It has been a real tough go of things the past few weeks for Albert Almora Jr. and Addison Russell at the plate. Joe Maddon has shifted the lineup around a lot lately, Almora has been put in several different spots with Russell batting behind the pitcher. Not much luck changing anything yet.
What can be made of these struggles? They can be looked at through both similar and different lenses. Almora and Russell are both still young players, though Russell has been around a bit longer and has been an everyday player since coming up in 2015.
