I don't see our offense making a turn around

I'm not talking about the Jays series. Obviously guys are going to start hitting. I'm talking about from last year. Our offense was pathetic compared to what it was supposed to be
Josh has been mediocre at best since the home run derby, Davis doesn't belong in the majors, Teagarden can't hit period(at least he catches...), our 2B options until Kinsler's healthy won't hit the mendoza line, and even then Kinsler has a lot to prove. Borbon i'm confident will prove to be pretty good, but that leaves a total of 4 regulars that are going to carry any sort of offensive weight--Cruz, Vlad, Young, and Borbon. Even then, none of those guys are great OBP guys, and that is why our offense is so hit or miss.
At least Smoak will replace Davis, but what are we going to do about Josh? I really can't seem him getting back to even a .350 OBP this year. He's got too much talent to give up on, but if he doesn't start hitting soon, it's going to have been almost a season and a half since he was worth anhything.
