South Side Fireworks Man Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Luis Robert is the only one of the Sox formerly highly touted young core that I still have hope will reach his full potential. Vaughn will be a good hitter as well, but Robert is the complete player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one thing is for sure, they're not going to want to pay him $24-25 million the last two years of his deal unless he's closer to his 2019 offensive production. Which means at least 850+ ops in this current offensive environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxForce2 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 After reading Rosenthal's article in the Athletic, I'd just as soon the Sox not press a running game on these guys. Evidently the Yanks have been putting serious effort into defensing the running game to good effect.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He is also much worse defensively than Yaz according to every defensive metric in existence. He's also probably a worse hitter. But batting average, dingers, & RBI's sway a lot of people. I'm not trying to take a dig at Salvy, really just trying to say there is no perfect catcher in baseball right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spumoni Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Grandal walks in 4 straight pitches so of course Sheets comes up swinging at everything out of the zone. Infuriating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
