    Also, I was on the Monster when Frank Thomas took bp. I'll never forget that. I felt like a duck and Thomas was a duck hunter.

    1998, which was about 8 years too late for the switch. (Chi Sox were rotating through Bell, Franco and Kruk at DH during the mid 90's until Thomas was moved there after the baseball strike)

    I don't think they have better longevity, but I'm not sure if it is worse.

    Beni has spent more time in CF than Rosario has it. I'm sure they both can play the position, just probably not at a high level. I think Verdugo showed that he's a perfect fit for RF in Fenway. I'd leave him there.

    Started 20 games at 1b. Not sure his bat is good enough for that position.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/12/cubs-phillies-interested-in-jackie-bradley-jr.html Jackie Bradley Jr.’s market continues to percolate, as MLB.com’s Jon Paul Morosi tweets that the Cubs and Phillies are the latest teams to be linked to the free agent outfielder. Beyond Philadelphia and Chicago, four other clubs (the Blue Jays, Red Sox, Astros, and an unknown AL Central team) have also reportedly shown interest in Bradley’s services at various points in the offseason.

    The next decade of Betts discourse will be very enjoyable.

    I stay away from large contracts for catchers.
  9. mvp 78
    To be fair, his number since ASB 2019 aren't very good. 597 OPS WRC+ 61 937 the first half of 2019, 136 WRC+.

    I have zero problem with them signing platoon guys as long as they are meant to stay that way. I believe that a platoon with Beni could make the LF position very productive. Keeping those tough lefties off of Beni's plate could really turn him around.
  11. mvp 78
    Also had a ridiculously low 141 BABIP. I think 3M is worth the upside.
  12. mvp 78
    Meant to say intentionally walked.
  13. mvp 78
    When the Sox were scouting him in HS, the scout saw Renfroe get walked with the bases loaded 3 times.
  14. mvp 78
    Gomes was fun as hell to watch. I don't think they open up the wallets for Springer. Verdugo should stay in RF 100%.
  15. mvp 78
    Side note: The 2019 Tigers hold the record for most k's in a year: 1,595. The 2019 Padres hold the NL record: 1,581. Padres with > 100 k's: Myers, Hosmer, Renfroe, Machado, Tatis, Hedges The 2019 Red Sox had 1,382 k's with 8 guys above 100 k's. The 1990 Red Sox had 795 k's with only Brunansky getting 105 k's. Expect the record to be broken in 2021 if teams play 162 games.

    30 years ago, only 7 players had enough PA's to qualify for the batting title and have a K% above 25%. Last year, the amount went up to 41. In 1990: Deer, Tettleton, Canseco, Fielder, Galarraga, Barfield, Sosa (those are some pretty good names)
  17. mvp 78
    I'll bet donuts to dollars that the Other is a CFer.
  18. mvp 78
    LF - Beni CF - Other RF - Verdugo 4th OF - Renfroe

    https://www.justballgloves.com/blog/post/the-history-of-baseball-gloves/ Hard to take any fielding stat seriously until the invention of the modern webbed glove.
  20. mvp 78
    Plus he can spell Verdugo in RF every once in a while.
  21. mvp 78
    Cleveland won't be changing their name until next offseason now. LMFAO
  22. mvp 78
    @PeteAbe New Sox OF Hunter Renfroe said he has actually gotten to know Raiders receiver Hunter Renfrow.
  23. mvp 78
    Also, Wily Mo could kinda hit. I enjoyed watching him.
  24. mvp 78
    Similar Batters through 28 Russell Branyan (967.6) Adam Duvall (954.0) Khris Davis (942.1) Jonny Gomes (939.6) Gorman Thomas (939.4) Ron Kittle (935.4) Jorge Soler (927.9) Steven Souza Jr. (927.6) Cody Ross (927.3) Wily Mo Pena (927.0)
  25. mvp 78
    Pena SLG 445, 91 WRC+, 0.4 fWAR Renfroe SLG 486, 102 WRC+, 3.8 fWAR Pena didn't have the pronounced splits that Renfroe does and Renfroe actually has a professional glove.
