    According to BTV, some equivalent SPs (and not all teams will be interested): For Duran, Hunter Brown, Cristofer Sanchez, George Kirby, Roki Sasaki, Joe Ryan For Abreu: Kris Bubic, Nick Lodolo, Matt Liberatore, Bailey Ober, Ben Brown, Gavin Williams…

    Seriously? 1,000 at bats. Is it a big difference then? Talking about 20 hits over two seasons here…

    It is true that small differences in WAR really dont mean much, and a 3.0 WAR player really isn’t that much better than a 2.8 WAR player. But this is hardly uncommon in baseball stats. Is a .280 hitter really that much different than a .300 hitter? Because lots of fans act like those numbers are worlds apart…

    Also different is playing a position well…

    He’s a 2b/PR that can play SS in an emergency. Like if the ballpark is on fire, you can send Hamilton out to play SS…

    “Jabronis” are still pitchers capable of making an MLB roster and are therefore still immensely talented…

    PCA is an early candidate for NL MVP. I agree thats too much to expect from Ceddanne…

    That Cora kept playing Rafaela and keeps playing Campbell is extremely likely to be a sign he’s always believed in both. Im indifferent on Cora, and think it is getting close to time to fire him. But the logic here is beyond questionable. Let’s start with the fact that not all Latin players are from the same country and dont all get along. Cora, being Puerto Rican, is a US citizen who might not have as much in common with all of the Dominican players as you think…

    Are you saying Cora never met Hamilton while coaching at Houston? C’mon! Hamilton was IN TEXAS, and a mere 3 hour drive away! They were practically neighbors!

    MSN is less reliable than this board, Ok, maybe equally reliable

    Duran in LF, Rafaela in CF, Anthony in RF

    Not my idea. Mine was to give Duran one…

    I’m not a huge fan of Cora’s constant re-arrangements, but I think it’s a leap to assume playing a couple games at a new position had such a drastic effect on Campbell, especially since he’s been bounced around before…

    Toro/Gonzalez - 1b Story - 2b Rafaela - SS Mayer - 3b Anthony - LF Duran - CF Abreu/Refsnyder - RF I dont like it, but I’d rather see Anthony called up over Sogard…

    My guesses on why he is still in Boston include: 1. Lack of better options. The ones I mentioned earlier are largely the 2024 options that created the opportunity for Campbell in the first place. 2. Infield injuries. Things might be different if all our utility infielders were not starting already. 3. Possibly they think he won’t learn to hit MLB pitching by facing AAA pitching. They know Campbell and what makes him tick.

    If they move Rafaela to 2b, it creates a chance to call up Anthony. Wouldn’t that move negate any negative PR from calling up the “wrong guy”?

    Romy currently has another role…
  23. notin
    Do teams actually make (or not make) moves based on a refusal to admit they were wrong? Somehow I think they’re is usually more logic than just obstinance. The logic might not be right or might not work, but that Durant mean it never existed…
  24. notin
    Duran has some clear appeal, but of the 4 outfielders he would be my preferred trade bait. He’s a fun leadoff hitter to watch, but he just seems to have no real position defensively. But I could see teams preferring Abreu for the reasons you mentioned. They’re the reasons I like him..z
  25. notin
    It might be, but demotions is not a universal fix. Alex Mayes isnt the first to suggest demoting Campbell, and it’s a very safe bet it’s come up in the Sox FO before now. But it clearly hasn’t been done. Why not?
