Sarava Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 To me Bryant is a better option than Conforto or Castellanos - but I realize there's been no smoke there and it's not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conforto is the better hitter against RHP and that’s our biggest weakness. He’s also a better defensive RF. Given the expected costs, give me Conforto hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can even play CF when Robert gets hurt., and Engel is rehabbing. Not ideal but it won't kill you if it's for a couple of weeks. The other thing he could probably do is turn some Cubs fans in to Sox fans. Conforto probably is the better fit, especially in the most important category, economics.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I think Bryant is the better player and his versatility plays a big part in that. But given the weakness of the AL Central, I’m placing a greater value on who the better fit is come October and I think Conforto solves more problems than Bryant does in RF. That being said, I obviously wouldn’t complain if they signed Kris instead, but I agree the economics probably make this a moot point since Michael will come on a discount.

Really? My wife is a huge Cubs fan and always thought Bryant was kind of a tool. She was a much bigger fan of Rizzo & Baez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is funny because Bryant is the ultimate professional on the field and the other two have had some dirty/unprofessional moments 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he repeats his 2021 or is even close to that level, then it's going to look like an awfully dumb signing. But if he returns to a few years ago, he would be a better addition than Bryant. Where with Kris Bryant - we know what we're going to get. He's not what he was 5 years ago, but he has versatility and adds punch to the Sox lineup. Defensively him and Conforto might be a wash in RF. And I don't know that Bryant has a huge market out there for him. All we hear is Seattle wants him. but does he really want to go to Seattle? Moneywise, we'll see what Kris gets. Remember when he was supposed to be the first 400 mil guy? He will be lucky to get 100 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
