How quickly people forget....
Yet, we forget that 2016 roster may have had a terrible BA but finished in the top 10 in many other batting categories (7th in OPS). That lineup looks worse because they just didn't play Naquin and Jose those first few games and Chisenhall was on IR.
Now, if Bradley and Miller can come up by end of April and have Rookie of the Year type seasons (to match the shot in the arm that Jose and Naquin gave that 2016 lineup) ... we may actually have a shot this season (but not counting on it) -- as I am not counting on Bauers or Chang to be the next Jose breakout.
