Here's a question that's related: if we do sign JD Martinez this offseason, where does he play? Do we try to convert him to first base, or do we trade JBJ and move Mookie to center?
I must say Bogaerts' body language looked really good last night. He looked amped. Maybe he's finally feeling 100% health-wise again. We could really use some production from him.
It's a serious issue, I just don't know if there's any good answer to it. Resting him extensively is kind of hard to do when you're in a battle for the division and you already have Price injured and Porcello sucking.
Sale's arm seems fine. He's been throwing smoke all season.
The other theory, that the more teams see him the more they adapt to him, may be worth considering as an alternative explanation.
I think historical baseball statistics are excellent. Projections are a whole other story. It's been proven to the nth degree that nobody can predict s***.
