He needs to keep it up. I'm not going to be all in on a guy just because of one hot stretch. He's going to cool off at some point. What does that look like? Does he go back to 500 OPS month to month or 700 OPS?
He's using both Teacherman (Judge) and Gradum (Narvaez's coaches). Hard to say who he is leaning on more, but Gradum is showing up prior to games to watch him hit batting practice while Teacherman is not.
Anthony had only played in half of one MLB season. Why would Breslow assume he'd be injured in the next season if he had no previous injuries in MiLB?
You can make the case for Story, but not Anthony.
The specific projection that was weird was "no Sox player would reach 20 HR."
They currently have 3 guys that could probably get there and that's with Roman Anthony on a season long IL.
I don't think Breslow will be able to pull it off. He is also in the mode of "if we can just string some wins together." Sox need to realize it's a lost season and look towards building for 2027 and beyond.
That's the real issue, right? He was so lousy for almost two months that the Sox are 13 games under .500 IN JUNE!!! He was hitting 530 at the end of May.
