“They’re going to be playing with a target on their back. Joe Maddon says embrace the target. I do think they’re well-positioned to withstand some of that, just with Joe’s personality and the way it keeps it really loose. I think you saw uncommon maturity in these young players that came up, the way they were able to handle everything last year. And the 1908 stuff, black cats, whatever, these guys are so young they have no idea what you’re talking about.”
