I'm concerned about our offense for 3 reasons:
1) The horrible finish to 2024 - averaging about 3 runs a game for the last 6 weeks. Some of that was Devers being hurt, obviously, but it could have been more - maybe pitchers had figured out how to attack our weaknesses.
2) Losing O'Neill, our third best hitter in 2024, and replacing him with J. Diddlesquat.
3) How did Devers's inflamed shoulders heal?
As I've been saying the big hope is the kids, and it sure looks like they're going to count on them.
