If you change one number it makes a perfect progression? Uh..........
.417 in '20
.546 in '21
.469 in '22
.444 in '23
Maybe that's the progression Bloom is going for?
Wouldn't they have Duvall's contract, Turner's contract, Kluber's contract, Kiké's contract and remaining cap space (assuming Devers uses Barnes/Bleier/Brasier/Tapia contract amounts)? That's closer to 35M to spend.
Oh, does he reach 650 often? What's the OPS this year? If he's a bad defender, why go for a guy with an OPS under 800? Weren't people trying to run Yoshida out of town and he's producing better than Renfroe?
That's fine. He's a good fit for a team that can field the ball. All I said is that a guy who gives up hard contact would not be best served with the Red Sox defense playing behind him. Is that wrong?
Braxton Garrett:
EV 15th percentile
Hard Hit 6th percentile
xERA 30th percentile
xBA 10th percentile
xSLG 23rd percentile
BRL 15th percentile
You're going to bring this guy to the Sox with this current defense? Yuck!
That's what people said LAST offseason. Does he actually get held accountable next year? His contract is up. He'll be a lame duck. Will they give him a one year extension?
