I wouldn't be surprised to see some regression from Naylor. His time with us last season was the best of his career. Also, teams will be wise to his unreal base running Voodoo.
the regression candidate is Cal isn't it? I've been meaning to bring it up, noticed he did himself the other day.
"I think the elephant in the room is 60 home runs. That's not something I'm setting out to do," Raleigh told Seattle Sports this week. "To me, I'm just trying to be as consistent as possible, trying to do what I did last year."
Sure but his still going to be a damn good player. Naylor had 37% of his career WAR last season for a guy that debuted in 2019. He could easily go back to the 1.5 win player he was in 2024.
Definitely a huge concern, and almost a given imo.

Naylor is a pretty average 1B. Which, is fine, if adding average to the lineup would put us over the top, but it won't.

I think in the end, all of Dipoto's budget-minded additions, Naylor, Donovan, and Refsnyder, will be disappointments. Because they always are.

I'm just speaking in terms of the homeruns. What's the expectation, 40 this season? That's fine but the offense is losing 20 homers
