Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?
FredLynn replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
In fact, its unlikely to be any one reason alone at all. For me the bottom line is that JBJ has to meet some sort of floor below which no amount of defense will justify his insipid presence in the lineup. His current line of .435/24 for OPS and OPS+ is well below what is acceptable. In the unlikely event that in June his numbers are like that I would be looking for an alternative, especially if the rest of the team is struggling offensively like last year. I think that if the rest of the team is doing OK I can live with an OPS of .680 or so. Much below that=REPLACEMENT! -
Our starters are better than theirs overall....the pen IMO is a wash. They do have a good pen, though they are not showing it tonight.
-
He just wants to go home. Can you blame him? Its f'ing freezing out there.
-
Nice job by Kelly in a high leverage situation.....oh wait.....
-
Or Bambi meets Godzilla......
-
Beating up on the Yankees is truly nirvana.
-
The Fat Lady has sung.....so do we leave Sale in the game now? I would think about taking him out.
-
There we go.....you can only hold down great hitters for so long.
-
One more run here please....JD is WAY overdue.
-
Missed the first pitch to Benny too....
-
Defensively there is no "good position" for him. He just isn't very good defensively anywhere.
-
Nunez has got to make that play. The entire infield defense is very shaky tonight.
-
LMAO....a two out single for Bradley.....good for him.
-
I think he is no better than the other umps I have seen. They all miss calls. Someone here commented that he hasn't missed any calls, but he has missed a bunch for both pitchers. Average performance IMO.
-
Missed pitch 1 to Judge too....that was a strike.
-
Nice hitting by Hanley.....JD will come through here.
-
Missed that strike, pitch 4..it was a strike.
-
The ump has missed several strikes thrown by Sale....I don't think he as been especially great. Small zone.
-
I don't ever remember the Yankees swinging at so many high fastballs.....
-
Take down the date....JBJ made contact.
-
He put a good swing on it....contrast that with Bradley who is missing by a foot and has no idea where the strike zone is. JD had the third best OPS for an OF with at least 200 PAs in all of baseball last year, ahead of Stanton, behind Trout and Judge. He will come around.
-
Benintendi owns Severino....even Hanley is getting into the act. Time for JD to contribute.
-
Thats because Bradley consistently sucks. The other two guys at least sometimes contribute with the bat. Bradley is as close to an automatic out as there is.
-
Bradley sucks...no idea of the strike zone. Automatic out.
-
Great. Guess who is up.....next inning please.
