Andre Ethier

Slump? Hasn't been the same statistically since the injury. Will he snap out of it? Or is this a sign of things to come.

Based on his stats from last year and before finger injury this year, I would say he will bounce back. I am not worried about him.

He altered his grip on the bat due to the pinky injury. He didn't look too comfortable this weekend against the BoSox.

I'd say last year was a fluke and what he's doing now is more of the player he is. Get used to it.

Nice R+D. If you say it, it must be true. He's broken finger has nothing do with it.

By the way last year, his fluke year, he batted .272

I don't know how much it has to do with the injury, but as an Ethier owner last season I know that he's EXTREMELY streaky at times. He was raking to start last year too and then went ice cold for weeks right after Manny got suspended. Then he started to heat back up again later in the summer.

From 2009:

April: .306
May: .211
June: .268
July: .287
August: .333
September: .212

He'll heat up again.
