I agree on the leadership. We're young at 3B, SS, 1B, and RF. I say SS because Urso isn't it, and behind him is a freshman.& that’s the problem. This is not a young team, but the veteran leadership is lacking. When I say veteran leadership I mean from that bench, as well.
The difference right now is Torres and Cuvet are struggling. Their averages are still above .300, but they were both over .400 a few weeks ago.
I'm not blaming them. There are guys that haven't done much all year. The difference is those two were driving in a lot of runs and now not so much. The midweek starter and relief pitching have struggled, but they've struggled all year.
This could be a good team next year, but it's going to take a lot of portal additions. Need a stud SS and all OF positions next year plus pitching. Carrier could be an every day outfielder, but he's a bit of a liability and better at DH. Give me athletes that can run.
I'm just going to try to enjoy watching the games, but it's hard when your team isn't winning.
