  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. Did he move him lower in the order because he was hitting better at cleanup than before? Why else would he move him lower?
  4. Per 162 is meaningless. He played over 150 games 3 times in a 18 year career.
  5. 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.
  6. Clark -6.02 Clutch for his career per FanGraphs Also, he was a mid-30's guy by the time he got here. His first season was good. His second season was at least better than Masa is hitting this season.
  7. The last game he held a .400 batting average was game 8. That was 9 days into the season. Here's his batting order position to start the season: 6-6-7-5-6-7-7-7-7-6-6-7-6-7-6-7-7-9-7-6-5-6-6-7-6-7-7-6-6 When he was put into cleanup IN MAY, he hit 120 (335 OPS) from 5/4-5/28. That's why he was dropped in the order. He hit better when he was lower in the lineup, so Cora tried him lower in the order. After he was dropped in the order he hit 216 (647 OPS) from 5/30-6/18 which was an improvement. Cora made the right call apparently.
  8. Fried was great. Anthony struggled as hard as Garcia did.
  9. Chapman is too good. Probably wants to beat the Yanks every night.
