caulfield12 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Avi just has trouble offensively and defensively reacting instinctively. Not sure he can ever overcome that. Doesnt mean he cant be a good player, but its going to be a serious limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 17, 2015 -> 02:50 AM) Alexi has to lead team in DP's. Nope, Abreu is tied for 3rd in all of baseball with 8. Melky is in the top 10 with 7. Alexei has 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Alexei with ANOTHER double play. Avi not getting to 2nd on a wild pitch that went 60 feet away from catcher comes back to hurt the Sox. The baserunning confidence is below zero and is resulting in an overcompensation and lack of aggression to a fault. Will it get fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Part of it is the issue now is the phobia about making outs on the basepaths...causing way too much hesitation. It's undoubtedly affecting the coaches, too. Edited May 17, 2015 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The only thing Avi doesn't do that is above average is take consistently good routes to the ball. He's the best player on this team right now and I really don't understand how you can rip the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have checked for a few seconds and still made it with ease. And it rolled right towards 1st base. Pretty hard to keep your eye on the catcher and the runner ahead of you at the same time.
