    Our defense still sucks.

    There- back on topic.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Hoping the new names on the right side can at least bring some average D to the infield...

    That is a reasonable hope, and Rafaela has looked better on D than just about anyone else but Story.

    Duran seems to be still looking better that pre2023. I thought Abreu was okay, but he has looked better than okay, after “kicking the ball around RF” way back when. O’Neal has been fine. Wong and McGuire look better than 2022-2023, but we still look bad.

    @JustinMLB
    Jarren Duran is one of three outfielders in baseball with a wRC+ of over 100 AND a DRS of 7+

    Wow! It makes me doubt DRS.

    A little. But I think I was justified since he has given me a few reasons to worry over the past few seasons.

    Well he didn't do any damage. It's been one game so far...

    DRS is wacky over a small sample, FYI.

    Yes, as is UZR, but it does claim he’s been great for a month.

    I'll admit that he's lightyears beyond what we saw in 2022, even considering the one ball he completely embarrassed himself on this year. I have no worries about him in LF.

    I don’t either. I think he is now a plus in LF and maybe a zero inCF.

    "Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.
