If you have a guy with a monster bat, it's not an issue at all. Just needs to be a middle of the order guy.
-
Big Papi and Ohtani hit the piss out of the ball, Masa does not. Seems pretty explanatory to me.
-
They tried 1B. He's short and also not good at 1B.
-
Add him in the winter.
-
What I'm saying is that this depth today for the near future is better than they have had in recent memory.
-
Torgo's family and friends would get together and watch it from time to time. Aside from that, I doubt anyone else would.
-
In the latest SP update, Dalvinson Reyes debuted at #43. He received a 450K bonus (largest pitching bonus this year). 16 IP 0.00 ERA 0.62 WHIP 17 K 2 BB A guy we may want to start keeping an eye on. Yes, DSL numbers don't mean all that much.

Mayer Story Hamilton Valdez Grissom Campbell Yorke Meidroth Paulino I've seen much worse depth in recent years from the Sox up the middle. They are getting there and two of these bums should work out.
-
Ole mister silk hands he was. Manos de seda. I'd take Manos: the Hands of Fate over Mario Mendoza TBH.
-
It's been a lefties doubles park going back to the 40's.
-
The point should be that everyone should play DH and probably just not default to one guy that can't field OR hit.
-
Fenway is just a very weird ecosystem. They messed it up by adding the 406 Club (or whatever it is called now) which reduced HR's and doubles drastically. However, when they put they put the Monster Seats in, HR's went to about league average and doubles skyrocketed back to what they used to be.
-
Maybe how the OFers are shifted against LHB allowing Monster doubles (rather than having a CF shifted closer to LF helping to hold a runner at 1b) plus there's a big open RF for lefties hitting with authority to leg out doubles.

7/10 A's @ Boston, 7:10 pm

He's almost 3 years younger than Duran. -
Mario Mendoza was a career 507 OPS, FYI.
-
That was the issue with the Sox going all in on unproven Yoshida. If he didn't really hit, his poor defense was going to really sink the contract. Having him as DH only now is a killer.
-
Fenway is a better hitters park for lefties than righties. It has a 112 factor for LHB and 104 for RHB. It's the #1 doubles park for lefties by far. That's not the case for righties.
-
Well that won't work for the playoffs, now will it?
-
Being 30, you wouldn't attribute the decline completely to age either. IDK. Not watching him day in and day out so only can comment on the metrics and not the EYE TEST.
-
I clearly said "backup SS (to) bring in for the 8th and 9th inning." His bat is fine on the bench and in a limited sample against tough lefties (733 OPS vs LHP). Mueller only started 6 games in 2004 hitting 9th. 8th - 182 PA 2nd - 141 PA 7th - 88 PA 9th - 27 PA
-
Cespedes was eligible to come off the IL today, but is still not in the Salem lineup. He has not played since being called up from FCL. Let me do some research and see what's going on.... @BGlobeSports Yoeilin Cespedes, one of the top prospects in the Red Sox system and in the midst of a standout season, has a broken hamate bone in his left hand that will likely require surgery. Oh...
-
I could have sworn he was already DFA'd this year or we had at least discussed him. He has the same fWAR as Rafaela. As a backup SS, they could do a whole lot worse IMO! Even if he's a guy you bring in for the 8th and 9th inning, it'd make sense to have him on the bench a la Pokey Reese.
-
Yes and most likely.

95.7 mph, 91', xBA 370 98.8 mph, 339', xBA 470 87.0 mph, 314', xBA 060 Total xBA of 300 vs 667 BABIP. Unstainable BABIP!

No chance. He's signed through 2026 and is actually a good player.
