I think this: Garcia is not as bad as he's looked. Narvaez is not as bad as he's looked. Sogard has been pretty much exactly what we thought. In a normal year, we'd be halfway through April. Maybe 162 is no different than 60, but the condensed schedule means judgments happen more quickly. Look, I'm not trying to be an apologist for this lineup. It looks really, really bad. And CC has made weird choices. But what are we really quibbling with re: Stearns? Are folks really saying we know enough to say Garcia and Narvaez are terrible? I mean, Smoak and LoMo, they were cast offs and crappy, and we were hoping they'd be hot. They're not. But that's like one scrap-heap signing we're complaining about. It's a different conversation if folks think Garcia and Narvaez are going to be bad bad for a while. Then I think we just disagree, and that's okay. For me, jury's out on those two guys, and I won't burn Stearns at this point (yet).
