Edgar finished with a .188 average.  I think his potential is just a tad 
higher than that.  :^)
People shouldn't be surprised.  It seems to happen about every year.  Some 
"great hitting" team gets to the playoffs or World Series and is shut down by 
"great pitching."  It happened in '95 when the Braves completely shut down 
the Indians' vaunted attack.  It happened in '88 when the Dodgers shut down 
and upset the A's lineup.
Of course, you still have mediots like Joe Morgan proclaim, "Good pitching 
cannot shut down /great/ hitting."
