How many others were forced to play a corner OF spot for the first time in their lives at the MLB level? 

Who cares, the bat hasn’t translated.  Not enough power for someone lacking in so many other skills.

It's only the entire reason he has negative WAR, but whatever, who cares.

Being one of the worst base runners in baseball has hurt him as well.

So explain his negative dWar last season when he played entirely at 1B? And the rest of his mediocre offensive numbers?

Yeah, he played out of position as a rookie, but far less the past two seasons. Yet the bat hasn't carried over. Limited power, average bat, slow AF, poor defensive 1B's just aren't that valuable.

He's -7 RAA as a 1B in about 1500 innings and that's relative to only other 1B.  It ain't exactly like he's a crumulent big league 1B either. He's another glorified DH that can't hit.

Cole Duensing has a career minor league ERA over 6.30.  That’s impressive 

Related to Brian?

 

Sox pitchers with way too many walks.

Three sun and wind-aided hits the Cubs outfielders couldn't handle.

 

Kopech ranged 93-98...5 k's.

Spotty command with FB, overthrowing a bit...but much better in second inning.

An example of why WAR is a joke, expecially concerning 1st basemen. Before the Covid year,  Abreu with over 100 RBIs had a War of like 2.9, and Yolmer Sanchez had a War of like 2.6. 

The next year, the White Sox cut Yolmar to start the season and Abreu went on to win AL MVP.  Abreu's value to the Sox was only a 1/3 of a run more than Yolmer?? What a joke!

You lost me at RBIs
