Aside from the risk of losing the DH at some point in the game, what's bad about it? It's also just another option to get a bat in the lineup, not a requirement.
That site is for people that sniff their own farts. Pass.
Interesting that those same posters you reference were intrigued by the Cooper Criswell signing unlike other that complained about it when it happened.
Adequate for what? For a bench spot? Sure. For a starting spot? Depends on how he plays going forward. He's been in a little bit of a funk lately and that may continue. His OPS was really driven by a power surge that I don't think he can carry for very long.
The under the hood stuff just isn't very promising. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/david-hamilton-666152?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb Since June 14th, his OPS is only 529. He's most likely a bench guy if that. He had a nice little hot streak and needs more of those to stick around.
Defensive whiz Bobby Dalbec won the Sox MiLB defensive player of the year award in 2018 when he had 20 errors at 3B. The following year they started the transition to 1B.
He's so good that they keep moving him to LF. The minor league defensive awards are meaningless. Hamilton won an award last year. Devers won an award when he was with the Sox.
In the latest SP update, Dalvinson Reyes debuted at #43. He received a 450K bonus (largest pitching bonus this year).

A guy we may want to start keeping an eye on. Yes, DSL numbers don't mean all that much.

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.
