There is a lot of truth in this statement:
"Blame left field on Moises Alou's injury, but blame the rest on lousy roster construction. Delgado, Green, Lo Duca and Valentin are all well over 30, which puts them at greater risk for decline. Should Minaya and Randolph have expected such big year-to-year drop-offs for Delgado, Lo Duca and Valentin, not to mention Carlos Beltran? Maybe not for all of them, but the odds were heavily against an across-the-board repeat of last season's third-ranked offensive powerhouse."
