Devers was a year younger than Cespedes at each level, a much larger human being and producing at a farily high level. He also stayed healthy unlike Cespedes and Bleis.
Bello, Fitts and Dobbins have only started 7 games total. We're already on the 7th turn through the rotation.
BOS is 7th in reliever fWAR, 14th in starter fWAR.
He's 24. When JBJ was 24, he had an OPS+ of 49 for 127 games. I think we can give him time.
He had an OPS+ of 83 last season as a 23 year old. We were fine with JBJ having a 90 OPS+ from 17-19.
Since he has show signs of improvement in some phases of his hitting, you need to give him time for the numbers to catch up IMO.
Happy Birthday to former Red Sox: Eddie Bressoud, Jarrod Saltalamacchia (spelled correctly the first time), Erasmo Ramirez, Bill Piercy, Ralph Brickner
I'm sure everyone here remembers Erasmo Ramirez's stint as a Red Sox. I sure did!
