Wells is at .795 OPS and everyone else among the 14 most likely are at .833 and up. Zunino and Hicks are even in that group. In fact when you're talking about the guys that are producing, Hicks and Zunino are the only ones other than those 14 that are above.795 OPS with Francisco Martinez being right at .795. That a good percentage of that damage has been done against MLB pitching is more uplifting to the idea that the offense is good now. This group even includes Brendan Ryan, Kelly Shoppach and Justin Smoak.
I can understand the idea of being more intent on seeing how they do once other teams get their WBC players back, but the average competition won't rise that much. They've scored 89 times in 12 games which is 7.4 per. I think I'd be pretty excited by seeing 6 per. I don't expect them to be scoring this prolifically when the season starts, but this looks like an offense.
