitting .175 average with a .213 OB% when he has decent batting numbers.

And why does this player have an OPS 300 points lower than his career average entering the season?

There are no answers excpet that HBD is a statistical (numbers) game.  Have enough players play enough seasons and you will eventually have someone playing way below or way above what they should be based on ratings.  Kinda sucks when it's your guy though...been there done that

But Lawson isn't that good, anyway.  He'll produce about what he did last year, athough I think his batting avg was a bit high.  68 contact and 63/62 splits is just decent.  He will slug a bit, but his 19 speed means he's not whacking any doubles.  His career BA is about what I would expect. 

And I wouldn't complain about Terrero.  He's having his career year.  Those vR numbers can't sustain themselves.
