Over at The Hardball Times there's a story by Chris Lund describing just how historically awful Jeff Mathis has been and proposing that we need to replace "The Mendoza Line" with "The Mathis Line". He also goes in to mention some of the players this season who have fallen below the Mathis Line, like Vernon Wells, Alex Rios, Adam Dunn, Justin Smoak and Miguel Olivo. He also mentions the pitchers that have historically been better at the plate than Mathis.
