This is Bogey’s team, so I don’t think it was an interesting choice to keep him at SS. Now if Cora would have made the choice to put Story at SS that would have been the interesting part. JBJ is just as good in RF, and especially in Fenway has a better arm.

 

Maybe the most interesting choice was signing Story to begin with, if the idea was not to play him where he is best suited.

 

Now, I don't know about his arm injury and the role that might have had in the idea of signing him to play 2B, at least for 2022.

[moonslav59]

Well you said the trade for Story didn’t make sense, and everyone knew that he would be playing 2B, so I guess that is on Cora, and Bloom that you don’t agree with it.

 

Only in the sense of playing Story at 2B.

 

All winter, I was wanting us to sign Baez to play SS and Suzuki to play RF. (Shows what I know about being a good GM, and why just because I disagree with some moves, it doesn't mean I think the Gm was wrong. I know I'm not an equal to Bloom. I accept that.)

Suzuki got off to a good start, but is injured now, and hasn’t done much since. I don’t think any of the 2B/SS signed this past off season has lived up to their money so far this season either.

Lot's of hype on many of them.

 

.751 Correa but just 154 PAs

.708 Seager

.556 Baez

(Iggy is at .747!)

.759 Story

.635 Semien

Baez .556, wow.

 

Just another reminder that baseball is hard.

Seager is almost worse, since he's making about twice as much.

That's going to be a bad contract. And he's a good player. But not nearly that good.

To think anyone considered him even close to that value is mind-boggling.
