Get off my lawn!
I am a bit worried about Oz as well. But he seems like a tinkerer.. I wonder if he is thinking pulling is a better approach with the elimination of the shift.. making more of it than he should since he is not a power guy. That said, my biggest worry is his inability to not swing at balls. I doubt he becomes unplayable.. it just might be a few rough stretches while he finds his grove again.

Ozzie's calling card in the minors seemed to be elite contact ability-man that would stink if its already gone but if he's in that bad of position at jump its entirely possible.

His contact rates appear to be intact. It's the quality of that contact that suffered. I'm obviously not qualified to play swing doctor, but he looked like a disaster last year.
Of course, all of 2022 was a small sample for him, so it may be foolish to read too much into what he did last year. It's just the thing that worries me most for 2023, and will be something I'm eager to see play out.

Even the Dodgers depth has been tested the last two years… and this year on the IF

I'm confused on what the braves are doing. Started Rosario vs the lhp Sunday, and today vs the rhp, they're starting pillar. I want Rosario seeing rhp

yeah, I also don't think anyone cares about handedness this early on.. just getting guys some reps and probably the first 2 weeks prior to WBC was already mapped out who plays/pitches and for how long. opposition and stituations don't matter other than pitch count or injury.

Is this the tread we say how we won’t miss Dans.
