    If you can't block or frame, how are you getting the most out of your pitchers?

    If the defense is bringing the team down, is it any wonder? The team's part owner threw out advanced statistics in the offseason claiming that the Sox would have been a playoff team with an even average defense last year.

    Phillies Phanatic has a 4 wheeler. Wally does not have a 4 wheeler. If the Sox want to really be serious about winning at home, they need to get Wally a 4 wheeler.

    Maybe it's just YOUR word choice? I'd figure that a teacher would know that they are writing for the readers. Any confusion on the readers part is typically the fault of the author!

    I think O'Neill is ok in the OF. He has 3 DRS and doesn't seem to embarrass himself. Can play either LF or RF adequately. He's been a massive plus in the OF over his career. Refsnyder is just getting worse and worse as time moves on. He's a -4 DRS and really doesn't inspire any confidence in me. Really a LF only guy at this point. I know they tried him at 1b in ST, but it must have been a massive failure because they abandoned that quickly.

    @JeffPassan News: The Boston Red Sox and manager Alex Cora have engaged in recent talks on a contract extension, and there is momentum toward a deal, sources tell me and @Buster_ESPN. After months of silence regarding Cora's lame-duck status, a multiyear contract is a real possibility.

    I'd give you numbers on why it works, but wouldn't want to trigger you.

    I want a SS that can actually field adequately day in and day out.

    On the catching, McGuire has always been bad with the running game. Wong was good last season, but had some arm issues this Spring, I believe he's been getting better recently. Wong's blocking and framing is towards the bottom of the league and he's really going to be a backup catcher long term. McGuire is above average with his framing, but if he's not hitting he's going to be sent down the river.

    Eye test above replacement.
  11. mvp 78
    I'd rather plan C.

    O'Neill in COL vs LHP 5 - 6 (Blach, Beeks, Gomber) vs RHP 0 - 4 If they put in a LH reliever, O'Neill will be back in there.

    On the first point, you were the one who said he was bad on D. I thought he'd be adequate. He's playing SS at WOO due to the team's need, not because he's very good at it (18 starts at SS last season, 38 this season). He will definitely need to prove it at the next level. Part of the reason that he's so successful at AAA is that he uses the challenge system to his advantage. Maybe he'll be able to do that same in MLB when it's available in 2026?
  14. mvp 78
    Ok?
  15. mvp 78
    He has not been fine. 7 errors in 411 innings prorates to 22 over a full year. That's a bad Raffy Devers year. He's a bad SS even if you get past the advanced stats.
  16. mvp 78
    -5 DRS at SS, -8 OAA Rafaela should NOT be playing SS.
  17. mvp 78
    You made the complaint post hours upon hours AFTER the game was over. Complaining during the game is fine and expected. Going off the rails and having bad opinions the morning after is silly and bad.
  18. mvp 78
    More 2B than Campbell.
  19. mvp 78
    @Hunter_Noll Wikelman Gonzalez has hit 97 on the scoreboard radar a few times already. And that high-70s curveball has looked nasty. Not the best season so far, but the stuff is still there (and he’s looked better lately).
  20. mvp 78
    moon better realize that it's an afternoon game today...
  21. mvp 78
    Rafaela currently has a higher OPS than Verdugo. Rafaela 686 Verdugo 659
  22. mvp 78
    How so? Sox are tied for 9th in MLB in DRS.
  23. mvp 78
    Not good enough for some!
  24. mvp 78
    Campbell is really splitting time at 2B/SS/CF in POR for various reasons. He's not a fulltime 2B.
  25. mvp 78
    I actually think his defense is ok. He's not a SS, but he's good enough to fake it at 2b/3b in the bigs as a UTIL type guy. His power is on par with Marty Barrett but with more walks. Just not enough doubles to really keep him super relevant. He'll get on base, but isn't a speed guy.
