    I do think re-arranging thr order further is a good idea. Also Yoshida has a .474 OBP, nearly double Duran’s .254. Maybe more frequent plate appearances here?

    Sandoval is pitching in Worcester…

    Yu Chang was a stud defender…

    Did you charge TYPM with an error?

    I’m hesitant to crown Arias anything yet, but certainly possible…

    There was nothing wrong with that anslysis. StatCast has Story’s range in the 11th percentile and his arm in the 23rd percentile. Honestly, I’m surprised the arm came in that high. He simply isn’t a shortstop any more…
  7. notin
    Well, according to fielding percentage, those are clearly not a problem. But he does have decent right-handed power and is a good baserunner…

    I do not. Cora has shown reluctance to getting involved with telling veterans they need to move for the benefit of the team. See Devers, Rafael…
  9. notin
    Most pitchers don’t average 6 IP per start. None average 7. Especially in April…

    It seems like Cora will let veterans change positions if they want to, like how he wanted Bregman for 2b after Bregman’s agent went public with his client’s desire to move. But not so much with veterans that are unwilling despite their declining or overall lack of ability. Story did move to 2b before, but that could have been due to his arm problems or out of respect for Bogaerts. Basically it seemed like Story made it easy for Cora. But will Cora tell him that he thinks it’s best for the team that he switch? I have serious doubts…
  11. notin
    So… does he actually do anything?
  12. notin
    I think most baseball people realize Story is probably the third best defensive SS on the Sox roster right now. Possibly fourth, as Monasterio has limited experience at the position. But hey, defensive whiz Tsung-Che Cheng still has an OPS north of 1.100 in Worcester. Just sayin’…
  13. notin
    Story was a defensive whiz earlier in his career, but that was a few years and surgeries ago. Not sure if Cora has even approached Story with the possibility of moving, but I’d be surprised if he did…
  14. notin
    And Cora’s way involves not moving veteran players off position ever, regardless of ability to still play them. But on the bright side, he will play bench players nearly anywhere…

    It also is the basis for the easiest MLB trivia question of all time. Q: In MLB history, only 3 players have been named Kevin Brown. All 3 played in the 1990s, but only one began his career thr decade before and ended it in the following decade. Which one? A: Kevin Brown
  16. notin
    It’s also kind of a common, vanilla name. Maybe the voters confused him with one of the two other Kevin Browns playing in the 1990’s. Yes, MLB has seen exactly 3 players named Kevin Brown in their entire history, and all three played in the 1990’s…

    I was just looking it up. Santana (2004-2008) 35.6.bWAR, 29.8 fWAR Brown (1996-2000) 36.7 bWAR, 36.9 fWAR Somehow Brown escaped that stretch without a single Cy Young award (Santana won twice during his.)

    Fruity McLoom?

    Arias is 20 years old with 79 at bats in above A-ball. While the Sox are very likely excited about his future, I’d be shocked if he was already penciled in to replace Story…
  20. notin
    And yet they still exclude Tommy John…
  21. notin
    But - and this is important - you have absolutely no idea how they view Mayer…
  22. notin
    There is some irony in that we got our fillers from the only place that needed them more…
  23. notin
    Incorrect. Hunter was not on the A’s in 1975. But he did play in 6 World Series in a 7 year stretch and won rings in 5 of them. Good things happen when you keep teaming up with Mr. October, I suppose…
  24. notin
    Because they won’t bump Story for him?
  25. notin
    Why? Did the Sox nor acquire him? He was part of that Colorado 2b mess…
