5/9 @ Brewers

Lynn was much better in the field.

 

Who gives a s*** about Fred Lynn? Seriously. Benintendi is all of 22 years old, batting cleanup, and leads the current Sox in dingers, OPS, total bases, runs, and rbi's. Last year he skipped AAA to get to the big club. He is exactly what the Yankees thought they were getting when they offered Ellsbury $154M. They thought they were getting the 2011 Ellsbury, he with the .928 OPS, 32 dingers, 117 rbi's, etc.

 

Lynn was probably a better fielder, but Beni is decent enough to allow Farrell to keep our best OF arm in RF where he belongs and to put Young in LF while JBJ necessarily rides the pine.

 

OK, OK. I looked up Fred Lynn and agree he had an incredible rookie year and was about the same age as Benintendi but 5 months older. And he was a better fielder. I was in Germany that summer and the next four.

yea. GG many times over correct?

 

I know there has been some comparison, it seems like Lynn was much better.

 

But dang........ Beni has this sweet compact swing which seems to have no holes......

 

 

WIsh I saw Lynn and Rice....... I was too young...

I pretty much hate comparing players against players...... I just thought it was interesting because the comparison was being brought up.
