wrathofhahn Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Harper has a statline of .260/.373/.479/.852 with 2.6 WAR/150 and 13.7 UZR/150 Machado has a statline of .271/.342/.512/.854 with 4.1 WAR/150 and 3.7 UZR/150 for 3B, and -5.8 UZR/150 Note BR ref is harsher then fangraphs on harpers defense which affects his war slightly. The point is has how either performed changed your thought process on the effort spent pursuing them? Or would you have rather explored other options?

TaylorStSox Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The key to all of it is going to be Madrigal. Will he be good enough to justify moving Moncada off of 2nd. I doubt there's a GM in baseball who would trade Moncada for Machado. Harper's a big can of whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about having six above-average major league hitters (at least) out of 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) With Moncada looking great at 3B, if Madrigal pans out at 2B, and if the Sox throw the money they didn’t spend on Machado at an ace like Cole, they can definitely make the non-signing of Machado look like a great move. But does anyone really think they will spend the money on Cole? Edited July 24, 2019 by Moan4Yoan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Sox are still looking for a left hand hitting, middle of the order right fielder. Would be nice to have Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
