PHOENIX — The San Diego Padres expect at some point to get significant contributions from the top of their lineup.
At this point, that belief is based on the law of probability more than anything currently being evidenced.
“These guys are guys that are established, guys who have track records,” Xander Bogaerts said last week. “If there is one thing I know about this game it is you believe in a guy’s track record. That goes a long way, man, I’m telling you. These are not guys that it’s their first year in the big leagues. Nah. These guys are established stars.”
