RE: Kiké at SS. He ranks 17th/35 in qualified SS arm strength, (Xander is 33rd, food for thought), and 38th/40 in Outs Above Average (Xander is #1 in that category, also food for thought). So in aggregate, Kiké is bad, and he should feel bad.
-
But unlike Jeter, he also has a noodle arm. Almost all of his value is offensive.
-
They should've buttressed the SS position. They love versatility, but SS is a position that requires a very specific skillset. A good 2B can have great range with a below average arm, a good 3B can have below average range if he has a strong arm, but a SS needs both range and arm. In my opinion, Kiké ain't it.

Fair point.

The Red Sox starting rotation -- long term
Dipre replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
This team has enough money to gamble big on a pitcher with upside. I personally don't like that strategy, but that's a mistake the Rays can't make that the Sox can. Need to be cautious, but not to the point of not improving the team's present without sacrificing its future. -
This team could go far if it gets healthy and improves their run prevention, but both of those are very big IFs
-
Of the entire rotation, the only one who has an actual excuse to not provide IP is Bello. He's a rookie, and he still provided run prevention, thus giving the team a chance to win.
-
It was clear from the get-go that neither Story nor Mondesí would be ready to contribute early season. Kiké was plan A
-
He stinks. There's a reason he's never really stuck around an ML roster.
-
Upon double checking, there's no natural SS on this roster, so yeah, that's definitely a Bloom problem.
-
Re: Cora's managing As Sox fan named Hugh mentioned in another thread....do we even hace this conversation if someone other than Kiké is playing SS?
-
I think this is a much more sensible criticism of Cora's managing .
-
I dropped it. It's dead. Don't beat it no more.
-
Such wit is unheard of on this site!
-
Everybody looks better if you take out their worst outing of the season.
-
Calling them out when they're wrong is the discussion part of forum.
-
No one liked that opinion because, and this is key, it's wrong, even if it's "just an opinion". Sometimes we're just wrong man.
-
I mean, they hit a team they should have hit. I just want Rodriguez off this team.
-
What I'm trying to say is, can you please state your opinion in a manner that doesn't turn this place into a warzone? Please and thank you.
-
I haven't mentioned Cora at all.
-
And you shouldn't be allowed to have arms to post with. Jesus Christ.
-
Joely Rodriguez should not be allowed to have arms to throw baseballs with.
-
As much as he needs, considering how good he was in May overall.
-
This game was bad, and they should feel bad
-
What the hell is a Gansett?
