And anyway, Kimbrel is still not worth $16 million this year. I feel like if he were a free agent, he'd get a 2 or 3 year deal, with a little less AAV. $16 mill for one year isn't too crazy me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's his bad defense that makes him unplayable out there, but rather the injury risk he causes for himself and anyone that comes in his vacinity because he's so clumsy out there. His defensive metrics look across the board bad in 2019/2020. I just checked Fangraphs and over 2019-2020 they peg him as the worst LF in baseball. His DRS and Statcast numbers those years were comparably bad, I just don't know how to sort multiple years on those pages. His metrics were terrible until 2021.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hearing Sox have mad interest in Lyle Mouton and Doug Brady for RF and 2B. Let's get this ball rolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also gave us more money to throw at our targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learn to live with it, but you have to take everything he writes/reports with a massive grain of salt. True, just feels like having sand in your eyes when reading his tripe.

That being said, I’m not optimistic and would love to add another impact starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought one was kind of contingent on the other. And RH needs to get Conforto done tonight. 4/80-85 and once Colas is ready you can move Conforto to LF and Eloy to DH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
