Here we are in the postseason and all 4 of the stud freshmen (Kling, Neal, Jones, Guidry) are not in the lineup (for a variety of reasons). All 4 were expected to be in the lineup by many at some point since the fall. Just shows you how much experience matters for hitting. Unless it's Crews or Bregman, freshmen in the lineup at the end of the season isn't really a good thing.

One is out for the season, one missed time with injury which hurt his development, and one is primarily a pitcher for now who will throw in key situations in the postseason.

Yes, experience is big in the postseason but that isn’t the main reason most of those guys aren’t playing.

Wierd Rant…these guys are great players but our lineup is stacked. Most years you would see Kling and Jones as everyday players.

That’s not fair to them. We have studs everywhere in the lineup. Those guys are starting for 99% of teams out there. The ones that are healthy of course.
