Time to give Jacob Junis a real shot to fill that vacancy in the starting rotation.

Officially, I'm starting to have my concerns.

My main concern was producing runs not giving them up.

We got a two pack going.

Once again, it the minor league guys putting most of the point on the board.

Manzardo looks good. Rocchio looks good. Naylor looks good. Kwan looks good. Thomas looks good. Ramirez will be Ramirez. Santana will start slow and probably warm up with the weather. RF will be about what we expected. 2B will be about we expected, which offensively won't be much different than what we got from Giminez.
i think Freeman will hit well playing various positions and in the lineup at least 1/2 of the time.
Compared to last season there will be fewer homers without John. But made up for in part by a full season of Thomas. Bo may hit more homers than last year.
Compared with last season it looks similar overall.

Pitching: Bibee and Williams will be a very good top two. Lively would be better as Number 4 or 5 but is acceptable as Number 3. Allen might be able to return to his results from 2023. Ortiz might improve after awhile in Columbus. Cantillo might improve after awhile in Columbus. McKenzie does not look like he'll be back in shape again. It wouldn't hurt to stretch out Judis but the bullpen is a bit thin too without Walters and Enright and Sabrowski and Alleman.
