Remember the 2021 offense? This one is better 1 thru 3 (Straw, Kwan, Ramirez) IF Kwan is legit. But 4 thru 9 and the bench? At best that bunch is about the same. They can hit back of the rotation starters and weaker bullpens but will struggle against front line pitching. Like this weekend they’re going to score a bunch once and a while and play close most other games (because their pitching should be good enough to slow most other offenses).
Lose 97 games like NFBuck predicts? I’m more optimistic than that. I’m guessing 80 to 84 wins.
Kwan at minimum from what Hes shown in the minors before and these first couple of games at least has a sense of plate discipline. That’s more than could be said for most last year.
