With Mookie, I'm pretty bullish on Mookie having a big bounce back year.

He had that weird virus at the start of the year.
I think it sapped his strength.
So he was compensating for that in his swing and got out of his mechanics.
Mookie is very hard on himself, and I think he beat himself down trying to get out of that.
He had put a lot of energy into learning shortstop.
All of those things, I think, are gone.
