What other miscellaneous thoughts do you have about what you are expecting this season? I think Taveras' new approach will wear fans out much the same as Gallo's did. I am very concerned that Semien will have another down year. Jake Burger is going to be really loved by fans.
I am with you on Semian. Starting to have concerns with him leading off.
I am not sure he will bat much higher than the 237 he posted last year
