Remember how (nearly) everyone jumped on Farrell for PH Young for Shaw? It was the right decision.

If he keeps hitting them on the ground, it doesn't matter, he's not getting XBHs and we've been facing a lot of LHP lately. Look at his pulled balls profile: 70% of them are grounders! 70%! That's 2014 Allen Craig level so of course his Pull ISO went MIA. If they start attacking him inside as the NL Central has done to Craig, he's toast. Yeah did you see how he just hammered that one into the ground just now? That's weak, hope the sox find a GM to agree with you.

Is there any way Leon is actually a good hitter now? There's no way, right?

Holt is overrated by the Sox casual fans as a hitter, but provides a lot of depth.
But seriously somebody explain Sandy Leon.

If Holt and Young stay healthy (maybe with Beni in the mix eventually) and we actually get above average offense from catcher this lineup could support the worst rotation in baseball history

But seriously somebody explain Sandy Leon. Remember the early '00's when Pedro Martinez couldn't get Enrique Wilson out? It's like that. Baseball is weird, man.

Travis Shaw has a 32+ against LHP in 2016. Woof woof

That's a 3rd-grade level abbreviation right there, BTW. The only reason I know you mean "32 wRC+" is because so many people do it.
