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...

Not to mention his struggles in AA ball... -
He posted a .829 OPS in 2019. Are you saying that was carried by his .837 OPS against the Red Sox that year? His career OPS is .743. His career OPS vs Boston is .741. History does not support your contention...

Do not want to bank on Duran in case he is still hitting .120 by the end of May and looks awful on defense? The smart move is to bring in a has-been or never-was and work Duran in when (not if, when) the injuries occur. -
Sporadic numbers spread out over to many seasons. 315 PA over 4 years wand 637 innings in the field at 3 positions in that same timeframe is not enough to draw any conclusion. It's not enough if it all happens in one year, but spread out over 4 when the player is in varying stages of development and health is nothing but inconclusive. If 315 PA was enough to make a call, we would be looking at Chavis as a 2B with a .795 OPS and 30 HR potential, which should be enough to carve his name in stone into the starting 2B role. And that was all from one year...
-
It seems sacrilegious to say, but Brett Gardner (829 OPS in 2019, .892 OPS vs LHP, 3.6 fWAR and always with good defensive metrics) also seems like a really good option for a LHH platoon with Renfroe. And hopefully he will want prove something to a certain team in the Bronx...
-
C: Vazquez 1B: Dalbec (Gonzalez) 2B: E Hernandez 3B: Devers LF: Corey Dickerson / Renfroe CF: Cordero RF: Verdugo DH: Martinez BN: Plawecki, Arroyo (plus aforementioned Gonzalez and Renfroe/Dickerson)
-
I think we know how 2B and CF are going to play out. Disappointed Miller was not the choice over Marwin, and Miller was he one guy I predicted Bloom to sign with absolute certainty. Oh well. I still think a LHH LF would be the best non-pitching addition. And while money will certainly be an object, I would love to see Corey Dickerson out there...

Cordero's metrics on Fangraphs are not impressive, but as they are only from 637 innings spread out over 3 positions and 4 years, there is really no conclusion to be drawn. Do we give equal or lesser weight to this? "Playing off his last strength, Cordero was also an elite defender in center field during his time in the major leagues in 2017. Going back to Baseball Savant, this time using Statcast’s catch probability metric, Cordero rates out very well, as he made all the catches rated from one-star difficulty to four-start difficulty, while failing to make his two five-star catch opportunities. In addition, Cordero was second-best in baseball by Statcast’s outs above average metric with an eight percent catch percentage added, meaning he caught eight percent more balls than he was expected to catch based on the degree of difficulty. It’s obviously a small sample size, but Cordero demonstrated more than enough success to show he could be an elite defender in center field going forward." from https://www.eastvillagetimes.com/pno-positives-negatives-outlook-franchy-cordero/
