    2004 was the 29th ranked defense (Manny, Millar, Damon, Kapler, Nomar, McCarty, Mueller all had bad defensive seasons). You can win with a bad defense. You just really have to thread that needle.

    It's the recent history of halfassing a trade deadline/offseason: Two DH's! (Masa, Raffy) Logjam in OF Logjam at SS due to a bad contract Plan at 2b? Relying on the pitching coach to solve for a lack of talent in arms
  3. mvp 78
    He could be WORSE at 1B. We don't know!
  4. mvp 78
    I disagree and I'm not the only one. It's been theorized (again it is just a theory) by Section 10, SoxProspects and many others. At best, they goofed on calling him up and froze on the decision making process. I don't know which scenario is worse.
  5. mvp 78
    I think Abreu still should get most of the reps in RF. I'd platoon CF with Rafaela/Duran and plop Anthony in LF. I don't really want to play Rafaela all over the place. I think the team is kind of stuck at the moment. They probably need to trade a guy.
  6. mvp 78
    If he wins ROY for a team that is currently languishing below .500 because of their horrible starting pitching, it won't matter much. I'm more concerned about this team in '26 and beyond TBH.
  7. mvp 78
    It is why they took so long, to reduce his chances. What other reason? He was the most "ready" player available. He was more advanced than Campbell or Mayer.
  8. mvp 78
    Right now. I'm also just stating what happens if he does win the ROY and why it'd be bad for the Red Sox. Same for Mayer.
  9. mvp 78
    This early? No. 2014: Vaz, Mookie, Xander, JBJ. 1987: Burks, Benzinger, Marzano, Horn. I hope this group is better than the '87 group though.
  10. mvp 78
    He should have been up on Opening Day. 😎
  11. mvp 78
    If he wins the ROY, he gains a year of service time. That's a worst case scenario for the Sox.
  12. mvp 78
    A couple days before that, it was close to 600. He hit 4 HR in 7 games and it spiked up. It won't last.
  13. mvp 78
    You are alone on the island believing that Abreu is a weaker defender than Duran. There is not a scout in baseball that thinks this.
  14. mvp 78
    Who?
  15. mvp 78
    With Devers, he's sitting at the top of the dugout and glaring at his teammates while they are fielding (not a leader!). This is causing a lot of mental issues to play out on the field. The calculation of dWAR encompasses this problematic behavior from Raffy (bad hombre).
  16. mvp 78
    No, just spite.
  17. mvp 78
    Ewww, that's like the 6th worst position to hit according to the metrics.
  18. mvp 78
    RF at Fenway is tough for your first day in the bigs. 😖
  19. mvp 78
    I'm not saying they were all busts or anything, he would have just brought in a bunch of options to get innings out of. He was always churning the bottom of the 40 man. Breslow isn't really doing that as much.
  20. mvp 78
    If I ever see Breslow drinking WhistlePig, I'll have to disagree with this assertion.
  21. mvp 78
    He looks bad in LF, but I'd still put him in CF before Anthony because of his speed. Maybe his speed helps him out in CF catch up to flyballs that he gets bad reads on, but really hurts him in the shorter porched Fenway. Maybe it only makes sense to me that he could be a better CFer in Boston than a LFer.
  22. mvp 78
    They had Rafaela, Duran and Campbell ahead of him in the CF depth chart. I don't see why he'd play CF in AAA at all. That's just me though.
  23. mvp 78
    I see some fans getting an itchy trigger finger to call him up now, but he still needs more time in AAA. If he gets a shot in BOS, it'd be more than I expected for sure going back to last season. I had kind of written him off. His glove has gotten better and his bat has really come around this year.
  24. mvp 78
    Since Raffy made those comments: Toro 1033 OPS Raffy knew what he was doing. He was being a leader by lighting a fire under Toro's butt.
  25. mvp 78
    Have you seen how Toro has been playing? If Raffy moved to 1b, Toro would be in AAA. He did what was best for the team.
