o everyone down voting any bad word said about line up protection, do any of you have proof it's real?
According to the monthly splits, Freeman has been getting more balls per plate appearance since Kemp arrived:
Strikes/Balls:
Aug - 201/172 (1.17)
July - 275/169 (1.63)
June - 307/189 (1.62)
Note that Freeman's BB-rate is higher by 10% over any other month this year. If anything, pitchers are actively trying to get to Kemp.

It’s hasn’t been a great season for the Royals, and especially a rough one for Salvador Perez. The past month has been exceptionally bad for Perez, as he’s batted .182 with only two home runs. Unfortunately, I think what Perez has been is what he is now, a hitter with a mediocre average and above average power. Now if you’d paid attention to him over the past two years, you should have expected this, he’s had a bad month but it’ll pick up.

Perez is no longer the .300-hitting catcher with 10-13 home runs anymore. He’s turned on the power and turned off the contact over the past couple years, batting .260 both last year and the year before, and hitting 21 HRs and 17 HRs each year respectively and he looks posed to do that once again.

If there’s one major red flag that makes me worry about Perez, it’s his strikeout rate, which has ballooned up from 14.8% last year (a career-high at the time) to a now career-worst 22.5%. Naturally, his chase rate has gone up with it, now sitting at a career-worst 45.2%, and his contact rate is at a career-worst 78.1% as well. However, on the plus side, his hard hit rate is at a career-best 34.1%.

Teheran’s season has been great, but he’s regressing, as is to be expected. Obviously he’s not 6.75 ERA bad, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he pitched to a 3.80 ERA the rest of the way, though I’d still expect his K/9 to hang out around eight. If you’re expecting Teheran to be what he’s been all year, then it’s time to panic, because that’s not happening. However, he could still be a useful pitcher, especially in quality start leagues, just temper your expectations.

Zack Greinke has really been kind of a problem all year. A 4.29 ERA and 7.82 K/9 is not what you drafted him for in the fifth round (of most leagues), especially considering he had a 1.66 ERA last year. Injuries have obviously been a problem, but even in the past month, Greinke has been brutal, posting a 7.84 ERA over 20.2 innings.
