Jesus, this team is so bad defensively. Year in and year out. And Bourn/Cabrera and Swisher at the top of the order is not okay.
Overall, I'm not concerned about the season yet. But, a Lindor promotion for defensive purposes and a lineup shakeup are so necessary. I fully expect Carrasco to pitch his way out of the rotation tomorrow, so get Bauer up here permanently, too.
It is entirely possible that both Bourn and Swisher were primed for hard declines due to age from the gate. Swisher, a forever consistent hitter, wasn't, and Bourn, whose value stems almost entirely on his speed, lost some (and they both dealt with relevant injuries to their skill sets). Both appear even worse in year two.
