This ain’t how it works anymore. The game ain’t about baserunning and defense aka small ball. I don’t care how good he is with a glove, if he hits like Ender, it’s a problem. He had a bad fall and bad spring, it’s very troubling. These problems usually don’t iron out once he starts facing god mode pitchingEven if Pache is an 80 wRC+ guy his defense and baserunning will still make him valuable. The key is going to be is how real was Bear’s 2020 and Ozzie/Dans being consistent for a whole year. Whatever Pache adds on offense is a bonus

It’s not as big a deal if Dansby, Ozzie, TDA, and Bear all have career years and Freddie plays MVP ball. But I’m willing to be that’s not always gonna be the case. We need plate production and premier positions aka center and third.
