250 hitter 12 to 18 dingers a year ...Terrible base runner ...I think the kid can be easily upgraded .

How would you proposed upgrading given the Red Sox roster and budget limitations?

I am sorry but this is vintage 2017 Barnes. Anybody that does not believe it didn't watch the games.

Barnes is a big problem.

 

If he doesn't throw a strike he can't give up a hit. Is that what he is thinking? Henbree and Barnes have that same lack of mentality or lack of menatality.

He's 23 and last year as a rookie he was 2d on the team in rbi's and total bases--oh, and stolen bases.

 

This year with a much better lineup--2d best in MLB--he is only 5th in total bases and 6th in rbi's, but is 2d in runs scored and leads in stolen bases. Tonight he has been terrific on the basepaths--getting extra bases and even stealing one. He is a pretty fair leftfielder who can also play CF. The coaches all say he has a good swing.

 

He is not only playing for about $500K a year, but is under Sox control for years to come.
