You two are the North going and South going Zax incarnate. https://seuss.fandom.com/wiki/The_Zax

When you go to the store to buy a dozen eggs, do you go into the Express Lane if it says 10 items or less? When I say they treated like a platoon player, go look at the amount of PA's a guy like Mitch Moreland had. He was on the strong side of a platoon. He was not getting Ben Zobrist like PA's. I didn't literally mean that they platooned him based on handedness.
-
Bellinger should be a backup.
-
Kiké is NOT a utility guy for the Sox, that's for sure. He's definitely a starter here.
-
Ok, they treated him as a strong side platoon player like Mitch Moreland then. Less than 500 PA per year is a platoon player.
-
The season hasn't ended. He can't sign anyone yet.
-
Zobrist also had 599 PA or more 7 out of 8 seasons from 09-16. Kiké has never hit that mark. Zobrist really was a fulltime player that moved around. Kiké was more a backup player that topped out at 462 PA with the Dogers in 2018 before coming to the Sox and becoming a true fulltime player. He was getting the same amount of appearances as a strong side platoon player. I think the Red Sox treat him more like a starter and a Ben Zobrist type than the Dodgers did. Also, the NL game pre-DH allowed for bench players to rack up more appearances over the course of a season.

If SEA offers him 1/18.5M, he should take it IMO. I don't think he's going to get a really huge deal after another injury shortened year.
-
What's a better term for that kind of player then?
-
According to Statcast, Nimmo also pulls most of his HR's too and Fenway wouldn't be his preferred location.
-
It depends on how much of a pull hitter they are. If they can go the other way and use the Monster, it's no big deal. Bellinger is a dead pull hitter according to Statcast.
-
Bellinger's swing is tailor made to die an even quicker death in Fenway.
-
Bogey and Swanson will get about the same amount of $$$ IMO. Haniger's contract will be much smaller than Nimmo's.
-
He did create the first indoor stadium. I'll give him that!
-
Being super is a bad connotation now?
-
Oh yeah?!?!? 2021: 2b -5 OAA 2022: 2b -1 OAA
-
Didn't lead to a WS ring so it doesn't matter to me in the least. At least Hendu's HR against the Angel's was actually a made for tv moment.
-
I'm going to go home tonight and put my 1976 Topps Carbo in my son's bike spokes and then give it to the new puppy.
-
Nobody gives two shits about Bernie Carbo anymore old man...
-
Let's not start talking about Pittsburgh Steelers QB's now...
-
More so than Cobb?
-
The pre-modern baseball player numbers are super wacky and I don't think they are comparable to today's player. I think putting a demarcation line at 1940 for baseball makes sense. I just don't buy that Honus Wagner would be an MLB All Star in 2022.
-
I'm launching Cobb, Speaker, Hornsby and Wagner into the sun.
-
Breaking news: Kiké is not Yaz's triple crown season, or Hall of Famer David Ortiz (happy 9th anniversary to sending Hunter into the bullpen BTW), or a stolen base that helped lead the Sox to their first WS win in 86 years!
-
If he's highly sought after, he's traded.
