It’s on the big name guys to show up this year. Expand Their 1B and C are just old and YoYo is on a good year, bad year yoyo since he got called up. He's incredibly inconsistent if you're being generous. Edited May 25, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Grandal, Abreu, Pollock, and Moncada all have extensive track records of being very good players. It's fair to quibble with relying on old players on a team where you don't prioritize building depth, but it was impossible to foresee getting zero offensive production from all of those guys at the same time. Eloy could be lumped in there too, but at this point it's probably not realistic to count on him to hit *and* stay healthy over anything close to a full season.

Expand The only track record Moncada has is inconsistency and it's a bad bet to count on 35 year old players in Abreu and Pollock to keep it up forever. Grandal was good once, but it looks like he's Kirk Gibson ca. October 1988 at this point. His knees are shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
