Offensive Disappointments

Dan Connolly asked yesterday "which Orioles hitter has disappointed you most?"  He lists lots of candidates: Luke Scott, Garrett Atkins, Nolan Reimold, Adam Jones, Cesar Izturis, and... Nick Markakis.  And one person picked Markakis!  How is this possible?  Markakis is currently hitting .312/.411/.486, numbers which are a career high in batting average, on-base percentage and just .005 shy of a career high in slugging percentage.  He has 11 doubles, good for third in the American League.  If you are disappointed in Markakis, it is because he only has 9 RBI.  But it's kind of hard to get any RBI when you're hitting behind a lead-off batter posting a .242 on-base percentage.  Which, of course, means that Adam Jones and his 3 walks in 128 plate appearances is the easy answer for most disappointing hitter.
