So far, so good for Matt Olson

We’re currently in the middle part of May, which seems like a decent time to start to take stock of how players are looking as we leave the start of the season and effectively get into the meat-and-potatoes of the regular season following Memorial Day. I am once again here to voice my grave concerns about a Braves hitter at the plate. The last time this happened, Dansby Swanson proved me to be a fool and a worrywart since he’s basically back to being the Dansby Swanson we expect after going on one of his patented hot streaks. Between his return to the lofty heights of 91 wRC+ and his stellar defense, he’s actually tied for the team lead in fWAR right now!
