Even at a top-heavy position, Jesus Aguilar entered 2019 threatening to join the elite tier of first basemen. The 28-year-old bashed 35 homers last year and drove in 108 runs as the Brewers edged the Cubs for the NL Central crown. So why does Aguilar lead this week’s Droppables nearly a month into the season? A quick glance at his statistical profile provides an easy answer.
Aguilar has gotten off to an abysmal start this season, slashing .134/.234/.164. He has yet to leave the yard in 79 plate appearances, one of just nine players to do so with at least 75 trips to the plate.
