Probably says that the pitcher missed location more than anything else.

They’ll win 85-90 games, I’m sure, which is apparently exactly what the FO wanted because they made no real attempt to improve that total.

Lateral Quicks wrote:Honestly, Atkins deserves to be fired just for inflicting this Varsho/IKF/KK bottom of the order on us. A serious team would have one player of that offensive ineptitude in the regular lineup. We have three. Honestly, why even sign IKF and KK when you have options in house? I'd have sooner stuck with Espinal than IFK FFS.

Not a damn chance. The wheels will fall off this team by June. Count on it. A team that is featuring Falafel, Varsho, Biggio, KK as 4 of the 9 hitters will not score much. Add to it the fact that the pitching has to basically be perfect in every game for us to have a chance at Ws, the wheels will fall off sooner than later.

Would be nice if we have hitters who can capitalize on that.

You are the ultimate optimist if you think this team can win 90 Games. But then again, you are the same guy who called Kirk a Top 5 to Top 10 Catcher in MLB. You have called Varsho who has an impressive .138 Batting Average right now, as one of the most valuable outfielders in all of MLB.
I guess time will tell if this team can win 85 to 90 games, but odds are they are more likely to finish dead last in the AL East and below .500. No team serious of winning 90 Games, should be throwing out IKF, Varsho, KK, and Biggio on a regular basis who are basically 4 free outs in the lineup from 5 to 9 in the batting lineup.

No, I just don’t think it takes a particularly good team to win 90 games anymore in this league. A good third of the teams are awful.

He's the only good hitter in the team. Every one else is a combination of mediocre (Vladdy), bad (Springer, Turner, Kirk, Schneider, Clement), terrible (Biggio) and my-dead-grandma-can-hit-better-than-these-clowns (KK, IKF, Varsho).
