His bat is crap and has declined over his three years with the Sox, but you are going to trust 41 Spring Training at bats? Take a look at his stats.

I was told that the Sox front office and analytics people were telling Grifol to start Sheets in RF this spring. Regardless of whose decision it was/is, if Sheets receives a chunk of starts in RF, the Sox are as stupid as we think they are.
You have to take Odunze if he’s there at 9. Allen is 32 years old. We have him for 1 year, maybe 2-3 if Poles works an extension. Odunze gives Caleb a ridiculous receiving core now and into the future.
I don’t understand this mentality. The Bears gave Fields 40 games to prove he was a starting QB. Isn’t that enough? Some guys are just backups (see Trubisky). Poles is a moron if he intentionally took less of a return and hurt his own team just to pick a better landing spot for Fields.
He’s not sniffing that kind of money. Just take a look at SSHM’s list of projected salaries from MLB Trade Rumors and what these guys end up signing for.
