#1 Crochet has been huge. Even though a few of his outings were not complimented with enough offense to get a W he's gone to work and made it a possibility.
What's really cool is the newbies that have stepped it up and delivered after Bregman, Casas went down. Toro, Gonzales, and Narvaez have made a huge impact on a team that lost some major components early. A year that started out with these additions, that I really hadn't heard much about, and the positive contributions they've all delivered............ a shout out to Breslow for picking these guys up and unloading the whiner.
And how can you not respect the year, so far, that Story has put together? Finally healthy and confident, he's been clutch the past couple of months.
The rookies have been phenomenal. Big step into " The Show " and for the most part they've been terrific. Hopefully the ASB will give them some time to rest up and make the second half a continuation of the past two weeks.
