On the current roster, maybe Marwin Gonzalez. (But I’d just let Renfroe hit away on his own.) Also possible it’s Franchy Cordero. But the Sox would then need a CF. (Bradley? Pillar?). Or a RF (Puig?) with Verdugo in CF. Or maybe someone not yet on the roster. Brett Gardner? Josh Reddick? Corey Dickerson? Nick Markakis? Tyler Naquiin? Or maybe they just sign Yasiel Puig, plug him in LF and move Renfroe to the bench...

Wait! They’re different people!?!!?
-
I think you mean 318 wins. And were they better than the ‘72-74 Oakland A’s, a team that only won 277 games but actually won three World Series titles as opposed to going 1-2?
-
I’d love Odorizzi and Gardner, but I’d settle for Porcello and Pillar. And I’ll probably get none...
-
Well, Duquette wasn’t that bad with big signings, like Manny and Damon. And of course he traded for Pedro. And even Offerman - a signing I hated at the time - was not so bad. But DD just seemed to ignore South/Central American pitching in favor of Asian pitching. Not sure why given the repeated failures...
-
OPS+ says there is not much difference between Benintendi (107) and Renfroe (106)...
-
Maybe. The Rays, the Jays and the Sox are all pretty flawed teams. If the Yankees can stay reasonably healthy, they might be able to walk to the finish line...

Well, as this is a team, I need multiple cars, So I can take this old, broken down F1 car, and blow my budget fixing it up, knowing it is going to decline in performance in it's 30's. Meanwhile I have no money left for any faster, younger, newer cars? Hmmm. And what do I do if the F1 breaks down faster than this analogy?
-
Wily Mo Pena is certainly a possibility from Cordero. For the Sox, Pena had a .779 OPS (97 OPS+) with 16 HRS in 438 PA. Of course, those numbers also bear a striking similarity to what Benintendi gave the Sox in his last full season of 2019 (.774 OPS / 100 OPS+, 13 HRs in 615 PA). So how much of a step down from Benintendi will Cordero be, if one at all? (And will the 4 other players make up the difference or just be flat out bonuses?) Hassler only pitched 46 innings for the Sox. High 4.96 ERA but a 2.70 FIP. It helped that he gave up no home runs in a Sox uniform, something I would not expect from Pivetta if he holds a rotation spot...
-
And yet he remains unsigned...
-
The Jays strike me as being like the 2008 Tigers - a team everyone looked at the lineup that included a recent acquisition in Miguel Cabrera, and figured they'd easily score 1,000 runs and cruise to the AL Central title. And they promptly started out 0-7 on their way to finishing in last. My expectations of the Jays next year are tempered...
-
No. Cordero was a starter who was injured twice, which is actually impressive to jump to the front of the line of a pretty good slew of young outfielders they had in SD at the time. Calling him a spare part is like calling JD Drew a spare part. The thing about Cordero is, right now the best comp I can think of is Nick Johnson - a very talented player who just could not keep it on the field...
-
I'd settle for a Jays' one. Hey they took Payamps; they're more desperate for pitching than the Sox...
-
So now what is he going to wear?
-
Also the Orioles but I am not sure that counts...
-
I’d be ok with that, despite that it might bump Nick Pivetta from the rotation and I am in the minority of fans who were excited to acquire Pivetta...
-
Oh vey! Not mussugganah!
-
And then there is Rick Porcello, who earned (not was projected for, actually earned) 1.7 fWAR in a 60 game season in 2020...
-
Too late. I thunk it. And I like the idea of taking in the fallen Stormtrooper and finding out he’s not truly evil. Did you not root for Finn in The Force Awakens???
-
Ortiz only player in over 120 twice in Minnnesota, in 2000 and again in 2002. Of the 255 games he played in those two seasons, he started only 196 of them. 196 starts in two non-consecutive seasons is really not a full time starter. He looks to have been a strong side platoon player given how few starts vs LHP...
-
Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?
notin replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He still needs to prove something in the minors at some level above A ball and in more at bats than one gets in the AFL or a Caribbean series... -
2013 and 2016 are the only real anomalies. Half the AL had an OPS of .800 or more vs Boston in 2014 and 2015...
-
But he is not a bum. There might be legitimate heath concerns, however...
-
Betts drew 1 intentional walk last year. Batting in front of Corey Seager (.943 OPS) and Cody Bellinger will do that...
-
It turns out he hits the other 28 teams just as well, as the stats support. Not to mention we as fans tend to remember one big hit over a bunch of noiseless out...
