Devers is the worst defensive player in baseball, and I’m not exaggerating.

 

He’s not a rookie. What you see is what you are going to get. He could be Big Papi 2 though.

I guess you don't watch the baseball, anymore, either.

He's far from big papi. Pump the breaks there. Papi had a 956 OPS with the Sox with 145OPS+ plus. OBP 386. It's not even close

[redsoxrules]

If he was like a big papi I'd definitely have no issues with him at 300M

Well, Not as much as I wanted but enough to rest my case. He's horrible. Not now. Since forever.

He is far from "the worst."

I said he "could" turn into a Big Papi-Like DH. He could be easily a 900 career hitter BUT still have to be seen though. The power is there.

He did hit .916 in 2019 at age 22.

 

Papi never hit .900 in a season until age 27.

 

Career OPS at age 26:

 

.855 Devers

 

.809 Papi

Well, he could be even better then, as a DH.

Papi's PO numbers are unmatchable though, AND is where the whole thing counts, and the sample is not small BTW.

 

Probably, the best clutch hitter in baseball history in POs.
