Cain’s thumb could hold him back all year. Hope not, but he concerns me more than any player. All year all I’ve heard is how horrible the pitching is, and it hasn’t been good overall, horrible in April, good in May, bad in June, good again the last week, so trending up again, and Stearns can improve with a pen arm or two. But this offense scares me. Cain > ugh. Braun too streaky. Hiura > Rookie. Arcia > bad again. Pina < .150. Massive Ks, can’t/don’t move runners. They have to hit multiple homers per game to score. Even if they get to the playoffs, The better pitching will shut down our power even more. Stearns has to know this, so I’m confident he’ll improve this offense over the next month.
