Yap, this.

It’s crazy how much expectations sway the way different players are viewed.

Yea, Kling is still young & has to improve. But he didn’t ask for the target on his back. Fans will hold that against him until he is gone. It’s so stupid

Part of that is because there are guys like you who talk them up and then they underperform. Kling, Hurd, and Neal are good examples. Whenever you have guys talking about how good Braswell is defensively, how much Neal gets on base, etc and those things turn out not to be true, it's going to get people's attention.

I agree and have said the expectations Jay placed on him last year "he could be the next Dylan Crews" always set him up to fail, but to also act like he has so much time left when this could conceivably be his last year here is just as dumb.
