As of right now he isn’t even nearly acceptable with a bat. The only thing I can relate to is what is right now. Maybe Rafaela will improve offensively (I certainly hope he does); maybe he won’t. As of right now he’s awful.
-
I wouldn’t put it past this pen to blow the lead
-
Houck was an all star too and quite a surprise. Second place.
-
He’s probably the brightest spot on the team this year. There are others: Casas, Wong, Houck etc Obviously they need to fix their pitching to become relevant again. And I don’t think we have much in the minor league to help out. Let’s see if Henry opens his purse to obtain good TOTR pitchers this winter.
-
If you are arguing that when he was good Bradley was much better overall than what we have seen in Rafaela I’d agree. But when he started to suck with a bat they were the same-unacceptable.
-
Unfortunately ALL the ABs count. There’s no reason for a pitcher to EVER throw him a strike.
-
I don’t care about Blair. He was never on the Sox.
-
Those figures are proof that stats aren’t everything. Bradley was a pleasure to watch in the OF too. He rightfully got jettisoned when he started to suck with a bat in his hands. Hey-I hope Rafaela reaches the level of “acceptable” offensively. He’s not there. He’s not even close.
-
Good defense is mandatory. As is being able to hit the baseball
-
Not am I! I’m a realist. As I’ve written here many times there is a good nucleus of young players on the team but without a helluva lot of better pitching the team will continue to suck.
-
Yup i guess you’d have to say Rafaela is worse than Bradley. At least JBJ had some good streaks with a bat. Rafaela looks completely lost at the plate. I don’t see that becoming at an acceptable level.

Long long time
-
Do you know when his last BB was offhand? Or his OBP? Or his K/BB ratio? If those don’t improve he needs to go.
-
When was his last BB? He has no clue where the K zone is. He’s basically useless with a bat in his hands. No credit for where he stands among rookies. He’s JBJ reincarnated.

Rafaela IS my girlfriend 😬
-
Idiot Duran. More bs little league baseball. It makes the team unwatchable and there’s been a lot of it this year.
-
When was the last time Rafaela walked?
-
At this rate we’ll never catch the Jays.
-
There are several moves they should have made weeks ago
-
Another echo chamber outta here its safe for everyone else to return
-
Only true die hard fans are left here (me) 😉
-
Crawford has had a couple of decent seasons as a lower tier SP. Probably a good guy to hang on to. ERA just over 4 both years.
-
The Twinkies are self destructing
-
Hilarious! Thats the only way he would ever get on base
-
Rafaela will K
