I don’t want y’all to get the wrong idea with this type of post. For starters, it’s been a down year for nearly the entire offense. You can go down the lineup on any given day and you’ll be hard-pressed to find any player who has been performing at their usual level. It’s been a rough, rough season for everybody involved and I’m not trying to pick on or single out one player in particular.
It’s especially been rough for Jurickson Profar. The Atlanta Braves brought him into town as their crown jewel of the offseason at three years and $42 million. The “good news” about that is that you can lop off half of what he was supposed to make this season but that’s only because it only took a handful of games for it to be revealed that he had tested positive for using a performance-enhancing drug.
