If it makes you feel better, Yuli last year didn't hit a HR in April, sucked and got b****ed about the entire year, and then was brilliant in the postseason.

Stros doing Stros things. Champion things. Beat good competition (Pirates, Toronto, Braves). We beat playoff teams last season too overall moreso than any team Complacently happens for ballers... whether it happens early season, mid season, or late regular season. When the playoffs begin (knock on wood for the jinx), we have the advantage over every team With Brantley, Altuve, and Troy McClure on deck.. chances are we'll get even better this season and continue our historic dominance Stay tuned......
Supposedly, he's a slow-starter similar to Bregman The issue is last season though, he imploded like a coochie-less wh*re 2nd half of the season Fatigue due to age seems prevalent because he's older He needs a scheduled 40 games of DH/DNP Thus far, he's played every game and only DH'd once
I just want to hand it to the Rays. You could make an argument that are 1a/1b/1c with the Astros/Braves in regards to Organizational development. The absolute crap thing is that the city doesn't deserve them. Horrible attendance. Build them a stadium on the outskirts of San Antonio towards Austin. They would sell out all the time.
Being pedantic, but I'd probably put them ahead of the Astros and Braves and on par with the Dodgers. Astros and Braves are both good at farm development and occasionally pluck a stud out of the pack of obscure ML players, but both TB and LAD do that latter on a regular basis on top of great farm development. I'm a baseball mega fan and the number of times I mutter "who the f* is that guy" with the dodgers and rays is far too often.
