This has been my issue for a very long time: Hyping players who have never repeated performance year over year, which is the result of salesmen who pitch distraction as big contracts are proffered. We do not have a home run hitter on our team. Anthony looked like a contact doubles guy (sort of like a Boggs) but this year is being pushed to try to hit homers (that doesn't work). He had one big homer last year and everyone hyped as the next coming Ruth and Williams. Focus on contact first.
I look at Mayer and his size and think he should be playing 3rd base, not 2nd. Like Anthony, he needs to be focused on contact and the best way is in the minors.
Rafaela may have outfield speed, but base stealing and bunting doesn't seem to be his thing. Pitching staffs have adjusted to him. Work on contact.
Again, I don't understand these Breslow contracts to the unproven.
