    Ted Williams should have played CF. What were they thinking?
  2. mvp 78
    All those Royals teams in the 80's were foolish to have George Brett stuck at 3b TBH.
  3. mvp 78
    I don't see the offense dropping off all that much at all, if any. Contreras replaces Bregman. Durbin will outhit last year's 2b. As long as the other players don't fall off, they should be fine.
  4. mvp 78
    Rafaela is going into his age 25 season this year. Duran's age 25 season was '22 where he had a 77 wRC+ and was pretty bad. Rafaela has steadily improved each year since being called up. There's a nonzero chance Rafaela hits as well as Duran does this season.
  5. mvp 78
    Higher OPS because HE HITS DINGERS.

    Why would they bench their AS RFer?
  8. mvp 78
    Nope. Duran, the worst of the 4 OFers, will either be DH'ing or on the bench. You don't throw Contreras to C if he hasn't worked with the pitchers all year. Would be crazy to do in the ALCS.
  9. mvp 78
    I think he'll be a 3 WAR player with 20+ HR this season. His OPS will go back to around 825ish.
  10. mvp 78
    Likely? Hard to say. Bregman could be more likely to miss half the season than Contreras.
  11. mvp 78
    In '24, he had his highest OPS since 2019. Did you expect it to increase again or go down? C'mon man...
  12. mvp 78
    Bullpen.
  13. mvp 78
    I think he's just quoting theoretical Sammy, not stating fact.
  14. mvp 78
    If Duran had so much trade value, why haven't the Sox been able to unload him. Per reports, they are fielding calls all day about Abreu and Rafaela, not about Duran.
  15. mvp 78
    Abreu and Anthony both had higher OPS than Duran last season. Both are younger with more control.
  16. mvp 78
    It's not disrespectful to state that Duran should be traded since he's the 4th best OFer on the team and the Sox need the roster space. It's not like I'm saying they should option him to AAA. Restock the farm by trading Duran. He has a ton of trade value. Go get some great prospects.🫠
  17. mvp 78
    If so, they should trade Duran since he has so much trade value!!! Stock up on those prospects!!! Rafaela is a better fit for this team than Duran who can only play LF and isn't as good as Abreu or Roman.
  18. mvp 78
    Plans change. Contreras will stay at 1b.
  19. mvp 78
    He's not a good catcher and never was. He's a good fielding first baseman.
  20. mvp 78
    It's worse on a 26 year old (Gen Z). If he was a Millenial, he'd already be downtrodden enough to suck it up and push through. Now, if he was 46, he would have still been old enough to drink water from the garden hose, have his parents pump leaded gas and get his brain scrambled by a metal merry-go-round. At that point, you should just treat him the way Papi treats a dugout phone.
  21. mvp 78
    With Marte, he plays 2b for 2-3 years and then transitions to 1b for the end of the contract. Not the end of the world IMO.
  22. mvp 78
    He should have been a DH in '25. After his injury, he's definitely a DH going forward. Probably worse than Alonso over there now.
  23. mvp 78
    They said Contreras isn't catching.
  24. mvp 78
    Rice started 26 G at C as a 26 year old. I doubt he'll be doing that in his 30's. He is also terrible at catching (2.07 poptime is 2nd worst in MLB).
  25. mvp 78
    #2 applies to the Sox. They don't have a 1B aside from Contreras.
