WAS traded a minor-league catcher to OAK for veteran Kurt Suzuki (C, WAS) to bolster a catching corps decimated by injury. Suzuki is having the least productive season of his career, batting .218 with a .530 OPS. His 0.17 Eye suggests his once-solid plate skills have collapsed, while his .211 xBA says his lowly BA is merited. Suzuki entered 2012 off three straight seasons with 13-15 HR, but with a 57 PX and only one HR in 262 AB, his power has ebbed.

Lucas Duda (OF, NYM), who had collected just nine hits along with 23 strikeouts in his last 65 at-bats, was sent down to Triple-A Buffalo. After putting up a solid 134 PX and 81% contact rate last season, Duda's production has dropped significantly thus far in 2012. Duda's PX has dipped to 104, and his contact rate has fallen to 69%, leading to his .241 batting average. He has particularly struggled against left-handed pitching, as he has hit just .225/.275/.324 in 111 at-bats.
