Let’s give Christian Walker credit for rebounding so strongly this year. MLB-N’s Mark DeRosa said he asked Walker to be on Team USA, but Walker told him he was too focused on getting it together in pre season so that he could rebound this season. Walker took last year’s first half personally and was determined to get it going early this season.
