Yeah but a full season from Schwarber and Contreras plus a little growth from their youth had them around 28-30 in my eyes.
Regression from Dejong, Pham and Ozuna should be expected as well. Not a ton, but a little. I have them at 25 or so as presently constructed.
So there's still a pretty good gap there, IMO.
Nothing Manny Machado wouldn't fix...
