You just know he's beaming inside ready to say 'I told you so!' and bat him leadoff the rest of the series.

Instead of Benintendi, who was actually doing well leading off instead of being worthless batting lower.

Meh. This version is not a starting outfielder regardless where he bats. Can't even be a reserve outfield because of his week arm. People were excited because he bats left handed, but you can't play a starting corner outfielder to hit a couple HRs and .700 ish OPS.

People b**** about Moncada, but he had two great seasons (4.0 and 5.5) here for $66M total including the post 2024 buyout. Don't see Benintendi getting more than 5,5 fWAR over a full five seasons / $75M, with minimal upside potential.

Meanwhile, Burger with another big game.  That trade is off to a very bad start.

People around here couldn't wait to ship off a guy who busted his ass and hit for power because he's just another Palka or some such s%*#.

Just because of the way he looks.

And he's actually one of the fastest players on the Sox team for 2023 because he consistently hustled...and already deceptively quick for that body type.

No, just one of five DH/1B they need to convert to prospects with everyone else. He's in his 30s, good chance out of baseball the next time the Sox have a legitimate contending team.

Need to get as many prospects as possible over the next 12 months, have a new FO have a road map to compete in 2026 or 2027.

Jake Burger is 27.
