Is it just me, or does it seem like Carlos Ruiz has really dropped off in the past week or so? Chooch's numbers have declined slightly, but despite a terrible offensive performance by the team over the past week, he actually hasn't dropped that much.
I for one have been worried that eventually Ruiz would fall back into his old habits and just hide away at the bottom of the lineup, but the number show that at least for now he does seem to sticking with his more patient approach.
Here are Chooch's splits over the last month:
Last 7 days: 5-for-15, .333 average, .375 OBP
Last 14 days: 11-for-36, .306 average, .390 OBP
Last 28 day: 22-for-78, .282 average, .370 OBP
Those are still decent numbers, and the best part is that his on base percentage has remained fairly steady, which means that he is still patient at the plate and drawing walks.
Here is a chart of Ruiz's average and on base percentage throughout the year.
