Bruce vs. McCutchen -- Ouch

From Nate Silver's BP chat today:

Jay Bruce and Andrew McCutchen, how close are they?

Nate Silver: We probably shouldn't be bundling those two together any more. Bruce is like the $300 hotel you stay at, and McCutchen is like the free USA Today that's waiting outside your doorstep.

I think he's too harsh, but McCutchen had a pretty bad Double-A season last year. And he didn't do much for me at the Arizona Fall League. Let's hope I'm not a good scout.

Don't worry.
Silver isn't a good scout.

True
But he's pretty good with statistics.

Also true...
...but this wasn't an argument based on stats, so it's not in his area of expertise, and therefore not worth much.

Between....
Silver and KLaw the Bucs are not just the dregs of MLB, they are the redheaded stepchild that gets kicked every time he passes by.  It is almost comical at this point.

have we given them any reason not to?
if we're sick of it there's only one solution - win some freaking games already.
