Grissom is a goner. Hamster I'm not sure about, he manages to stick around and he has flashes of being a decent player. He has a 3.5 bWAR in less than a full season's play.
His back of the card offensive numbers stink, that is for sure.
A lot of people wanted a first base bat to replace Toro for quite a while.
The fact is they lost a huge bat in Devers and did next to nothing about it.
Hate to say it but if the Sox miss the playoffs Craig is going to take a ton of heat for not doing more for the offense after trading Devers. We ended up in a position of counting on Anthony a bit too much and then we got a bad break.
It's not really weird. Both veterans on short term deals, great for stretches and not so great for others (baseball being the humbling grind that it is) and fans being the fair weather friends they are...nope, not weird, totally predictable in fact.
