I'm not sure when it happened, but Clay Davenport has started updating his "Current Equivalent Averages" page. Javy Lopez of the Orioles is leading the AL with a 0.431 EqA, while Android Bonds is leading the NL with a 0.577 EqA!

The Blue Jays EqA's really show how badly the Jays bats are slumping:

	PA	2004EqA	2003EqA	Diff
Clark	1	.000	.284	-.284
Berg	6	.000	.232	-.232
Hermsen	7	.000	.132	-.132
Delgado	60	.213	.337	-.124
Hudson	53	.177	.250	-.073
Woody	37	.184	.246	-.062
Wells	63	.242	.302	-.060
Johnson	62	.217	.270	-.053
Hinske	58	.214	.266	-.052
Crash	16	.246	.293	-.047
Cat	53	.244	.279	-.035
Phelps	59	.262	.281	-.019
Pond	3	.000	.000	.000
Gomez	11	.323	.220	.103
Cash	42	.293	.096	.197
WeAvg	531	.223	.262	-.039

Where WeAvg = Weighted Average.

So the Jays as a team have a .223 EqA in 531 plate appearances. Last season Royce Clayton had a .227 EqA in 543 plate appearances. So it's not pollyannish to think the Jays are going to start hitting a whole lot better in the very near future.
