I just couldn’t back Arroyo at the time given his limited sample and even more limited success...
-
Cordero has never had 160 PA in a season. He really doesn't have a history. Renfroe is a weak side platoon role player. I do think Duran will get a shot this year, but until then the answer might best be either Hernandez in CF, Verdugo in RF and platoon Renfroe and Cordero in LF with Arroyo at 2B. Or at a bare minimum, platoon Renfroe with Marwin Gonzalez in LF. The only actual potential OF in the Sox system above A ball is Duran, with the possible exception of an AAAA type like Gettys or Puello. Or Munoz, who is just another versatile utility player who possesses the skill to play 7 positions equally poorly. Options are pretty limited internally...
-
Of course, Mookie never took a year off for pandemic reasons...
-
Hey if Barnes is going to give up a three-run home run, best he do it when protecting a 4 run lead...
-
I think some fans forget Duran didn’t play outfield until late in the 2018 season, played there regularly in 2019, and then didn’t have a 2020...
-
After only 9 IP, do we even know what the first Whitlock is?
-
Well getting a prospect you like without giving up anything can be tricky...
-
Not to mention, Cora did not sign the versatile players...
-
Well, they have no bench and the players on it they do have don't have regular positions. The versatility has caused an inordinate amount of juggling...
-
I'd rather just see the outfielders have one position they can call their own. You wouldn't move infielders around based on the ballpark they're in...
-
And many have pegged Cordero as a platoon option who cannot play defense, but he is only 8 months older than Arroyo...
-
If that's your memory of Kevin Brown, how does that comparison look now?
-
Last night's night big issue was the walks. Sox pitchers walked 7 hitters and 5 of them scored, which is a ridiculous percentage. They also only gave up only 3 hits - all extra base hits - and two of them scored...
-
What Cordero and Renfroe are is stopgap outfielders while this team puts some semblance of a talent base behind them. Maybe Bloom has a bigger picture in mind with Cordero, but I am not certain he was the key part of the Benintendi deal, and I think the PTBNL from the Mets was more what he had in mind...
-
THe same could be said about Cordero. Both players debuted in 2017, and both playes have exactly one season with at least 100 PA's. Now, Cordero does have another season with 99 PA, and has more PA overall. But we are still talking about players who came here with less than 300 PA's or less spread out over 4 seasons...
-
Ottavino has been a flop thus far, but if this team is to stay in contention, his return to form is essential...
-
Well, that's more than I can say about Jack the Giant Slayer...
-
I'm ok with that. I'm not real high on Arroyo given his career to date, but 1) there is no obvious better solution and 2) his limited playing time so far has shown no reason to not start him...
-
His 18/14 K/BB ratio leaves a lot to be desired...
-
Another thing we can all agree on is that the 2021 Yankees might be the worst use of $200 million since Jack the Giant Slayer...
-
Correct. 2001-02. You see them a lot now. Frankly, I find it appalling that the NBA disallowed zone defense but somehow permitted the appallingly boring Triangle Offense. I'm typically not one for outlawing a strategy, but if there is anything in any sport that just needs to be banned and all infractions hit with severe penalties anywhere from being locked in a room full of hungry crocodiles to removing body parts with carpentry tools, it's f***ing Triangle Offense...
-
I heard of Jagger Rusconi, but only because of Bellhorn's "Fun with Baseball Names" thread...
-
I know. We don't have to change everything. And the only things we all agree on are 1) Josh Taylor needs to go to Worcester very quickly, 2) Hunter Renfroe need not face RHP, and 3) any beer purchased at the ballpark tastes like a melted candle. Other than that...
-
At some point, defending the status quo is part of the conversation...
-
Hey, it’s possible. I agree, not likely. But possible...
