While his career numbers are certainly not enticing, Benintendi's OPS vs LHP this year is based on 11 plate appearances (8 ABs). I'd be very hesitant to make any judgments on that sample or take away his opportunities to develop that skill...

Yet you still argue physics with engineers? -
The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread

Very poor man's. Phillips was an OBP machine... -
Bad idea. Because JBJ would actually catch Bullwinkle and Rocky, just like he does everything else. ..

Does that mean you'd hang up on me too?

Exactly. Bradley isn't the best Sox CF ever and isn't the best defensive CF in baseball, or even in the AL East. But he is the best all around option for this team and starts in their best lineup. Whether you like his streaky hitting or not, this team is 8-1 when he isn't hitting. Imagine how good they can be when he is...

But a replacement for Bradley was what the post was about, specifically a replacement for Bradley if he performed at a certain level. The Sox best lineup right now features Bradley in CF. I don't see why people want to bench him in order to get more plate appearances for Mitch Moreland, who is barely a better hitter, all while weakening the team defensively in two outfield positions (but upgrading 1b defense).

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread

So... there was no element of randomness in their two losses to the Giants? Or in the win over Seattle? Didn't you see that catch by Jermaine Kearse? And you thought play was all skill? Ditto Tyree... -
It's ok. We don't need superstar hitters at every position.
-
So is JBJ such a bad hitter the thought is he could be replaced by a teenager in A-ball whose offensive skills are in question?
-
Maybe the Sox can dust off JJ Hardy...

I like the idea of keeping pitch counts, and raising the limits as the season progresses (independently for each pitcher). While certainly not true for every pitcher, it does seem like a lot of them are creatures of habit and like easy routines. Also, it's harder to find 6 good pitchers than it is to find 5, and that also limits the number of games impacted by your ace. I would rather not see Chris Sale get fewer starts just so Hector Velasquez can get more. ..
-
I guess, if you're trying to completely ignore someone else's point in order to substitute your own. He made a clear point that fielding percentage is not a good defensive metric. Because, you know, it isn't. ...
-
Also true. And certainly would have been nice. If that happened, It would have kept ERod down on the farm as depth, which would have worked out the same
-
Well one is injured and the other was juicing. Welcome to the top of the list, Sam Travis. ..
-
We spent or allowance on Chris Sale. Nothing to trade. Getting big name elite starters is great. But those guys fill a different role and aren't the guys you look at when trying to find your seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth options. That would be like having Buster Posey at catcher and bringing in Gary Sanchez as a backup. ..
-
My point was and still is he could/should have done both. It never had to be an either/or situation...
-
I bet the Yankee fans all said that when the team signed Aaron Small...
-
Oh the Sox are in EXCELLENT shape today. Sure they had a weak schedule, but they did what they had to and went 8-1. The Yankees also had a fairly light schedule and didn't fare nearly as well. Sure, nothing is clinched yet, but this start has been beyond phenomenal. I hope it holds. No more knee issues for ERod. Mo more elbow issues for Price. No more issues for Pomeranz. Sale must stay healthy, not that he was replaceable anyway. Because if we have to make a deadline deal, we don't have much to offer. Especially given our limited financial flexibility. I foolishly assumed Chavis would be good trade bait. Oh well. Maybe some team will really, really need Aneury Tavarez...

So is this idea finally put to rest? The Sox can certainly put together a good team without JBJ. But they have a better one with him... -
Do we also pay attention to the "sarcasm alert"?
-
So we "added" the guys MIA from last year? Probably worth mentioning two of those "additions" are still out with injuries..
-
So the Sox only two prospects on the BA Top 100 list are injured and juicing? Hopefully this team won't need to make any deals in July...
-
I know that was the case last year, but there wan't so much buzz on it this year. Plus many veterans were waiting well into March and probably starting to worry about pitching at all. And really, there are still a few arms out there to be had. None of them are needle movers, but history does say you can get lucky with a pitcher. But more important in these type of deals, the Sox have absolutely nothing to lose...
