Henderson, Santander, Mullins

[DocJJ]

Need to start getting some hits....!!!  

I'm not sure what Grayson's trouble is....  he's showed much better command and control in the past than he has this spring....

All 3 players will be fine. Gunnar has shown that he'll scuffle for a couple weeks, but still draw walks. Then he'll start producing. Santander is just a streaky player. When he gets hot, he'll be scorching hot. And I think Mullins will produce a season somewhere in between 2021 and 2022, but much closer to 2022. Which will be a valuable contribution to a playoff team.

Henderson has 9 walks and a .325 OBP, he is going to be fine.

Santander is brutal to watch right now. Patience is running thin.

I have little doubt he'll turn things around. But he should be dropped in the order until he does.

They’ll be fine. In 10 days Mullins, Santander and Henderson will be “hot” and Mountcastle and Hays will be “cold”

Yeah, it’s a long year and everyone will have ups and downs.

I'm sure you're right, but for now I retract all the negativity I was throwing at Hays and Mountcastle all offseason. (I also wasn't gushing over Mullins, Santander or Henderson). While we're at it I may as well predict now how they'll all shake out by season's end: Mountcastle, Santander, Henderson, Hays, Mullins.

Julio Rodríguez hit .206 last April.  Adley hit .180 in May.  Gunnar will adjust.  Mullins started out well. Santander has had lots of quality at-bats.

Funny, many of us thought the same about Austin Hays just three days ago....

Adley will still be getting on base at a .490 clip, though, right?

Come on dude.  It's been 11 games. Should the O's trade him for a bag of balls?

He should improve some, maybe .535 for the season and get second in MVP.

That trio will carry the team for a stretch at some point this season just like Hays, Mountcastle, and Rutschman are doing it now. I wouldn't worry too much about them, they all have a track record (except I suppose for Gunnar, but he's also demonstrated what he's capable of).

They'll settle in and find their groove soon enough, I'm sure.

The guy swings at everything and is a giant hole in the middle of the lineup right now. No one is saying he'll continue at this horrible pace. Just saying it's difficult to watch RIGHT NOW. Calm down.
