The back issues may be there to stay, but he's further removed from the kneecap injury (and any possible effects, mental or otherwise, that had on his swing), further removed from the abbreviated joke that was the 2020 season, and has a new group of hitting coaches in his ear. Let's watch things play out before turning him into a leadoff guy.

It's usually tough to see subtle differences in a hitters' mechanics, but it seems to me the leg kick is much less pronounced than in the past. It's an interesting dynamic since he's working with a new hitting coach(es). So far so good, but the season is a novel & he's on the second paragraph of page one.

If we spent the money necessary to acquire some of these guys, would we still be able to say we're ran "pretty damn well"? The ability of this organization to maintain, to make moves, etc IMO starts & ends with a deep farm system. We're once again building towards that. There's may someday be a time & place to make a "go for it" signing, but I think putting ourselves in position to be competitive, then swinging a deal at the trade deadline is what you'll see more often. And I'm fine with that.
