I think the current answer to the RISP probelm is (unfortunately): Vinnie. You mentioned that regression was inevitable, but I don't think that Vinnie will hit at a .200 clip for the rest of the year. I also don't think the "running on contact" thing has worked out so well (so far) either, because I can't remember this many guys getting thrown out (on ground balls) trying to go home from third.
Agreed, Pasquantino (and others) are naturally going to perform better the rest of the year. I guess my interest in this was "why" they're struggling, and I was surprised to not find a readymade answer.
