The DJ drop off was the biggest, and most disappointing, to me. He's been such an incredible player, you just grow to expect it. Gio's season last year seems like a pretty clear outlier. Gleybor is still young so we'll have to see how he continues to get better. Stanton and Judge were phenomenal. If you told me their numbers and games played I would have been extremely confident we made a postseason run. Rizzo was a great addition mid-season.

As for Odor, Gallo, Sanchez... Not enough contact. Gardner filled in admirably this year as well, but he is who is he. Voit being out for so long was unfortunate as well. Wade is a good infield fill-in. Hicks is one of the more polarizing players I have ever seen, personally, and that is when he is even playing. Velasquez had some nice feel good moments.

As for pitching... I don't know. Blew quite a few late game leads. All teams do especially teams that are winning a lot, but when you finish tied for a Wildcard spot and lose home field because of it, it shows how important each of those games are despite the season having 162. Cole was disappointing the second half this year relative to expectations, and that was exacerbated by the Fenway outcomes especially to end the year. Kluber had some good moments surrounding injury. Cortes had some nice moments too. Rest of starting rotation very meh. I like Holmes out of the bullpen. Chad Green had an exceptionally up and down year, or so it felt to me (maybe I'm wrong).

I loved that winning streak we got on. Adding in the stolen bases, some "small ball", the high energy. That was great.
