Ozuna just isn't the guy he was in that peak season in Miami. He's a fine power bat but he's not the professional hitter he appeared to be in 2017. Whether it was the shoulder or simple regression - Ozuna's...fine. He's a quality major league player. But he's not a difference maker and he's not someone that a deep system shouldn't be able to replace pretty easily.

He is hitting .278 with 2 HR and 4 RBI with a 1.072 OPS so far to start the season. So yea, having 2 Tyler Oneal's and 1 less Fowler would be beneficial. Put Carlson at CF and production doesn't look too shabby.

Or 1 less Carpenter and Ozuna at DH.

Hell I dont know, anything but the shit we have seen the last 2 games.
