How many additional runs? Maybe zero? Maybe more? Who knows?
If JBJ is in the offense, how many fewer runs do the Sox score? Maybe zero? Maybe More? Who knows?
'Stros only had 2 guys play more than 150 games, both of which were IFers.
It was a team largely built on big bats with meh gloves. This is probably why Cora is ok with throwing JD out in LF more than you'd like him to. Also why HanRam is getting so much run this year.
JBJ was the 13th ranked CFer for dWAR last year and 18th fWAR. His bat brings down his numbers, but his defensive metrics don't show him to be irreplaceable.
I always thought the "Devil Rays" was a nice nod to the thriving death metal scene in Tampa. http://wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/post/born-tampa-death-metal-making-comeback
To me, I just want the innings and pitches controlled the first 1/3 of the season. After that, I think the starters should be good to go. I think adding in an additional day off once in a while down the stretch wouldn't be a bad idea.
