Everything else has been ugly. The way these guys are looking, they're going to struggle to score runs all season. Abreu, Grandal and Moncada might be toast.

reiks12 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 After that first inning this offense just shat the bed, so frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandal is who he is. .240, .360 Moncada does make me a tad nervous (one good year) Abreu should be fine. He won’t be MVP caliber but still a reliable run producer. The thing that should make everyone nervous about Grandal is he’s usually a strong starter and fades down the stretch. I knew it was going to be ugly for him at the start when he said he wasn’t focusing on offense to start the season.

Abreu is an older slugger and sometimes those guys just lose it for no apparent reason. Edited April 15, 2021 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s a possible MVP candidate like he seemed after 2019, but he should be a 3 WAR or better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An analyst I was listening too was talking about how a player like Moncada focusing on music in the offseason shows where his mind is and downgraded him in his rankings. I kind of agree with that. If you look at a guy like Pete Alonso, he got big, did all these commercials and somewhat sucked in 2020, but came in this season extremely focused, turned down some offers, and is looking a bit better.
