Individual Over/Underperforming expectation

[liveforoctober]

We are about a week away from being 1/4 done with the season. That would normally be a much better time for this thread but it's an off day and getting both Chourio and Vaughn back together feels like a pretty substantial before/after moment for the team.

I was eyeing up the roster and getting a gut reaction on whether or not guys have been better or worse than we expected and, given the temperature of the team, I was actually surprised how many guys I have pegged as "as good or better" more than what I was expecting. I think the heaviness of the left side of our infield + Sal and our 4th outfielder disaster + 2 bullpen arms have created a cloud for me that doesn't seem to be accurate? I'd be interested to see how you all place these names.

Performing at or above expectations

Harrison, Miz, Patrick, Woodruff*, Ashby, Hall, Uribe, Woodford, Anderson, Turang, Contreras, Lockridge, Bauers, Sanchez, Yelich*

Underperforming expectations

Sproat, Drohan?, Megill, Rengifo, Ortiz, Hamilton?, Frelick, OF bench depth (Matos/Perkins/Jones), Zerpa

Not enough time to put in any category but good depth pieces thus far

Henderson, Black, Fitzpatrick+

I don't know

Mitchell

I like you and the team likes you so you are in no trouble but stop doing weird things during games

Murphy

The reason for optimism is I don't think we have too many guys at all who are wildly outperforming expectations. Probably Harrison. Maybe Anderson and Hall? Perhaps Lockridge? But the others very much have a "that seems about right" sense to them. Meanwhile, getting Chourio and Vaughn back - coupled with any return to normalcy for Frelick and Rengifo + whoever hits 9th should make our offense so much more consistent.

Knock of wood the injury bug goes somewhere else for awhile ... but we look to have weathered the storm for the moment and are in a good position to win a few months of baseball. Would be interested to see how you all lay out the roster thus far.
