July 13, 200719 yr Marlins at 21 The good news is that the offense has been one of the league's most productive, with Hanley Ramirez leading the league in VORP and Miguel Cabrera a hefty fourth. The bad news is that the rotation has been the league's least productive, and that includes both the the refugee camp passing for the Nationals' starting five and the parade of relievers carrying the banner for the defending champs in St. Louis. That Sergio Mitre is not only the team's top starter but the only one better than league average suggests that Josh Johnson isn't the only one suffering from a Joe Girardi hangover, though the team's 13-point drop in Defensive Efficiency isn't helping either. Nothing new, just more stuff
