Julio strikes out a ton. This year last year and rookie year. I have a feeling he is gonna set a strikeout record. Just seems every out now of his is a strikeout. He has gotta start laying off the bad pitches. Cantzone is learning a bit. Swinging more at strikes. If he can get better then Julio should have no issue but this needs to end.
His K-Rates for 2022, 2023, and the 2024 season so far:
2022: 25.9%
2023: 24.5%
2024: 32.7%
Obviously 2024 is very small sample size. All the same, I wouldn't be surprised, at the end of the season, to see that it had ticked up slightly. But he isn't going to hit like shit for the whole season. He's the same guy. Maybe the league has adjusted to him a little bit, figured out a few things. But he'll adjust back at some point.
But I do suspect this season might be a relative struggle for Julio, and maybe that will be a good thing in the long run, force him to take a serious look at how he can get better.

Jose Caballero has more stolen bases than our entire team.
He also has a higher OPS than anyone on our team.

Wait, What? So jacking guys around with Platoons isn't the best way to maximize their potential???
He is on pace for almost a 10 WAR season. lol

And I was convinced Luke Raley was good. He has an OPS+ of 3.

The Rays got a full-time 2B. We got a bench OF/1B. Great trade!

He's playing shortstop isn't he. We stole him because the Rays were desperate for a wander Franco replacement, oh brother lol

I think it’s safe to say that Jose Caballero has taken Wander Franco’s job at starting shortstop.
