From Andrew McCutchen to Chris Sale, some of baseball’s biggest names have been big-time duds in 2015.
The good news for the Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder and the Chicago White Sox ace is that it’s still early—really early. The bad news is that their teams play in two of the most competitive divisions in baseball—the type of divisions where a sideways start could be the kiss of death.
Combing through the league, McCutchen and Sale are two of the most prominent superstars who need to step up for their respective clubs before it’s too late, but they’re not the only ones. There’s also room on the list for a Cy Young Award winner and a member of one of the most hyped rotations in recent memory.
