From Shawn McFarland:

According to MLB.com’s Mike Petriello, the only defending World Series champions to give two rookies aged 22 or younger 350 or more plate appearances in the regular season were the 1998 Florida Marlins. In fact, he wrote, only eight teams with a winning record the year before have ever done that. FanGraphs projects Langford to get 602 this season and Carter 596.

Marlins really should not count because it seems like they gutted their team

Lorenzon is a legit depth move for SP and indirectly for our pen.
Likely seeing Heaney go to the pen late summer like last year. The other thing I like is we never had to trade our top prospects that were rumored in the Cease trade

Cease trade was shaping up to be a massive rip off.

duran, leiter, and porter? Seriously?

They definitely did gut that team.

A lot of athleticism but never could adapt to the point where he made consistent contact.

He

just couldn’t and didn’t want to adjust.

Welcome to the Rangers, Wyatt Langford!

It will be fun watching him begin what is likely to be a Hall of Fame career.
