I really believe our best 1-2-3-4 with Cora’s L/R infatuation would be
1. Verdugo
2. Bogaerts
3. Devers
4. JD
Verdugo doesnt strike out, Top 10 in baseball, and has hit a career high in doubles. He’s also not a home run hitter so we don’t have to worry about wasting solo homers but i think it’s crazy that we never seen this 1-4.

C’mon guys leave Verdugo alone. He’s very unlucky. How many wHRs does he have?

Honestly, I feel like Verdugo is easily replaceable, but if they don't make the trade then they're likely less inclined to move Benintendi so instead you have Benny and a pick instead of Verdugo. He's not terrible, but he's not very good either. He's a guy who can be a cheap regular as long as you're getting production in other parts of your lineup. I have soured on him during his admittedly unlucky season. |

I have soured on him during his admittedly unlucky season. I feel like some of you just fix your opinions of every player on April 30th and absolutely nothing will ever dislodge them.
Anyway, yes, he was crazy unlucky for the first month and a half of the season or so. Since June 1st he's hit .316/.366/.440. A 128 wRC+. For context, Devers has a 122 wRC+ in that time. Verdugo's been the team's best hitter in the last three months.

Players get streaky and go hot and cold. I look more towards the whole picture, but Devers has been terrible lately too. I'm just disappointed in Verdugo when they first acquired him. I called him the player Benintendi should have been. |
