The New York Mets were counting on the new guys to deliver.
Instead, the likes of Bo Bichette, Luis Robert Jr., Jorge Polanco and Marcus Semien have been an overall disappointment.
They've been a big part of why the Mets are off to such a rough start to the season, and the numbers aren't pretty.
ESPN's Bradford Doolittle did the favor in a new article of combining the stats of that quartet together.
"If you were to mash Luis Robert Jr., Bo Bichette, Jorge Polanco and Marcus Semien into one player, the combined line would be .217/.277/.300 over 449 plate appearances with six homers and 37 RBIs," Doolittle writes.
Oof, that's definitely not good enough.
They haven't even all stayed healthy, either.
"Robert and Polanco have found their way to the IL, unsurprising given their playing time histories, and Semien might simply be done as an above-average hitter," Doolittle writes.
