The new season is a week old and gosh, there’s a lot of noise out there. It’s difficult to know what’s meaningful and what is, well, noise. DJ LeMahieu is 6-for-12 (.500) at the plate right now. When LeMahieu does that later this year, in June or July, we won’t think twice about it. When it happens at the start of the season, omg what a great signing!
It’s easy to get carried away in the early days of a new season but much of what we’ve seen is lies. It’s just the usual randomness of baseball. One of the few things we do know for certain right now is Chad Green is still trying to develop a pitch to play off his fastball.
