Not sure you could find many people lauding Farrell in 2013. Cora showed that he was a very good manager. He needs to win another WS before he can step in Tito's shoes though.
Clutch catch. Mid difficulty. I would agree with that. It's not a 10 out of 10 catch except for the moment. Easily forgettable if it's game 32 in Minnesota, unlike some of these other catches.
JBJ had higher DRS in 2014, the same DRS in 2016 and 17 but with higher OAA. After this year, Kiké's 2021 may be the 5th best CF season for the Sox since Lynn left.
It's why Coco Crap was diving for things that were barely in the gap that JBJ would have had while on his feet. JBJ was smooth as hell. Rafaela has a little bit of those instincts and has only played the OF since 2021. In the DSL/GCL, he was a MIFer only. He's just going to get better from here on out.
They basically swapped Fernandez for Slaten in Rule 5. We'll see how well Fernandez does for STL. So far, he only has one appearance (1 IP, 3 K, 1 H, 1 BB).
And there's still room for improvement at 2B when Grissom takes over. Valdez is absolutely brutal over there. If Grissom could be average, it would make a big difference for this ballclub.
