I actually thought he was a great fit to platoon (.772 OPS against LHP) in Houston with Singleton (.773 OPS against RHP), but then you're limiting your bench with a 1B only player (not that their primary DH can't play the OF I guess).
I also believe that the number comes in under that projection. For the most part, most of the Sox arb numbers have come in under their (very good overall) projections.
Hey I wouldn’t bat an eye if they moved on from him. He sucks. I just think he’ll be back because there are no other options. I agree they should just play Vargas at 1B.
Right. If there was a decent FA to sign that you could maybe flip later then maybe. But there’s no one knocking on the door and they need to finally move on from Sheets.
Twins, Royals: 12-1 against Sox.
Tigers: 10-3
All 3 very much in post season/post season picture (Twins) because of the Sox. It’s not that they are that great of teams. It’s that the Sox are that bad.
People thinking we are going to get huge hauls with multiple T100 position players coming back for Robert and Crochet only for them to hold onto Robert and deal Crochet for more pitching.
Seems like over 95% of players claim they want an extension (who doesn’t want guaranteed money?) while under control. Doesn’t mean it’s likely. Gotta match his price.
