I guess, if the rebuild is going on one more year, and we're looking for a 1-2 year guy, then okay, but we'd have to strike gold in many other areas to win in 2023 with Gallo as a FT'er.
-
Thaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh Yankeeeeeeeees Lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Not falling for it.
-
I'm not sure I'd rank any ahead of Haniger... maybe Conforto.
-
Agreed. Most likely never.
-
Shouldn't that be put in the 3rd person? You are slipping.
-
I'm not expecting much either, but Ferguson has some interesting numbers. We got 'em both in the Hosmer for Groome trade, so not much was expected.
-
I thought you called yourself the best poster.
-
I like the literal answer better.
-
Now, yes.
-
LOL. You only contradict yourself in discussions with me? Classic!
-
Yes, yes, yes, we know what history means to you with only certain players. Broken record.
-
I don't forget history.

None of the 4 prospects Bloom acquired at the deadline cracked the top dozen on the soxprospects.com's rankings list, but they did put up some impressive 2022 numbers: Enmanuel Valdez AA/AAA .296 28 107 (T 6th in RBI) .918 OPS (Only 2 players had a higher OPS and more PAs) Wilyer Abreu AA .247 19 73 (2nd w 114 BBs/ 3rd in runs scored w 106) 31 SB w 3 CS (.834 OPS- only 8 players had a higher OPS and more PAs) Max Ferguson A/A+ .214 7 60 (6th in SB w 61 w only 5 CS & 24th in runs, despite just 527 PAs) 8th in BB w 95 helped him to a .366 OBP Corey Rosier A+ .242 7 41 (.359 OBP w 40 SBs and 5 CS) .730 OPS Lots of nice OBPs and speed acquired.

Last year was last year. Forget about it!
-
notin's got the intangibles that Haniger only dreams of having.
-
Another might be Bellinger who has these career games started by position: 321 CF 214 !B 109 RF 37 LF
-
Except he started 57 games vs RH'd SP'ers and 43 vs LH'd starters. While the ratios of starters vs LH'd pitchers is much higher (43 out of 52) than vs RH's starters (57 out of 110), this doesn't look like a platoon, to me. He started more games vs righties than he did not start. He was a starter in 2019, not a sub. Not a back-up. Other years, maybe and yes.

That season, the Dodgers did seem to share the action among several players and play several players at multiple positions. I don't think doing that changes the fact that some players started and played in way more games than others and should not be called subs. Check this out... PAs at each position: C 228 Barnes 221 Martin 186 W Smith 1B 195 Muncy 139 Freese 119 Bellinger 92 Beaty 78 Pederson 9 Kike 2B 277 Kike 264 Muncy 78 Lux 59 Taylor 3B 521 J Turner 121 Muncy 3 Kike SS 534 Seager 133 Taylor 28 Kike LF 270 Pederson 124 Taylor 107 Beaty 73 Pollock 60 Verdugo 20 Kike CF 257 Pollock 232 Verdugo 86 Bellinger 72 Kike 49 Taylor RF 453 Bellinger 128 Pederson 68 Verdugo 29 Kike I suppose someone could argue the 2019 Dodgers had just 3 starters and 10 subs.
-
Yes, for many it does. Not Kike.
-
So be it. The Sox would probably not want to give up a pick to sign him, but if he's the best they can afford, maybe they would bite the bullet. (I think Haniger would take the QO.)
-
"Super starter?" "Multipositional starter?" "Flex starter?" Or just "full timer." He starts and plays in more games than others labelled "FT'ers" or "starters."
-
The worst part of calling him a "back-up," "sub" or "utilityman" is that he keeps following that up with some statement about him not "downing" Kike, when it is so obvious. He has a 13.5 bWAR over his last 2400 PAs (690 games), which comes to about a 3.3 bWAR over 162 games and 3.4 over 600 PAs While Kike is no stud, superstar or even a "star" player, he's damn good. He'd be a FT starter on just about every team in MLB.
-
I think lefties do pretty well in Fenway. It might hurt some HR totals, but many LH'd hitter do very well in Fenway. I never really thought of Nimmo & Haniger, with Kike going to SS, but that would be one way of allowing more resources to go towards pitching upgrades.
-
I was trying to think of someone better than Haniger but not as good as Nimmo, who can play RF and is a FA. Any suggestions?
