A RHH OF who crushes LHP and has the versatility to play all three spots is an underrated asset, IMO. This is especially true for the Red Sox. Yoshi is going to be in LF for the foreseeable future and Duran may be establishing himself as the CF for the next few years. They may also have Dugo in RF next year, though I wouldn't be surprised if they ship him out this coming off-season. Either way, there will be plenty of opportunities to get RobRef into games and gain a platoon advantage. Bloom deserves credit for the low-cost RobRef acquisition. He's performed at a rate of 3 B-Ref WAR per 600 PA since he's been here. I am curious about your thinking on this. Unless the deal that sent him away, or another transaction, brought back a high OBP replacement that can handle RF at fenway, Verdugo is an important piece of this lineup. Any replacement from within (thinking Bleis) is at least 2-4 years away. Refsnyder is starting game 1 in CF against a RH starter. He really is underrated if he is thought of as a platoon only player. I'm not predicting a Dugo trade or even hoping for one. In fact, I've said on here that I hope they can work out multi-year deal with him. But I do think a trade is a real possibility. He'll be entering his arb 3 year in 2024 and FA after 2025. He's making $6.3M this year and will get a nice bump if he continues at his 4.6 f-WAR pace. I just wouldn't be surprised if they decide to cash in on his trade value. The team acquiring him would get a player with two years left and, if he keeps performing at his current pace, a guy coming off a 4.6 FG-WAR year. I think we just disagree on RobRef. For his career, he's got a .760 OPS and 112 wRC+ vs. LHP. He's .625 and 74 vs. RHP. You want the bulk of his PAs to be against LHP.

Yoshida's defensive metrics are going to take another hit just because of the elements here

Has Cora given any explanation for why Kiké still plays at SS when Reyes is also in the game? It seems to cost them runs every time they run out that alignment so I think we deserve a rationale.

Cora keeps saying he wants Kiké to play like an athlete... Am I the only one who doesn't want that? His decision making at SS is SO BAD I want him to play like someone who understands the rules of the game and if that means he doesn't force stuff, bonus.

I think we are pretty aligned on Refsnyder. I just think he's a valuable reserve player in general. Best vs. lefties but not a cringe factor vs righties.
