Aside from going to the Olympics (which ‘should’ be a positive) is this guy worth his salt?

Robinson Cancel starting at catcher. What does the guy have to do to get more playing time? OPS over 1100?

and come within 3 outs of the World Series…with a very similar roster to the one we have now. But I would guess that his style was just uninspiring for the players.
