Arezorena performed well both offensively and defensively during his brief stay in the major leagues this season. That after a breakout year at Memphis.

The problem, however is that young inexperienced players very often but not always tend to try to do too much, particularly in high stress situations. In doing so they often have difficulty.

Rather than an outlier this is probably a breakout year for him. Players who improve as they move up the system are usually legitimate prospects.

Should be quite a spring training with Bader, Thomas, O’Neill, Arozarena and Carlson and even Garcia vying for one or two starting outfield positions. Of course one or more of them could go in trades before then.

It would be a big gamble to start Arozarena in the playoffs, particularly in game one.
