It's just hard to comprehend how bad hitters are in today's game. Or maybe it's just due to the pitching. Either way, the MLB average for batting is an anemic .232. We probably have higher expectations for hitters but it just isn't reality these days and expectations probably need to be adjusted accordingly. That being said, I had zero faith in the Garcia signing last year as I think he just lives off his 2017 season. Not worth that kind of money. And I really didn't like the JBJ signing. He never has hit for average outside of the shortened 2020 season and never will. He definitely is doing about what I expected. Signing him instead of just releasing Taylor never made no sense to me as long as the assumption was that Cain was coming back this year which he did. Spending money on Wong made great sense because he is an underrated offensive player at his position, plays great defense and allowed a worthless fielder to move to another position where he could also be worthless defensively but at a less important position.
