Read what I said again: Betts is a better defensive rightfielder than JBJ a defensive centerfielder. JBJ is no doubt a better centerfielder, but he sure as heck isn't the greatest ever. That's just nuts.[/QUote]

 

Yep, and Mookie is also probably a better bowler than JBJ too.

You just gotta' love the way Beni has been playing LF. Yes its the easiest of all the Fenway OF spots. But all of the Fenway OF spots are hard relatively and if Beni keeps making plays like that hitters are going to start to turn possible doubles into long loud singles and that is a big deal in this park which is doubles heaven.

I really want JBJ to just be decent at the plate, it makes the team so much better to have JBJ hitting and have the Beni/JBJ/Mookie outfield.

Its really not a knock that Mookie is better at something than another player. Mookie is literally good at everything.

 

Yep. I agree.

 

I just thought we were listing all the things Mookie is better than anyone else at.

 

:rolleyes:

You seem to be blind to the talent of the other 9 CFers in MLB that are as good or better.

 

I would take JBJ in the ninth inning with bases jacked in CF over Mike trout or anyone you want to pull out your ass .

The dinger and the double were both off of cutters on the inside of the plate around waist high. Price is human after all.

That HR aside, this is still a much better outing than I'd feared from Mr. Tingles.

 

Impossible to complain.

Price sounds healthy ... Maybe big things to come this June as things heat up .

 

Nope. Our pitching is "in trouble."

 

I can't remember who said that recently.

 

:P

In defense of JBJ's defense vs his offense. If JBJ makes a great play defensively that prevents 2 runs from scoring, that would equate offensively to 2 RBI.

 

He's made 80 put outs to date, not including tonight. How many of those weren't catchable by the average centerfielder and also in fact saved a run? I would say maybe 5.

Absolutely.....

 

Kiermaier irritates me no end because while he is a great CF, he makes so many plays look so much more difficult than they in fact are and gets to pull it off playing in a town that really does not know any better. Pillar does not do that though he might be just a hair under Kiermaier. JBJ just glides to the baseball. So much of what JBJ accomplishes in CF is lost on the viewing public because he positions himself better than the other league CFers and he takes very direct routes to the baseball. In all honesty, I can't tell much difference defensively between Kiermaier, Pillar and JBJ because all three of them do it very differently to achieve pretty much the same result. All around, JBJ might be better than the other two. He comes in on the ball better than Kiermaier but not as good as Pillar. Pillar comes in better than Kiermaier but does not go back as good as Kiermaier. The terribly inadequate stats and advanced defensive stats they have devised so far favor both Kiermaier and Pillar more than they do JBJ. In Fenway, I would take JBJ over the other two. In your average ML park, probably Kiermaier followed by Pillar followed by JBJ. The three of them are so close together that its a sheet of paper dif between them. Jones is no slouch either and is probably even less than a sheet of paper under those three guys.
