Are we operating within the realm of error such that even the 2008 dip in power is not statistically significant?

One – he injured his shoulder in early May and really hasn’t hit with much authority since. He’s hit a few off the wall, but hasn’t been able to pull anything. Secondly, people would rather pitch to Carlos Pena behind him right now because Pena is back to his crappy ways in Oakland/Detroit/Boston/New York. He is striking out with alarming regularity offering Upton little protection. Upton is not seeing a lot of good pitches.
