    DRS are largely a function of innings played, so having 4 DRS in just 669 innings is way better than 18th. I'm not sure where he is ranked 18th in. He's 3rd on fangraph's standard D page and 13th in fangraph's advanced page, again where total innings help or hurt. 12th in DRA with 4 14th UZR/150 2021-2022 4th in DRS (18) 6th standard 5th Advanced 7th UZR/150 If you figure DRS/innings, he'd have ranked 2nd in MLB out of all 31 CF'ers with 900+ innings in CF from 2021 to 2022.

    I'm thinking he should end up around the middle of the pack among SP'ers by the end of the season. The problem is, we likely need him to be a solid #2 or 3, and he's more like a 3/4.

    So, is this how the rotation might be stacked up? 3/30 Kluber v BAL 3/31 Off 4/1 Sale v BAL 4/2 Houck v BAL 4/3 Crawford v PIT 4/4 Pivetta v PIT 4/5 Kluber v PIT (+1 day of rest 4/6 Whitlock? (starts w Woo 3/31) or Sale? @DET 4/7 Off 4/8 Whitlock or Sale (+2 days of rest) or Crawford @ DET 4/9 Crawford (+1) or Houck (+ 2 days of rest) @ DET Game scheduled everyday until April 27th.

    When the sound died, that was the best audio of the day.

    One could say any Sox player in their prime or nearing it might or could have a "career year" in 2023, especially lefty hitter normally hurt by the shift. Pre-prime: Houck, Crawford, Wink Casas, Devers Prime: Pivetta, Schreiber, Kelly Yoshida, Kike, Arroyo, McGuire, Wong, Refsnyder, Chang, Tapia Post: Sale, Kluber, Martin, Jansen, Brasier, Bleier Turner, Duvall

    1. Verdugo RF 2. Devers 3B 3. Turner DH 4. Yoshida LF 5. Duvall CF 6. Casas 1B 7. Arroyo 2B 8. McGuire C 9. Kike SS SP: Kluber IMO, we should have our likely OBP leader bat 1 to 3 and not 4th. I wonder, if we will keep Dugo batting first vs a lefty, or will they move Kike or Arroyo to #1

    Can we get Papi to at least PH for us, today?
  8. moonslav59
    He's in pace for over 325 HRs!!!
  9. moonslav59
    Play Ball! Am I the only one who thinks Kike and his bright green shoes looks out of place?
  10. moonslav59
    Arroyo? (Valdez to 2B?) Hamilton? lmao!
  11. moonslav59
    We needed a SS expected to be ready on opening day, yes.
  12. moonslav59
    Good point, here. I will add that one could view it as a dice roll in that they rolled the dice on spending big on him vs Bogey.
  13. moonslav59
    Agreed. It was shocking, to me, to see what these guys have been being paid.
  14. moonslav59
    I get that I read too much into the point being not about games played but about games played at specific positions. I just see Turner as always being a FT players, and playing DH provides more experience and 2022 action than almost anyone. Yes, Dugo barely played RF. The 2020 team was awful from day one- on paper and in reality. The 2023 team is not, on paper. I'll leave it at that.
  15. moonslav59
    It's not that he didn't say great, and you know that.
  16. moonslav59
    It was still a valid opinion, at the time, and it's fine to still believe we should have 4 OF'ers not 5. BTW, I don't think I ever said "they would." I said "they should." It's just plain untrue and "wrong" to say Kike is not a good defensive CF'er or that Othani is the worst player in MLB.
  17. moonslav59
    Opinions can be categorically wrong. Absurd opinions may be discussed or debated as much as people want, but to me, some obviously wrong opinions being discussed is a waste of time. When I say "end of discussion," I am just giving my opinion that the topic is not worthy of discussion. Others may continue arguing the merits of absurd positions all they want. They may also parrot absurd positions and then say, Let's move on" all they want, too. To each his own. To me, it's absurd to think the opening day 2020 roster looked better than the this 2023 roster. People can disagree all they want. Now, if Sale and ERod had been healthy in 2020, the comps would be much closer, but that 2020 team was not like 2018, despite having some of the same players.
  18. moonslav59
    GMs who sign Injured or injury prone players have always been criticized. I think it is valid. Saying "everyone except Bloom knew" he'd go on the 60 day IL is just plain untrue.
  19. moonslav59
    Since Story was known to be out to start the year, I do think the hopes were that he'd be an early option at SS- likely not opening day, but I don't thin Bloom or anyone expected a 60+ days wait. Can or should Bloom be blamed for not knowing or "guessing wrongly?" Maybe- maybe not. I do think the team would be better with Mondesi at SS and Kike in CF (or 2B, if Duvall does well.)
  20. moonslav59
    And opinions can't be wrong?
  21. moonslav59
    Be consistent with the criteria. Turner played 66 at 3B, but he is the DH for us. Chavis played 49 at 1B in 2019, but he counts more than Turner at DH? Dalbec played 0 at 1B in MLB in 2019. I think some over-hyping about the 2020 opening day everyday players is occuring.
  22. moonslav59
    Didn't you write "age 27?"
  23. moonslav59
    Certainly, we all knew Mondesi might not start the year on the 26, but not many felt he'd be on the 60. To say "everyone knew" is either gross exaggeration of something worse.
  24. moonslav59
    Kike was mediocre on D in CF?
  25. moonslav59
    Turner played a full season, as did Yoshida- just not for the Sox. Casas played more in 2022 than Dalbec did in 2019.
