They are getting pitching back and just made a flurry of roster moves for some new energy/blood. They have Cole and Judge still and they will not be pushovers.
Guys like Varsho go out before the games in new parks and play pickle or throw the ball against the wall from all angles. The bounce could happen to anyone, but the throw can’t happen.
Both Espinal and Biggio are the opposite of our run prevention strategy and if you are going to sacrafice that you need big hitters to hedge the s*** D.
I have zero worries when Merrifield plays 2b. I have said that all season and last year. I get the warm and fuzzies. High baseball IQ and consistent.
Espinal 180 degree opposite. Biggio still does not give me anywhere near the confidence level of Merrifield at 2b
