Seems like “ Fitts” should be only part of his name. Where’s the rest of it? Should add “”Patrick” or “Gerald” or something.
Only us diehards left here on the forum. Everyone else-just fair weather fans 😉
The line between a “good” hitter and a “great” hitter is subjective. I don’t think he’s a great hitter either. I think there are only a handful of great hitters in baseball.
I am not impressed with the Sox medical staff over the years. Cora apparently said it’s a matter of pain tolerance, that he has an injury that isn’t likely to get worse.
But you could be right.
Let me put it this way: if he does have a shoulder injury he shouldn’t be playing.
Devers is a good hitter. He hasn’t been playing well for a long time, and that’s consistent with being injured.
