So he can hit the ball pretty hard if he gets the barrel on a good fastball. That is his ceiling. We know that he doesn't get the barrel on pitches in enough ABs. Do we really need average exit velocity to tell us that?
Kelly needs to keep the ball in the ballpark. The Over/Under on Home runs by Kelly is 2. If he can keep it at 2 or under, we can compete, as long as they are not 3 run bombs (a Buchholz specialty).
Boggs is okay. The Red Sox didn't want him when he still had 6 years left in him. The owners messed up in letting an all time great walk for chump change.
That is what it is. It gives broadcasters something to talk about and ooh and ah about it. I am with Jerry Remy on this in that I don't really care about it. It iis a meaningless stat imo.
Buch has been garbage. We don't need advanced stats or analytics or fangraphs to know that. If the numbers and graphs don't support that he has been garbage, then someone got the numbers or the graphs wrong.
We're losing control to these interlopers!! We need to take our forum back and make TalkSox great again!! Our collctive OCD cannot stand clutter and disorganization.
