    Garcia isn't a CFer going forward. He's a corner OFer at the MLB level. He won't have the speed to play CF. If Rafaela is moved off CF, the only other option is Duran. After that, the true CFers are in GRE and lower: Taylor and Bleis (unless you need a one day call up for Sikes or Rosier).
  2. mvp 78
    That's why he should only be DH.
  3. mvp 78
    Looking at his 2020 season, I'm going to go with other factors. If there was a full 162 games that year, he may have had 37 errors at 3b. Nobody has had that kind of season since Butch Hobson and Darrell Evans in the 70's BACK WHEN FUNDAMETALS MATTERED BUDDY.
  4. mvp 78
    He's like 2023 Duran, but more GB than LD. Should have traded him at his peak value last offseason.
  5. mvp 78
    They'll do some sort of OF rotation to limit Roman's at bats so that he doesn't get ROY votes and earn a full year of service. 😬

    Good teams win. Mediocre teams play .500 ball. That's just where we're at.
  7. mvp 78
    Crochet or Dobbins, otherwise we're sobbing?
  8. mvp 78
    What does that matter? A loss is a loss. They are still far behind the other teams and have lots of ground to catch up. It's not like they'll automatically go 17-0 in the next 1 run games or project to be anything better than .500 in those. If anything, you should be fine with the "gut punches" if there are so many close losses. 🤔

    Anthony debuted after Campbell, Mayer AND Teel. I didn't have that on my bingo card. Offensively, he was the most ready of any of them. The only reason he wasn't on the Opening Day roster was because of a logjam and that's pretty dang stupid.
  10. mvp 78
    I agree with this. I'd prefer to keep Abreu, but if they can only get a good deal out of moving him then do that. Duran and Abreu are similar enough that it's more important to get Anthony in the lineup and figure it out from there if you really believe in Rafaela as the everyday CFer.
  11. mvp 78
    I agree. From Nomar complaining about the grounds crew to Papi yelling at the official scorer, the whole process stinks.
  12. mvp 78
    Duran has been straight up bad in LF. He has massively regressed. I don't know what's going on there.
  13. mvp 78
    Who would be the DH? My optimal roster construction still has Raffy at DH.
  14. mvp 78
    I don't think there are gut punch losses this early in the season for an under .500 team. It just doesn't seem possible.

    The problem with Bloom's draft strategy is that he picked HS bats that take longer to develop which just slowed the timing of providing help to the big club. He did a decent job of drafting and hoarding, but didn't help the BoSox and wasn't really great at identifying pitching.
  16. mvp 78
    Cora is not picking the players. All over this board, people are overstating what some of these players bring to the table. Duran is a 104 wRC+ guy right now (16th ranked LFer in MLB), but people say we can't possibly trade him. Why? What about his 745 OPS is untradeable? For a leadoff guy, his bb rate is 22nd for LFers. Yuck! Abreu has been a consistent performer every year he's been in the league. If you pair him with a weak side platoon bat (easy to find and maybe it's Jhostynxon), you're golden. It's similar with Houck. Everyone is mad at Bailey for ruining Houck. Houck wasn't very good before Bailey showed up. If it wasn't for Bailey, Houck would have never made the AS team. People thought Bello was going to be a #2. When he didn't end up being that guy, they had to blame anyone but the player. It makes no sense. Maybe just take a breath and stop overrating these guys? This team is fine, but they will be on the outside looking in of any sort of real playoff run without massive roster changes.

    And up to the pitchers' ability too.
  18. mvp 78
    He didn't have any sort of ST and struck out basically every at bat the first few games. It's safe to ignore those PA's at the moment.
  19. mvp 78
    They have stressed "pull Air" but haven't really done so. They are really just piling up the k's. It's a rollercoaster ride offense.
  20. mvp 78
    Or good luck
  21. mvp 78
    Narvaez has played A LOT. Sox need a better backup.
  22. mvp 78
    Bello ate his Wheaties
  23. mvp 78
    Wong slowed up at the end. Went to the dugout and ignored Cora. WTH?!?!?
  24. mvp 78
    Impossible right now
  25. mvp 78
    Shut up OB
