I think you were pretty vocal about his lack of a track record as a high leverage reliever, but I think the stuff his real. That movement he has on the fastball is unreal and his breaking ball is sharp and breaks quickly. It could go sideways of course, but I have bought in.

chw42 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Cease was amazing Burger carried the offense Bullpen was nails outside of Bummer I'm not real worried about only getting 3 runs considering we hit a ton of balls hard to the warning track. This easily could have been a 3 or 4 run win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 3 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: 1. Engel hasn't played a ton of cf since 2019. In 2020 he was well below average (sss) in cf. Last year he was even. Roberts route rates in cf have been better than engel every year. Of course they both catch more than they're supposed to. As I said, Engel is good. Robert is elite. Engel is great playing balls at the wall. Robert has really improved on that after having trouble initially. I still laugh at the initial scouting reports not being that impressed with Luis' defense....what did they not see? Or did he improve that much?

Yes, very vocal about giving him a 3 year deal with no track record. I'll need to see more than a week obviously but he's looked fantastic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priznr Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 disagree. he's very good but his stats aren't any better (or as good) than several other cf'rs. he's not the five tool guy many claim he is. strong arm but not accurate, glove is shaky at times. he's among the better outfielders .. but certainly not an elite. sox fans just like to think he is. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
