    As a backup, he's fine.
  2. mvp 78
    I don't think many analytical people care about shifting. If they do, it's purely for aesthetic reasons I guess?
  3. mvp 78
    More wiggle room with that too as the bases are now bigger.
  4. mvp 78
    He is a horrible fielder. His speed doesn't matter. It certainly won't help him with whatever shifting nonsense we're talking about now. As of 10:22 AM on 9/16/22, he's a below average LFer. How would that get better in 2023?
  5. mvp 78
    He's cheap. A league minimum Eric Hosmer has value. You could deal him at some point.
  6. mvp 78
    Duran can't catch a ball 15 ft away from him, what is his speed going to do?
  7. mvp 78
    SS's will now be running like pre-snap Arena League WR's.
  8. mvp 78
    But they've played so well against the AL East all year?!?!?
  9. mvp 78
    He's shut down for the year I think.
  10. mvp 78
    Not bad for AAA since the big club took most of their pitching.
  11. mvp 78
    Yeah, baseball determined that it was far too sexy already and didn’t need Morganna or Sox Appeal or Sexy Robot Umps.
  12. mvp 78
    The problem with robot umps? They are a bit rusty!
  13. mvp 78
    Or does it?
  14. mvp 78
    And I bet there are several posting bots on here that couldn't even name the Red Sox General Managers since Theo Epstein left!
  15. mvp 78
    If only we had more active posters on here!
  16. mvp 78
    Nope! He did resign though.
  17. mvp 78
    He wasn't fired, he quit a few weeks after DD rolled into town.

    I believe Mazza and Springs were likely to be DFA'd that offseason, which is why they did a "two-fer." At the time, they needed catching depth and they really wanted to clear out some of that pitching dead weight. I liked Mazza in 2020 and they really talked up Springs on the NESN telecasts. Sox really liked Springs k rates and spin rates. I was kind of surprised they let him go. We can now see that Ronaldo really doesn't seem to be a long term fit a catcher. His upside at DH or other positions is moderate. He probably gets a longer look next year as the primary catcher in WOO, but I don't see it. They should have kept Mazza and Springs instead of Austin Brice and Colten Brewer. Ronaldo has potential, but he's sat on the 40 man for 2 years now and hasn't provided anything to the big club. It's going to take another year in WOO to even determine if he'll ever be ready.
  19. mvp 78
    I would be surprised if he's the starting RFer on 4/1/23.
  20. mvp 78
    The reason we shouldn't have an accurate strike zone is us piggies don't deserve it?
  21. mvp 78
    He was also getting shaky the prior year in the pen. It took a LOOOOONG time for him to get it back.
  22. mvp 78
    He needs to get Wong to not throw the ball down the RF line to nobody.
  23. mvp 78
    Beni was having a fine season, but they still remember the 2018 vintage. He's not that guy anymore. That seems to be his high water mark. He's a LFer that may end the season with a SLG under 400. "But he won a GG!" 0 DRS this year. The Beni trade was fine. The Renfroe trade was dumb.
  24. mvp 78
    He's been worth 16 fWAR the past two years. Judge is right behind him at 15.
  25. mvp 78
    Khalil Lee isn't exactly lighting it up either.
