When Jurickson Profar led Monday's game against the Brewers with a homer, it was a very welcome sight for Atlanta Braves fans. While the Braves did not win the game, Profar's performance out of the leadoff spot overall was what everyone was hoping for when Atlanta signed him last offseason. Unfortunately, that performance has been the exception to the rule in Profar's first season with the Braves.
The obvious disappointment with Profar that first comes to mind is his suspension for PEDs and that is completely fair. While Profar has professed ignorance to how he could have gotten any banned substance into his system and denied doing so knowingly, a certain amount of skepticism should come from anyone that is looking to prolong their career and got caught red-handed.
