I'm okay with Mendick for this year if the Sox gun for other upgrades at the deadline. Madrigal is exactly the type of player needed in games where manufacturing runs is paramount. This organization is stuck on homer-happy, one dimensional offenses. Nick will be solely missed. Edited June 16, 2021 by GradMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is 22nd in home runs - but has the 3rd best offense in terms of fWAR and the best run differential in the league. They're probably the best offense in the league at manufacturing runs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you miss any starter. But while Mendick is certainly worse, he's the same TYPE of player and he's perfectly capable of playing at a league average rate, which is all you can ask for for an injury replacement. Contrast that to other positions on the roster and you'll see instances (and potential instances) of much larger dropoffs in performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are one of the top offensive teams in baseball with Eloy and Robert out and you want to fire the hitting coach? Um, wat? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely games where they all shutdown at once, but they also hit their asses off in a fair amount of games as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, considering Glasnow WAS one of the three Cy Young favorites in the AL when that game was played... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
