re: DAT: 2023-2024 Off Season Thread

I'm very hopeful in a big bounce back year for Javier.

The WBC added so much early strain to his arm, that you've got to believe a full offseason of rest is going to bring him back to his 2022 form.

I would have the same feelings about Framber if he wasn't such a basket case too. But added rest cant hurt and maybe a new catcher behind the plate will help him stiffen up some since he won't have nanny Maldonado to make him feel better.

I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I thought JP France and HB both pitched better with Yainer at catcher. I know for a period there the stats were disproportionately in favor of Yainer, but that may have changed over the course of the full season.

Overall, cautiously optimistic for the starting staff.
