O’s finally have their depth back. 1-9 you have league average or better hitters. They can now platoon the likes of O’Hearn, Kjerstad, Holliday. Defense is much more athletic.
This is going to be a 90 win team. Going into the season, the over/under was right around 90 wins if I recall.
No Bradish, Means, Wells, Bautista. Rodriguez out for the playoffs. Lengthy injuries to Westburg, Urias, Mateo, Mountcastle. Underperforming Adley and zero production out of any of their hyped up young prospects.
We might not get the long playoff run that we are hoping for, but this is still solidly a playoff team while others like the Rangers are not and the Braves may not be.
The one last thing I’d like to see here is Adley getting a whole lot of rest this week.
