Every year you hear someone talk about the Mendoza line. Typically it's brought up when a miserable picher is up or when a backup catcher is up. Rarely is it ever mentioned for a player who has made multiple all star games and is close to the 300 hundred home run mark. Well this year we are in luck, as of August 6th Richie Sexson's batting average sits at .196. Could he represent ineptitude this season? It's certainly something I will have my eye on the final two months of the season.
"I've assured Richie when he gets going again, he'll be back in there full time." Mariners manager John McLaren
John you mean you will let Richie Play if he starts hitting above the Mendoza line.
