Robert #1 at end of season.

And let's hope for baseball's sake it's not just due to trout, buxton, acuna with missing PAs due to injury. I'm sure Acuna's acl isn't going to be too big a deal but trout is starting to really breakdown.

Unlike some of our posters, I guess Fangraphs really like Andrew Vaughns bat and expected it to outweigh his defense?

Yeah I guess it's hard to say now that there are projections have changed with Pollock. Would have been a crapshoot for them guessing how many games each of Vaughn/Sheets/Engel/Leury got in RF. They currently project Vaughn/Sheets to be 5-15% above average on offense. They are pretty bearish on Engel both offensively and defensively. Have him begged for .3 WAR in 42 games after posting .7 WAR and 1.2 WAR in 36 & 39 games in 2020 & 2021 respectively.

Interesting note about the overall rankings.  All teams have at least one position group in the bottom 3rd of the position rankings, except (you might have guessed it) Tampa, whose lowest ranked group is CF at 19.  The Sox are one of only 5 other teams with only one such position group.

Kiermaier or Margot?  They just signed Margot to a two-year extension, fwiw.
