JBJ is a -8.2 oWAR right now and has a lower fWAR than Devers.

I am not sure what your point is.

Meh. Most days I think you guys over-rate defense. However, I back Cora's decisions on stuff like this, and he is sticking with JBJ. Bad as his hitting is, he has been unable to prevent the Sox from building the best offensive machine in MLB.

Actually, I think most people underrate defense.

That's been my experience too. Probably because outstanding offense is easy to quantify and therefore understand while outstanding defense (or any defense for that matter) isn't.

  Brock, I think when healthy Contreras is a good add. Based on his history in the game, even at DH and 1B his body is subject to historical levels of wear and tear, so I put his GP over/under at 108 since 135 seemed like a career year. I believe we bought high. We have to hope 2/3 of a player can be back filled by Casas, Yoshida and Abreu the lefty platoon player.

  We are not ready to win the playoffs - We should get in but we can't win with the current lineup. We have a DH with little power hitting 227 and a replacement first baseman hitting 219. (Yoshida/Lowe). We scored 4 runs in 2 games against good pitching - Just like you will see against playoff teams. I like our young pitching but we must get replacements for the 2 mentioned hitters thru free agency or trade to contend. Don't see a solution in our farm system. Those two spots need to hit with power.
