If the Red Sox fall short of a split of the four-game series with Texas the Sox will need to work actively on a concurrent plan.

06/10 Texas Rangers Vs Boston Red Sox
harmony replied to TylerD's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
I guess I regret having Ryan Brasier in my fantasy lineup tonight. -
The Red Sox have yet to play the surprising Texas club that maintains a current lead over the Sox.
-
The Seattle Mariners outscored the Houston Astros in losing three games of a recent four-game series.
-
Let's save this post for future reference. Power pitching represents yesterday's market inefficiency and the Mariners are unlikely to trade key players with at least three years of team control.

I finally traded Michael Chavis in my fantasy league and for the time being am stuck with Rougned Odor -- reportedly baseball's worst hitter* -- at second base as I await the returns of Jose Altuve and Dee Gordon from the injured list. I look forward to following Chavis and Odor in the upcoming four-games series between the Red Sox and Texas Rangers. * https://nolanwritin.com/2019/06/09/statistically-speaking-texas-rangers-worst-hitter-mlb/

The Red Sox may look more closely at stepping back if the Sox do worse than a split in the upcoming four-game series against the Texas Rangers.

The 2019 Seattle Mariners have weak pitching (especially from the bullpen) and historically bad defense ... the defense can be downright comical: The Mariners will likely continue to trade surplus hitters who have contributed to a team OPS+ of 110 (as points of reference, the Yankees have a team OPS+ of 106 and the Red Sox 102). Seattle leads the majors in home runs and the next to be traded may be AL home run leader Edwin Encarnacion, who on Sunday reached the 400-homer plateau for his career. Seattle fans experienced the transient joy of the unanticipated 13-2 start but the overall 28-41 record is in line with the preseason expectations of this "stepped-back" year. The Mariners are neither as good as their 13-2 start nor as bad as the 12-37 swoon that followed.

For what it's worth, FanGraphs projects the Blue Jays and Orioles to finish a combined 80 games below .500 while projecting the Rangers, Angels and Mariners to finish a combined 27 games below .500: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds FiveThirtyEight projects the Blue Jays and Orioles to finish a combined 84 games below .500 while projecting the Rangers, Angels and Mariners a combined 34 games below .500: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-mlb-predictions/ The top AL East teams will be padding their win totals.

How important is the upcoming four-game series against the Texas Rangers?

6/08 Rays @ Sox
harmony replied to SPLENDIDSPLINTER's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
https://tht.fangraphs.com/tht-live/40th-anniversary-the-day-wilbur-wood-became-a-legend/ On September 26, 1908, Chicago Cubs righthander Ed Reulbach pitched two complete-game shutouts in a doubleheader against the Brooklyn Dodgers: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=reulbed01&t=p&year=1908 -
The Red Sox having losing records against the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees and Houston Astros (a combined 6-11 [.353], 3-9 since a sweep of the Rays) and have yet to play a Minnesota club that shares the league's best record. Challenges await.

The Rays keep running into outs.

As noted Friday, no more Chavis/Middlebrooks comps will be offered absent a specific request.

The comparison was too obvious for the media to ignore: https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2019/05/02/will-middlebrooks-michael-chavis-red-sox-rookie https://weei.radio.com/blogs/rob-bradford/former-red-sox-infielder-will-middlebrooks-lived-life-michael-chavis-experiencing https://nesn.com/2019/05/ex-red-sox-will-middlebrooks-shares-biggest-advice-for-michael-chavis/

Or ... not bringing up the irrelevant failed Seattle prospects.
-
Their ages would not have been mentioned if the ages were not relevant. To omit the ages might demonstrate a lack of objectivity. A lack of objectivity could be shown by asking to compare one player's MLB debut with a player who has not played at the MLB level.
-
Comparisons have not been limited to those that cast Michael Chavis in a negative light. On May 21: https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/19013-A-Realistic-View-at-2019-Part-I?p=1242670#post1242670 Objectivity is a heavy cross to bear.

When it comes to busts, it's hard to top Jesus Montero (who has my sympathies nonetheless).

The requests keep rolling in: MC 41G, 178 PA, .248/.337/.465/.802, 57 K, 18 BB, 22 R, 10 HR, 28 RBI WM 41G, 156 PA, .326/.365/.583/.949, 37 K, 8 BB, 23 R, 9 HR, 34 RBI RD 41G, 168 PA, .299/.357/.506/.864, 40 K, 14 BB, 26 R, 8 HR, 18 RBI KS 41G, 154 PA, .264/.314/.371/.685, 32 K, 9 BB, 15 R, 2 HR, 7 RBI Like 20-year-old Red Sox pitching prospect Jay Groome, 27-year-old D.J. Peterson was a No. 12 overall pick who has yet to play an MLB game.

In the minors Michael Chavis played 250 games at third base, 15 at shortstop, 13 at first base and zero at second base: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=chavis000mic The Red Sox moved Chavis to second base to address a specific need. Michael Chavis, Will Middlebrooks and Rafael Devers in a comparison of the first 41 games of their respective MLB careers: MC 178 PA, .248/.337/.465/.802, 57 K, 18 BB, 22 R, 10 HR, 28 RBI WM 156 PA, .326/.365/.583/.949, 37 K, 8 BB, 23 R, 9 HR, 34 RBI RD 168 PA, .299/.357/.506/.864, 40 K, 14 BB, 26 R, 8 HR, 18 RBI The comparisons will no longer be offered absent a clear request.

Or subtract 1 fWAR for playing in a hitter's ballpark in a hitter-friendly division. And add appropriate fWAR for playing in a pitcher's ballpark in a pitcher-friendly division.
