JD only plays the OF during inter league road games, which is going to continue as long as he keeps hitting and Duran isn’t going to take those limited innings away from him. The Sox don’t play Martinez in the OF for his glove. It’s possible the entire reason Duran is still in AAA is to “figure it out” defensively. He can do that in Worcester. In fact, he’ll do it faster there…

Fangraphs did an article on them some years ago. Back on BDC, when I used to recommend certain lesser known players I hoped the Sox would get (Hidden Gems, as I called them) one of them was Miles Mikolas, who was pitching in Japan at the time, but I liked him based on his elite spin rates. Of course, their article was about spin rates on curveballs…

Maybe the issue is solely defense? Duran has played just over 200 games in the outfield in his minor league career after playing infield for the majority/entirety of his college career and possibly his high school one as well. And not everybody who converts to outfield takes to the position as quickly and effectively as Mookie did. Does this team need any more questionable defenders?

Just rolls this thread title into one convenient position…
-
Welcome to first grade!!!
-
Well, he could be. In his first 92 PA, the more highly regarded Jarred Kelenic post an OPS+ of 9. Yes, 9. Even Santana has an OPS+ of 32….
-
Only a little shorter in very specific instances. Not like every game before the rule change involved bringing in a reliever to face 1 or 2 hitters with less than 2 outs….
-
Not a rental, but certainly an option. BTV gives him roughly the same trade value (4.5) as Groome (4.3). Do you pull that trigger?
-
Probably for the best then, because I don’t think it has any effect on pace of play…
-
Then why did they enact three new (and less effective) rules to achieve the same result?
-
Sadly he’s still probably the best of the potentially available rental options. Unless you like CJ Cron and his Coors-inflated numbers this year (.618 road OPS)…
-
Which makes their ignorance of rule 5.07© very strange…
-
Maybe he’s pining for Fenway?
-
I disagree with that in principle. But I certainly see why it happens. Perfect example MLB rule 5.07© regarding pitch clock and pace of play…

2021 MLB draft

See what I mean? I keep hearing the Tigers top choice is Marcelo Mayer. Is it Leiter? Mayer? Jobe? Davis? No one really knows. I do think Leiter fails to reach the Sox. But I’m sticking with Rocker as their top choice. Sure some scouts are mildly souring on him (dropping from projected #1 to projected #7 is hardly an indictment of his skills), but Bloom needs raw talent pitching in the farm… -
I take it Dickerson was included to dump cash. The Blue Jays need more offense like the Red Sox need more utility infielders…
-
He’s 35 and only signed for 3 more months…
-
Chavis it is!!
-
It’s Mitchie Two-Bags!!
-
How did Joe Panik not make our names thread for players you wouldn’t want to sit next to at a party?
-
Eduardo Escobar to the White Sox is probably next…
-
So… Moreland? Are you on board yet?
-
Still surprised Boone has a job. I’d fire him today and bring in the extremely underrated Rick Renteria…
-
Which raises the question - just because a rule isn’t being enforced, is it acceptable to ignore it?
-
I don’t see any winning team making such drastic position changes…
