AB was also a negative defender in left field so I guess I’m just not seeing how he’s so much better
What is it about benintendi that everyone loves? He’s not much better than Mazara. AB stinks at defense too and has a worse arm. Less power than Mazara. He does have better on base skills and has had a 4 win season but outside of that he’s been just an average hitter. Also his hard hit% and exit velo are below avg. he’s better but not that much better
I would not. Both aren’t any good so why not grab the guy that has a small chance of breaking out? Calhoun isn’t going to take the Sox to the playoffs so there’s no point.
I wouldn’t hate trading for a pitcher, because prospects will have to be traded at some point. However, I’d prefer grabbing just short term free agent pitchers and waiting til after this year to see where kopech, stiever, dunning, cease, Lopez, rodon all end up. It’s unlikely but maybe pitching looks like a plus for this team after this upcoming season as there is a lot of potential there.
