Week 2 Fantasy Baseball: 5 Struggling Sticks

Gyorko was red-hot down the stretch last season, as he hit 15 home runs and drove in 37 runs in the final two months of the season. Unfortunately, he is actually hitting under .100 (.095) this season and has just two hits in 21 at-bats. He is simply lost at the plate right now.

Craig has a career .302 batting average and has matured into a very reliable hitter. Unfortunately, Craig has struggled to find his rhythm so far this season. He currently has an awful .115 batting average to go along with an equally lackluster .143 OBP. Craig is yet another hitter that has struggled to contribute so far this fantasy season.

Beltran crushed two homers in 17 spring games and boasted a respectable .275 batting average. Unfortunately, the veteran has struggled so far during the regular season. He currently has a pathetic .182 batting average and only has one extra base through the first six games.

Donaldson took the fantasy world by storm last season by hitting 24 homers with a .301 batting average. This season, though, JD has been pretty rough. He has an .161 batting average to go along with a miserable .188 OBP through his first seven contests of the 2014 season. He hasn’t a home run either and has only racked up one RBI.

Braun’s 2013 season was cut short following a much-publicized PED suspension, but he still warranted a high draft pick this spring. In five games this season, though, the 2011 NL MVP has a meager .150 batting average. He hasn’t hit a single home run and actually hasn’t had any extra base hits. It has been a very rough start for the veteran.
