    It helps that his line drive rate increased, his infield fly ball rate decreased and his hard hit % skyrocketed. Looks like he's just making better contact?

    After a strong 2012, Nationals blogger wrote this about him: "19) Sandy Leon, C, Grade C: Defense-oriented catcher can have long career as a backup. Hit .322/.396/.460 this year at three minor league levels, but this was completely out of context with the rest of his career and looks fluky to me. " There are lots of articles about him tearing up the winter league in 2013. Maybe it wasn't such a fluke after all? I don't think he's a .300 hitter, but could he hit .275? Sure seems like it.

    I agree. I feel the same way about manager.

    I was told there were "countless articles" about Dombrowski saying that he was ready. I couldn't find any that said Benintendi would be called up in the near future prior to August 1. The only articles I found stated that they didn't know when he would be ready. Plain and simple, I don't remember Dombrowski ever stating that Benintendi would likely be called up this year. It directly refutes Nick's assertion. I'm glad he's here. I hope he plays every single day.

    Who are YOU to doubt the Fangraphs Tribune?!?

    Vazquez should still be in Boston. Swihart should have never been put in LF. At this point, what even is his trade value?

    The third google hit: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/clubhouse_insider/2016/06/dombrowski_andrew_benintendi_impressing_but_too_soon_for "Asked if he was considered for a promotion straight to the majors, Dombrowski said, “Not really. We don’t think he’s ready at this point. We didn’t even talk about him in relation to this move. We just don’t think he’s ready and we wouldn’t want to bring him up here until he’s ready.”

I don’t know if it’s this year or next year" Touting Benintendi and saying that he will be promoted in August are two totally different things.

    Sure. I don't see them playing above .500 on the road though. As it stands, they are 26-25. With 51 games left, they would need to go 29-22, .569. The Cardinals, Cubs and Nationals are the only teams 7 games above or more on the road at the moment.
  10. mvp 78
    .075 maybe? There was a time when literally every new poster that came aboard who disagreed with you was supposedly Dutchy. Honestly, he hasn't been around for a long time (2 years?) and you've called a few people out the past year or so.
  11. mvp 78
    Half of those games have been against the murderer's row of the Twins, Yankees and Angels. For the year, they are behind Toronto and Baltimore, the teams they are chasing for the pennant. Baltimore's rotation isn't considered very good, so what does that say about our staff? It will be interesting to see how they hold up against the O's and the Jays when they meet head to head.
  12. mvp 78
    Are you saying A700 is a sleuth? He's called out several posters for being Dutchy that were not in fact Dutchy. I'm just always a little amused with posters on here tilting at windmills.
  13. mvp 78
    Don't get me wrong, he's an absolute joy to watch. If he's here, he should be playing everyday. I just don't think the #9 hitter is going to get you the pennant.
  14. mvp 78
    A700 is to Dutchy as Slasher9 is to TBSB

    The spark this team needs is in the pitching department. All the offense in the world isn't going to save this season. Ortiz, Xander and Pedey all seem to be slowing down. It was to be expected as they couldn't possibly replicate the 1st half offensive numbers. They were due for a regression. It's the pitching staff's turn to try to win a few games.
  16. mvp 78
    Yup, all these talent evaluators that hadn't watched a lick of him just knew he was ready. I was erring on the said of caution as were the professionals at Soxprospects who actually go out and watch the guys play. In all the podcasts I've listened to, none of the scouts were saying that he should be brought up any sooner than September. What do they know? Hey, the unwashed masses were right on this one. Kuddos.

    I can't see his eyes.
