There are a few (re: very few) exceptions.
And Bregman is a whiny little cheater. Cheating is one thing. But if you’re going to cheat, at least man up and don’t whine about fans not liking you for it…
So not RH power bats? Most of them strike out a lot. Swinging and missing pairs up with swinging hard. The two go tohgether like peanut butter and marshmallow fluff…
So yesterday, my Cubs’ fan teenage daughter in the midst of a baseball discussion said, unprompted, “the Red Sox should just sign Matt Chapman and fix that infield.”
She’s learning right…
At that price, Wendle becomes a safety net if you can’t get a better player.
I’d take Wendle at 2b over whoever is slated to start there now, which I would guess is the superior offensive talent Enmanuel Valdez…
JBJ’s defense became a much bigger deal when he dropped that toe tap and started to hit.
I don’t mind watching my #9 hitter strike out or hit weak grounders nearly as much as I mind my “up the middle” fail to get to seemingly routine or makable plays, or as much as I mind watching innings extended by a glut of errors…
True. I doubt they even know this individual Red Sox forum exists.
I do disagree hitting is straight up more important than fielding. I think at a minimum it’s situational depending on position.
I also think our opinions of Verdugo’s attitude might be overblown or based on incomplete information…
I do think a lot of Sox fans hate defense. Alex Verdugo was nominated for a Gold Glove, and that’s why they want him gone and replaced with a right-handed bat that can’t field…
