Through 27 games, Michael Young is batting .198/.218/.319. Has he ever done worse over a similar span?

Yes and no. Between June 26 and July 27 of 2002, Young batted .198/.218/.264. (Not a typo; the average and OBP are identical.)

But since 2003, when Michael Young became MICHAEL YOUNG, he’d never batted worse than .227/.267/.309 (August 5 – September 2, 2004). So, relative to expectations, the first 27 games of the 2007 season represent the worst batting of his career.
