I guess it's a symptom of the problem. I never thought those players had bad defensive capabilities, rather they just didn't care so much and enjoyed hot dogging it a bit more. I always thought they just needed a real leader to show them the way and that is what they are totally missing this year. I thought getting Ohtani would shame Vladdy into playing up to his capability but any team for which Vladdy is the leading talent, is destined for failure.
