    The broke Twins also don't want to be locked into the MLB salaries of Duran and Campbell.

    But they went 1-5 against the Angels! If you exclude blowouts, the Sox have a ZERO run differential and are 1 game over .500. Game over man, game over!

    Nobody knows how Crochet will perform in the big market spotlights of the postseason. Nobody knows how any of the current BoSox will perform. It's a completely untested group.

    We've seen really bad SS defense the past few years so we get excited at seeing average SS defense. This makes us confused as to why the metrics just look mediocre. His average defense is just a lot better than we've witnessed at the position for several years.

    Yup. "But he hasn't even done anything yet."
  7. mvp 78
    Duran, Witherspoon and Early?

    Never listen to Boston talking heads. They get paid for bad takes and to upset people.

    Bernardino opens followed by Fitts.

    That's not enough for Ryan TBH.

    Clark had a 268 BA in the 80's. He was strictly an OBP guy, back when nobody talked about OBP. 3rd in BB's in the 80's behind Rickey and Dewey. 94 IBB's too!

    Clark's real sin is just looking like my dentist cosplaying as a Red Sox player in every picture I find.
  15. mvp 78
    I figured out why he stunk with the Red Sox. He started holding the bat the wrong way while with the Sox. What an idiot!
  16. mvp 78
    In 91, he had a 947 OPS (146 wRC+) when they pushed him down to 6/7th for about two weeks. He had a very bad May, but was fine otherwise. In 92, he never really got going, but was seen as a lower order bat with Burks the Opening Day cleanup hitter and Brunansky leading the team with 95 starts at cleanup.

    Great food, beautiful women, but the city smells worse than any other city I've ever been to in my life, especially when it's warm out. The only other place I can remember its distinctive smell is when I stopped at the Great Salt Lake (combination of red tide in the Atlantic and a cow patties). 🤢

    And if you doubt the 1987 Fleer scouting report for Red Sox DH's, here's Andre Dawson's which looks very similar to Clarks:

    It is now, but wasn't back then. I don't think we could use problematic 1991 terms on here.

    You may have heard it. I just don't believe the Sox brought him in to be an RBI guy. I think they saw him as a professional RHB that would hit with power. From the back of his '87 Fleer card:

    League Average Baserunners Scored % while batter is up 14% Current Red Sox players below 14%: Rafaela Narvaez Hamilton Wong Garcia - no runners have been on for any PA
  22. mvp 78
    I'm just saying, you're original point was that he was ostensibly brought in back in the early 90's as an RBI guy. However, he never was a top RBI guy at that point. Nobody was talking about per 162 or really even looking at his walk rate. Lou probably saw his 25 HRs and liked the RHB for the Monster. Sox had moved on from Evans at DH and needed a replacement. After Clark's two years, they went and signed an aging Andre Dawson. At that point, the Sox just wanted RHBs for DH. Baylor to Rice to Evans to Clark to Dawson Lou just liked older RHB for DH it seems. When they signed a 30 year old Jose Canseco, it was while Duquette was GM.
  23. mvp 78
    Did he move him lower in the order because he was hitting better at cleanup than before? Why else would he move him lower?
  24. mvp 78
    Per 162 is meaningless. He played over 150 games 3 times in a 18 year career.
  25. mvp 78
    He had 62 RBI the year before. He only had 100+ RBI twice in his career. In the 1980's, he had almost 250 less RBI than Eddie Murray and 150 less than Dewey. His real skill was getting on base (389 OBP matched Tony Gwynn) and poking 25 HR's out every year. I don't think he even had one year where he was a top 10 RBI guy.
