I should point out that those are poor seasons by Kingman.
(San Francisco, 1972-1974; Mets, 1981-1982, Oakland 1985.)
He was capable of better:
.231/.284/.494 (OPS+ 118)
.238/.286/.506 (OPS+ 129)
.266/.336/.542 (OPS+ 132)
.288/.343/.613 (OPS+ 146)
.278/.329/.522 (OPS+ 128)
.268/.321/.505 (OPS+ 133)
Mets, 1975-1976; Cubs 1978-1980; Oakland, 1984
So while I was ragging on Pete last year for resembling 1976 Kingman, I still acknowledged those seasons as worthwhile. This one, not so much, IMO.
But it's still early. Lindor still has time for a few more 1-for-25 skids. (How do you have TWO slumps so bad, so early?)
