Obviously very small samples, but a .900 OPS is pretty good. KC and Grissom have done zero at the plate.
Good small samples are still better than bad small samples.
A 2.6 bWAR and 1.7 fWAR in the equivalent of half a season seems pretty good.
And just about every player has stretches of not hitting. The entire Sox offense didn't hit the last 6 weeks of the season.
Maybe he's being underestimated. Time will tell. But for now I'm on the DHam train. Fields the position well, great speed, and he can hit it out of the park. Seems like a nice combo to me.
I think as of today DHam is a runaway choice as Opening Day starter.
He had a 2.6 bWAR last year in half a season and he looks great in ST games. He's continuing to show some power, a solid plate approach and of course his speed is a given.
Not sure how he wouldn't be.
Looks like Hamilton all the way at this point. This guy refuses to take a back seat.
15 games, .900 OPS, 2 dingers, 5 SB's, 7 walks vs. only 6 K's. Only spring games but great numbers.
And when the information came out about Devers being promised by Bloom he would only be playing third base, what did Cora say? He said "that was under a different management". So obviously Cora felt like he needed to defend what the team was doing.
