This does appear to be an issue of complacency. The attitude of "we know we are so good that we don't even have to try" is becoming apparent - at the club level anyway - up and down the bench is a different story.
Even with Boesche's two run homer yesterday - I still say he has the toughest job in the American League - who else is up right before 2 consecutive potential AL hitting champs (supposed to be anyways) - Boesch is seeing the toughest pitches every at bat - he's the guy in the line they see as the guy they have to get out.
He does remind me of a young Kaline

That explains his .230 average.
