His purported defense prowess has to be one of the biggest misinformation campaigns in MLB history. Despite speed, athleticism etc he seems to have no concept or instincts for defensive jumps positioning or route running . It’s like watching a track star trying to convert into a NFL wide receiver or Usain Bolt trying to be a soccer player as a second career only Jo has supposedly been playing the game since early childhood .
Also is it me or does he look slower than he should be running down the line? That GIDP shouldn’t have been completed.Shohei looks like he would smoke him in a foot race
The lack of intangibles – such as instinct – is glaring. To get over that requires hard work and repetition. Hopefully he will do that in the minors this season.
Adell is a soup sandwich. I think we are all hoping he can turn it around and be anything close to all the hype he was led up to potentially be. He’s still a prospect. My vitriol tends to be towards the overpaid, underperformers
Went back and read his high school bio, scouting reports, Baseball America…etc. He was a CF before turning pro and CF coming up through the Angels farm. Scouting reports said he had strong D. So what gives? Must be suffering from the yips and confidence level is gone. Not giving up on him, play him where he is comfortable and give him time. We have no other choice . Tough to watch…
I guess my suggestion of a position change went down the clubhouse toilet. This is embarrassing. I never saw him in the minors but you cannot get to top prospect status with performances like he has displayed in the majors. Get him off the field and send him over to the practice facility.
Carlos Carrasco out for a couple of months for the Mets. In a way it’s good that we sign question marks like Quintana (who I think will be good) and Cobb (who I’m a bit doubtful of) because if they get arm injuries it’s not a much of a blow. But lordy, I hope they don’t!
Love Dylan Bundy today. He is a pitcher working the zone.
Ughhhhhhhhh
Jo really had another defensive blunder? Jesus.
Welcome back Mia. Some stories are as old as time 😉

😳
Well, Jo’s bat looks good at least. Slugging .632 this spring
Let’s hope he can improve his D like he has improved at the plate. If so, he has potential for a late season call up or 2022.

It’s up to him…..
Obligatory
Remember him on Cleveland? Is it just age that makes performance dip so incredibly in a short amount of time??
Adell maybe should go to AA. His D is a huge issue.

Hard to argue against this cowboy. Sportscenter NOT top 10 friday continues for adell

Whew glad he just had that at bat.

It is tough to watch. Thanks for the updates on past commentary about him. Here’s to him figuring ‘it’ out sooner than later!
And again… ughhhhhhh
Adell, what the hell man, like yeah, it wasn’t an error, but why are you falling down?

Why CF? Dude has issues with a corner spot, why have him in CF?
Didn’t he play center coming up through high school and the rookie leagues? We know he cannot play right.
THREE RUN JIMMY JACK!
Lets hope he agrees to an assignment to SLC
He should 4th OF and Fowler to SLC to mentor Adell and Marsh
Rojas needs to unhook that trailer
Bundy might be for real
Old news is still good news
This site will provide more entertainment than this lineup today. Not a bad thing
:/

Yay?
Lots of battling here, I do wonder how long they will keep guys like Adell, Lagares, and Rojas in.
