Reynolds’ DRS and UZR numbers suggest Reynolds does play CF, but don’t support that he can. At least not very well.
It’s not even certain Verdugo can get to that -19DRS mark, let alone do it in as few innings…
The Sox are 6-4 in their last 10.
That’s really the goal of every team, to win 6 games out of every 10 all season long. It’s a ridiculous pace, believe it or not. And one 6-4 stretch (out of 16!!) isn’t enough, but I do like it so far…
There was a lot of “can’t play RF” stuff, but I think most of the trade talk was just speculation due to his remaining control. There’s been a pattern lately about players gettting traded when they have one year left…
Really?
There’s a lot to like about this team, too.
The bullpen has been great and is finally Ort-free.
Sale has shown marked improvement in his last 3 starts and might be shaking off 3 years worth of rust.
Some of the younger arms (Winckowski, Crawford) that were whipping boys last year are showing they might be good.
Yoshida has turned around a horrible start.
This team just doesn’t give up.
2-0 in extra innings despite giving up the first run in both games. That’s a huge step up over last year.
Tied with the Yankees!
I think they can stay in the postseason hunt.
It’s unfortunate, but that kind of thing happens all the time. They’re not going to DFA Brasier unless they need a 40 man roster spot, which they do not need in order to activate either Rodriguez or Paxton…
