Yes, and Victor Diaz has not pitched any this season- so far.

Fair enough.

Moncada's K rate in AA last year was 31%. His K rate in AAA this year is 26%. Jeff Todd wrote this today: White Sox GM Rick Hahn shot down the idea that top prospect Yoan Moncada will push his way onto the MLB roster early this year, as Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports. All signs are pointing up for Moncada, who has tamped down on the strikeouts while showing signs of polishing up his defensive game. But that doesn’t mean the club is prepared to make an aggressive promotion. “He’s shown a fair amount of progress in each of those areas that we’ve asked of him,” said GM Rick Hahn. “That said, we want to see that over an extended period of time. It’s awfully important to not lose sight of the fact this is a 21-year-old player, one who was not playing two years ago as of right now. It’s a guy who has fewer than 325 or so plate appearances above A-ball.” Given that, says Hahn, the club won’t “rush” Moncada’s ascension.

No way would I have the same star ranking for Sale and Kimbrel (or Porcello & Kimbrel). How can you have Sandoval with more stars than Price? If you based it on reputation at the time of the acquisition, Price would be 5 and maybe Sandy a 3. If it's in hindsight, Price would be 2-3 and Pablo negative 5. Why rank Pablo and not HRam?

The Mets scored 23 in ONE GAME! Seattle 19 & 12. Wash 17 & 12. Cincy 12 & 12.
-
I do think we'll be seeing more runs scored from here on out- with a couple small team slumps thrown in here and there.
-
My guess is most team's stats are greatly helped by 2-3 games- not just the Sox. The only difference was we had our 2 big games later than others.
-
That's always how I felt. I, however, trust management to know when a player has the fundamentals down enough not to embarrass himself.

All words stolen from other (different) languages.

...and just like that, we're suddenly... 15th in runs scored (5 runs from 13th) 11th in SLG (.006 from 10th place) 4th in OBP (.003 from 3rd place) 8th in OPS ,002 from 7th and .006 from 6h place) 7th in wRC+ (2 away from 5th place) 6th wOBA at .328 (.002 from 5th place) 13th WAR at 3.8 (.02 from 12th) (15th in UZR/150 at 0.0) (11th in DRS at +4) Pitching: 3rd ERA- at 84 (2 from 1st) 4th WAR at 4.5 (.02 from 3rd) 5th xFIP at 3.64 3rd k-BB% at 17.7%

And then some...

Nothing like a couple games with the twinkees to wake up the bats!

Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?
moonslav59 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He could just be a streaky hitter about to enter a red-hot streak. -
To me, he's still not even a plus defender at SS. I always doubted his power, and I felt like he'd be a good #2 hitter, at least until he "proved" he had power. I'm still not against the idea of him playing 3B, but we have no better SS at the moment, and Devers looks like he's on track for the long term 3B position. He's not worth $20M to me either, at this point.
-
Let's hope this is a sign of our offense coming and staying "alive"!

Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?
moonslav59 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I am firmly against trading JBJ. -
You mean right before he gets red hot?
-
Seems like no matter who we put at 3B, they make errors.
-
3 innings is longer than I trust Kendrick.
-
I would have gone with Workman over Kendrick anyways, so I'm ready to switch now. I'd give Workman 3-4 starts, at least, and if he fails, I'd try Johnson, assuming he's still doing well on the farm between now and then.
-
Some notable farm numbers: OPS (50+ PAs) 1.120 M Chavis 1.103 A Tavarez 1.045 Ockimey .995 T-W Lin .958 T Matheny .956 R Devers .922 J Witte .887 A Rei OPS against (23+ Innings) .526 S Anderson .543 L Boyd .653 R Sexton .583 B Johnson .585 D Hernandez .614 T Lakins .620 H Owens .690 Stankiewicz
-
On defense the outfield is pretty good although Betts is clearly the only bonafide gold glover because, let's face it, JBJ's arm is strong but erratic. All three have good range. JBJ is currently 5th in UZR despite the fact that he has played 60-120 less innings than the 4 guys ahead of him. He's GG caliber, and although he makes some bad throws, many runners don't even try to take an extra base off him.

He's only a plus fielder at 2B- our position of least need. We should have traded him while his stock was higher. With Hernandez, Devers and Travis all knocking at the door, it's time to change the old guard out.
