    Actually, you WERE wrong. The proof is in the pudding. At the end of the night you were crying in your beer and not dancing in the streets.

    Espinal went 1-2-3 in his first inning. Giving up a double to Nelson Cruz and a single to the raging hot Wander Franco isn't the end of the world. He probably deserves a longer look.
  3. mvp 78
    Verdugo? A few. He's not very good either. Kiké rarely if ever. He's actually pretty good out there. And yes, Renfroe's range leaves something to be desired. He's got a cannon, but he's not very athletic in RF.
  4. mvp 78
    Part time LF? He was better when he was younger (2015-2018). He's still only 28, but plays the field like he's closer to mid 30's.

    Why don dey call up dat Wu guy who just trew 5 no hit innings n Greenville? Um sure he could do da same ting here! That's what you sound like.
  6. mvp 78
    Maybe in 2023. How would his 5.29 ERA in Greenville look against MLB hitting?

    I meant less about individual statistics, but more of "what were they doing that October." When the Sox have pitched well, they've gone to the playoffs. When the Sox have pitched poorly, they've been medicore to also rans(2005, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015). If it wasn't for the pitching, Ortiz and JD would have never made it to the WS with the Sox. 2004: Schilling addition 2007: Beckett, Paplebon, Lester rookie year 2013: renaissance for Lester/Buch/Lackey and Kojimania 2018: Sale/Price/Eovaldi/Kimbrell

    Plus: plate discipline, arm, speed Plus Plus: range and glove (highlight reel)

    Yorke's 1219 OPS in Greenville is just hilarious. OPS by month: May 483 June 953 July 966 August 1352 Sept 1196

    How did Ortiz and JD fare in years when the starting pitching didn't quite have it?
  11. mvp 78
    Rosario had a 782 OPS in August. I think missing out on 2020 really hurt a lot of these guys. He's a career 700 OPS guys so it's not like he has a huge ceiling. Potts has taken a step backwards, but was injured at the start of the season and is still only 22. German has been taken out of the pen. His last two appearances have been in relief: 2 innings, 4k, 0h, 0bb, 0r. (SoxProspects had him projected as a middle reliever anyway.) Wallace had only played short season ball before this year and missed out last year. In August: 0.92 WHIP. He has 20 k's in his last 11 innings to only 4 bb's.
  12. mvp 78
    Yes, because you'd take that 20M+ and put it towards pitching instead of using it all on a DH, which should be the easiest position to fill. I think going forward, the Sox should NOT go for any DH only guys in FA. Cora likes a versatile lineup and having a guy like JD or Ortiz kinda limits what you can do on a day to day basis.
  13. mvp 78
    Uh, he had a 21.6 UZR/150 in 2007, -1 DRS. Those numbers are vastly better than Duran. Duran just isn't good out there. I'm not sure he even shows promise.
  14. mvp 78
    Ahem...
  15. mvp 78
    Coco was very good through 2013. They should have kept Coco and never signed Crawford. CC 0.0 fWAR 2011, 130 games Coco 2.0 fWAR 2011, 136 games Coco had a 3.7 fWAR season in 2013
  16. mvp 78
    Also, Schwarber didn't look very good at 1B.
  17. mvp 78
    As jacko would often say "Ellsbury is made of glass." He stopped saying that when Ellsbury signed with the Yankees for some reason. I don't know why?
  18. mvp 78
    If he gets to it, he can catch it. The problem is that he breaks very late on these fly balls so his range is limited. There was a ball hit the other night to LF/CF that I thought he'd at least have a chance on and he was about 20 ft away when it landed. It was one of those "JBJ woulda had it" moments.
  19. mvp 78
    And if he doesn't figure it out quickly, his chance in Boston will slip away.
  20. mvp 78
    He runs horrible routes. He's not a natural out there.
  21. mvp 78
    Yup. Hope this was a turning point for his career. If he never figures it out in the field, he'll at least be able to DH and fill in at 1B/3B on an emergency basis.
  22. mvp 78
    IDK, so many prospects just flame out. That's why you hoard as many as possible.
  23. mvp 78
    Wu doesn't have great control. Will probably wind up as a reliever.
  24. mvp 78
    Great AB by Arauz
  25. mvp 78
    A split would be amazing here.
