John knows 1B is the big question mark in the field and isn't quite sure which way the team is leaning there. John said the offense looks the same as last year, which is frustrating because it's not a good offense. John wants to see Jack Suwinski rebound and thinks he can be a real wild card in the lineup. John doesn't believe Joey Bart was a fluke last season and he can do it again in 2025. John said the middle of the lineup has lacked a true threat over the last few seasons.
