Ryan Raburn went 0-for-3 on Wednesday, lowering his batting line to an inconceivable .130/.200/.169. The good news is that Raburn's batting average is dropping by fewer points each day. But that's like saying the Twins' playoff hopes keep diminishing in smaller increments. The fact is, Raburn is off to a legendarily poor start, and has looked even worse in May, during which he is 2-for-23 (.087) with one walk and 11 strikeouts.
