Am I selling Marisnick's offense short?

I rather think he is settling in.  Should be an interesting line up when Fowler returns.

I hope Carter doesn't change his diet anytime soon.

I really look forward to a Springer/Fowler/Marisnick outfield, too.

I'm not sure what is more impressive: Carter's easy power or Altuve's ability to square it up at a rate you rarely see from a hitter.  I can't think of any hitter with a greater ratio of squared up balls to swings, and he swings at damn near everything. Amazing.

I think the common opinion of Miami's entering spring training was that he would be the everyday center fielder over Ozuna due to his offense and defense, so at least some baseball people have been optimistic about his bat.

No one's really noted that Schreefer landed in Minneapolis.  Probably a better place for him than Denver.

Meanwhile in Miami, Cosart defeats Wainwright and the Cards going 7/3/0/0/1/3.

Wainright's pitching like someone injured.

He's definitely injured one of my fantasy teams.
