Crashing Craig

Anything can happen in 100 AB. So normally, I would not be worried about Craig Biggio's slow start. He's 0-4 in the 7th, and he's lowered his batting average to .222. What's more worrying to me, though is, that he only has one walk. Biggio has been a very good hitter, and usually drew over 60 walks in a season. Most batters, as they lose their ability to get around on the ball, become more selective and draw more walks before pitchers realize they can't hit anymore. Maybe pitchers have realized this with Biggio. He's 37, and that's not an unusual age for this kind of decline.
