Fun fact of the day; 2013 Red Sox top OF OPS plus was 118, Verdugo has a 116 OPS plus currently. I don't think we were in trouble that year😁. That 2013 team is a good example of how you never know how a team might come together and be successful. No one on the team had better than 4.9 fWAR. The top 5 starters combined for 11.2 WAR. Lester had the most at 3.3. Only Buchholz (in 16 starts) had a sub-3.50 ERA. Does a rotation of Lester, Lackey, Buchholz, Doubront, and Dempster really seem that much better than what we could reasonably hope to get next year?On the other hand, it's remarkable how almost everyone on that team was at least pretty good, just an extremely balanced roster - something you couldn't even say of the 2018 team, which had a few glaring holes. Can Bloom be good/lucky enough to put together a roster like that? I'd like to find out... Well he’s starting with E Rod & Eovaldi, I don’t think it’s a sure thing that Perez gets his option picked up & Sale, what in September? So, three spots to fill. I sure hope he’s good enough because unfortunately he’s not going anywhere

Honestly: what is the argument against letting Chavis show us what he can do at 2B? I still think he could work there.

Was anybody not rooting for Arauz there ?
Does Chavis have a 1000 BA as a second baseman ?

I still think he could work there. me too. i don't think he'll hit enough for first base, but he might do enough at second base. need to see how he goes defensively there, but i don't see any reason we should need to see peraza as much as we have.

That's it I've watched quite enough of Arauz. That is a really good defensive talent, and the bat looks as if it's coming alive

That is a really good defensive talent, and the bat looks as if it's coming alive and now a really good that at bat against a tough pitcher; long at bat works the count full then lines a single. Idk what it is, but there's something about his play that stands out. I've noticed it since spring training.

5.2 innings is like a complete game for this staff.

So Martin Perez is actually a valuable member of the pitching staff. Chaim Bloom for emperor!

16 pitches, 11 strikes yet there's a walk in there. Go figure.

You can't stop him. You can only hope to slow him down.
