    I think we can compare him to PCA a little, maybe with a bit of a lower ceiling. Both players have really great stretches and REALLY poor stretches, looks like consistency will be the main problem for him. I'd rather him be a 700ish OPS guy year round than an 800 guy first half and a 600 guy second half.

    Something has to give in the outfield. Breslow has commited long term to Rafaela and Anthony, so I doubt either of them are going anywhere. Unless we can find someone to take Yoshidas contract, he's pretty much locked in at DH, and I doubt Cora would want to DH Abreu or Duran. That means one of them should probably get traded this offseason. Abreu is younger and has more control, but Duran is a fan favorite and a better player. Suffering from success i guess...

    Duran played 2nd in college and a little in A- ball. Could we move him to 2nd? I feel like that is a conversation we should have

    Haha very fair and very understandable. My problem is the GG in CF doesn't matter if he isn't playing CF. I know we have a very crowded outfield but that glove needs to be out there. It's also worrying we are seeing the same trends as last year (stretches of low plate discipline, high strikeout rates and no walks). His speed will also be a major plus if we can bump that OBP up to atleast 300. I'd really like to know what Cora and the coaching staff are relying to him, as it was looking promising pre all star break (.314 OBP) but has since fallen off a cliff (.234 since). It's weird this coincides with him playing multiple positions again....

    I think Rafaeala's slump needs to be talked about more. I know his calling card is his Defense, and his offense will definitely take a hit, but when he is hot and going we are hot and going. He was arguably the guy during the 10 game winning streak going into the break and before Anthony broke out. If we can get him anywhere near that that will 100% mitigate some of Anthony being out. I have genuinely never felt more confident in an at-bat than when Rafaela came up against the Rays and launched that homerun. When he's hot, he's otherworldly hot, just needs to get his swagger and confidence back (that will hopefully come as he settles back into CF)

    I think Wong has also emerged as a great clubhouse guy. Crochet speaks very highly of him, Bello's personal catcher, "fixed" Chapman. He's also always on the top step celebrating with Crochet after everything. Those guys are more important than you think!

    The Brewers are undoubtedly the best team in the league, they are playing Brice Turang (never a top 100 prospect), Andrew Vaughn (Career .721 OPS), Caleb Durbin (14th round pick) and Isaac Collins (28yr old rookie) nearly every day. Name value isn't everything. Eaton and Sogard have both been coming through these past few days at a higher level than I think anyone could have asked for.
  8. Cameron Tran
    Our offensive biggest problem down the stretch is the lack of raw power. Getting Abreu back will help, but not having a true homerun threat does worry me a little
  9. Cameron Tran
    Every team will have to deal with blackholes on offense, and luckily our offensive black holes have their strengths and excel at certain things: Rafaela - Defense Eaton - Speed Hamilton - Speed Sogard - Versatility (and he's delivered some big hits recently) Even Wong has shown to be a favorite amongst the pitching staff We only complain about our "blackholes" because those are the "blackholes" we know the most about. We have arguably one of the most well-balanced teams in the AL, while having potentially the best front 3 in the rotation and THE best setup-closer duo in the league.

    KC has played RF for the past 3 games in Worcester. Anything there?
  11. Cameron Tran
    Putting Wilyer in right also gives us the probably the best defensive outfield in the game. I want to hold out hope Ceddanne will get hot as he adjusts back to life in CF (his slump coincides with the move to 2nd), but it is getting really late for him.
  12. Cameron Tran
    harrison looking good!! He was a prep arm I assume right?
  13. Cameron Tran
    talksox legend Sean Newcomb proving the breslow haters right
  14. Cameron Tran
    slaten looks like hes really lacking confidence right now. need crazy talking to himself slaten back
  15. Cameron Tran
    are we ever going to see a clean inning?
  16. Cameron Tran
    Tolle was on a very short leash to begin with, but yeah that isn't a good sign. He needs atleast some sort of plus secondary
  17. Cameron Tran
    Tolle needs to work on that cutter bad. get him and crochet in the lab together
  18. Cameron Tran
    Yup! i kinda forgot they came in last year too. Kinda just went off the dome with that one. Shoutout Jovani Moran and Robert Stock as well.
  19. Cameron Tran
    Nesn just flashed a graphic that Cora is #3 in games managed for the Red Sox, where does he rank in your Red Sox manager rankings. Top 10? Top 5?
  20. Cameron Tran
    if it makes anyone feel better Merril Kelly just gave up to HR to the Brewers in the top of the first!!
  21. Cameron Tran
    Narvaez, Crochet, Bregman, Lowe, Matz, Chapman, Wilson, Tolle, Giolito and Slaten are all successes. Wished we kept Pivetta, wish we got another arm at the deadline, wish the Devers situation had unfolded differently, but overall Breslow did a great job complimenting the young core Bloom had been building.
  22. Cameron Tran
    Agree here, can't forget Breslow is a first time GM. He's smart and seems to know how Boston is supposed to operate but there's still a learning curve. I have faith in him. Really great FA last year, good draft this year. Extending young players is what good teams do (MIL with Chourio, SDP with Merril). He did a good job of pivoting and committing to Anthony as the "face of the franchise" after trading Devers
  23. Cameron Tran
    To breslow's credit none of the top arms got traded at the deadline. Sandy, Gallen, Keller and Ryan all stayed put. The problem is he just talks alot and really doesn't say the right things just yet. That whole "uncomfortably aggressive" thing seemed like a way to avoid blame.
  24. Cameron Tran
    this was definitely a sellers deadline. Teams were asking for a lot and Breslow didn't want to part with the top pitching arms. Campbell was probably our best trade piece but I'm not sure many people wanted that contract. Breslow had a solid deadline. I'm glad we didn't overpay and get rid of Tolle or Early (or JH Garcia for that matter).
  25. Cameron Tran
    that's true. It looks like the Sox have had trouble finding him a good #2 pitch. I think they see potential in his slider (5% usage up to 18% since joining) but it is far from a finished product. With Criswell injured it does make sense for him to be the long man to come up.
