    If the red sox, at 25 years old, wont even give abreu the chance to be a non platoon player, then abreu needs to demand a trade. full stop.

    I know that stat is convenient, but you are talking about limiting a 25 year old gold glover entering his prime, who looks primed for a breakout over 60 rookie at-bats. Abreu deserve the chance to be a full blown starter. Refsnyder going to have to find more ways to find at-bats.

    Wheres the Abreu statue going? Also - good to see Slaten pick up where he left off. Looked to have great command and shut em down in the ninth. No heart in our throat anxiety. WHich is great cuz DWill, who the yanks paid through the nose for was shaky in his first outing (but did get the "S")

    Once thought impossible, Wilyers WAR just passed 20 and we're in mid-July

    Certainly seemed like it, but need a larger sample for me. But its cool and I def sent out some texts last night of this sort: AC: So you lost 20 lbs this month and barely had any spring due to this illness youve had. We're gonna start you on the IL so you can build up your strength, energy and timing WA: Well, I cant really explain why and I know I lost 20 lbs in a very short span (without trying to or thinking I needed to), and I know I havent gotten a ton of reps, but like I said - cant explain it but I feel f'ing great right now. AC: What? Really? WA: Yeah, think Im good to go (Proceeds to almost single-handedly win us opening day) Super cool!

    The visual of Refsnyder at the top of the dugout when Abreu was batting against a lefty was pretty telling to me. Then Abreu worked a walk against that lefty and then smashed his second HR in his final at-bat. I felt a little sorry for Ref, losing his most likely platoon-mate because Abreu looks like he deserves a chance to be every-day right now.

    Lof of solid "giving and getting" last couple pages. Punches and counterpunches. Good stuff, all

    Neither Garcia?
  9. drewski6
    A bit nervous? Yes. Shaking in my boots? No.

    Im rooting for him.
  11. drewski6
    Me neither. If I was to rank former red sox infielders who had a serviceable (but not good) season with the Giants later in their careers: Panda's +1.3 WAR in 18-19 would actually be below Freddy Sanchez's +1.9 WAR in 2010 in the "one who got away" scale. I always found Freddy likeable.

    "Guys, its going to be Christian" "Drew, he spells it with a K" "Whoa, whoa....I was talking about Arroyo"
  13. drewski6
    But its obvious case by case.
  14. drewski6
    Its certainly a cost vs benefit decision that weighs having the best lineup factoring in availability (health), streakiness, and handedness vs ideal defensive alignment. But there is no debating that the amount of players playing multiple positions is on the rise, and platooning is on the rise (shortening benches), and carrying an extra pitcher is on the rise (again shortening benches) and guys are just moving around more.
  15. drewski6
    Agreed, we'll see how Devers, Yoshida, Roman, Bregman, Campbell, Story, Abreu, Hamilton, Mayer are doing (health-wise and skill-wise) and we will make adjustments. The further out you look, the cloudier it gets (my opinion) and its also my opinion that its fine. We dont need to know right now where guys will settle in, and there will continue to be adjustments for injuries and other factors as well. We have a lot of versatility and some old school folks may not like that , thinking that its best to have guys who know their position, and stability - but I think that versatility is more important than set roles/positions.
  16. drewski6
    Literally every fantasy baseball article I read is talking about who so many guys throughout the league are going to have so many eligible positions by June. I know thats talking fantasy baseball but if guys are gaining position eligibility in fantasy its because they are moving around. Its like a huge talking point among baseball nerds how the game has changed so much in this regard. Positions are fluid in todays mlb.
  17. drewski6
    Yup, cross-pollination / strategic redundancy. They want as many guys ready to play as many different positions as possible. Decisions will be made on a case by case and day by day basis regarding who is playing and at what position.
  18. drewski6
    Guys will move around, guys will platoon and the lineup will change even if there were no injuries/maint days, which there will be. Those of you who think guys will only play one position, you are just looking at things through an old school lens, and we're not that way and neither are most teams. Versatility/flexibility/adaptability/changes - more than you are use to seeing. Count on it.
  19. drewski6
    Sure, but we've spoken a lot about the first few weeks, so its easy for that point to get lost.
  20. drewski6
    Lack of "urgency" (prob "concern" more accurate to my point, which is:) this lack of urgency/concern might be disingenuous. Very possible some are crapping their pants at Raf turning into a question mark.
  21. drewski6
    We're talking about a warm body stopgap, nothing more
  22. drewski6
    Yeah a month or two bridge to an extra year of control for the prospect Eaton/Thompson is making the team over
  23. drewski6
    most likely hes posturing. Im looking to sign an extension vs im not looking to sign an extension so if you are going to put one in my face, come big cuz im fine going year to year
  24. drewski6
    I understood ya. You were saying they know that if they stay healthy, talent wont be an issue and theyll get a big payday so the only reason for them to re-up now would be fear of injury
  25. drewski6
    Just like Blake.
