Not sure I would count Willy out just yet.. He started horribly and has started to improve over the last 2 weeks. I am not really interested and looking at the inputs, but I bet they are pretty close to last years with a few SSS noise issues. Check back in a month and see where he is at.
yeah, I defensive decline is a real concern.. I never really considered him an option since we all know AA..That was not a move he was going to make, so I didn't even bother looking at his defensive abilities.Average EV is on par. But his BABIP suggests he isn't getting too terribly, at only .25 under his career average.
It's probably a combination of some crappy luck plus moving to one of the most pitcher friendly parks in the league sapping his power. The decline is his defense in more concerning honestly. He's rated as one of the worst defenders in baseball thus far on the heels of 2024 season that also saw his defensive metrics decline considerably.
