I didn't post a 10 game sample for Refsnyder, I posted his entire defensive DRS for OF from 2022. That's what I posted for Tapia too.
All I posted was that if Duran could hit better that he'd start CF over Refsnyder.
Tapia isn't a career 1.357whatever OPS guy. Refsnyder and Tapia are bench guys AT BEST. Duran has a starting profile if he put it together at the plate.
I was just using 2022 stats, because those are the most relevant.
Tapia has only played 449 Innings in CF, but over 2,500 Innings in LF BECAUSE HE'S NOT A VERY GOOD CFER.
His velo is up. More movement on his slider early on. He's not leaving his offspeed stuff over the plate. His curve is what got hammered last season and he's keeping it down and getting more whiffs on it so far this year. Plus, all the four leaf clovers he's put in his pockets.
-14 DRS over 2 years in 630 Innings in CF. Refsnyder -2 in 115 Innings in CF, comes out to -11 DRS in 630 Innings. Yeah, if Duran could hit, he'd start of Refsnyder in CF.
They would have to acquire someone. Right now, they will be going with Tapia/Refsnyder, which is not ideal!
Dalbec is coming up to fill in at SS? I don't like that either!
Why does Chaim hate defense and the starting rotation?
Kiké to CF. You wait for him to hit. If he doesn't, you either go to Duran (978 OPS in AAA) or just throw Rafaela into the fire realizing he isn't going to learn to hit the way you want him to.
How many bidders are there really for Laureano? I don't think there are that many that would cause a trade to be held up until the deadline. It would make more sense for a potential Reynolds deal to be held up until then, but he doesn't have an expiring contract. It'd be only if two playoff teams had a OF hole they needed to fill and wanted him desperately.
I agree with the premise I bolded. That's why I mentioned Iggy in another post. He's not going to move the meter, but he's a better option that everything else that exists on the 40 man roster right now.
I don't know much about DeJong except that he's currently injured. He's a better fielder than Iggy is right now that's for sure. Hitting wise?
He doesn't answer those questions. We already know that. Why bother asking?
I think they should consider finding someone who can field SS adequately and move Kiké to CF. José Iglesias is at AAA for the Marlins. My guess is Duvall is going to go on the 60 day IL. It's not going to move mountains to fix the problem, but the Sox weren't going to win anything until the rest of the team started hitting anyway.
I'm just really OUT on seeing Kiké at SS.
Your wording didn't left it open to interpretation.
I'm fine with a Yorke trade. He keeps tweaking his stance and has an injury history and a bad defensive profile.
