Sox OF could be really special this year. All three have the potential to win a Gold Glove. Will it be as good as the Rice/Lynn/Dewey OF of the 70's, the "Impossible Dream" OF of Yaz/Reg Smith/Tony C. or the Dom/Zarilla/Teddy Of of the 50's, who knows. None of these guys are a Ted Williams or will be close. But they are already better defensively that either combo.

Ramirez/Damon/Nixon?
And Harry Hooper/Tris Speaker/Duffy Lewis

The $64 is, if Duran/Rafaella/Abreu are all having epic seasons, all are All Stars, Sox running away with the division, what do they do with Roman Anthony if he's tearing apart the IL? Trade one of the four with sweeteners to Miami for Sandy Alcantara?

Basically, yes. But not necessarily Alcantara...

Rafaela is signed long-term with a team friendly deal (and is right handed). So, it'll be Duran or Abreu. Which would upset a lot of fans...

The other team would have to take Masa, too...

But as mentioned earlier - This is a good problem to have.... As is Marcelo Mayer - If Story and Bregman are having a good year...

Largely depends on the infield situation IMO. If they're suffering with injuries at 2b/SS, you may see Rafaela there more and it opens up the opportunity for Anthony to play. He can play center, though he might be more suited for the corners. Not an awful situation

I also wouldn't be shocked if Rafaela struggles. I'm a little wary about the k/bb numbers

Mookie the Betrayer was what he was. JBJ and Ben in 10D had short shelf lives. Thought more of Mike Greenwell, Tony Armas, Jacoby Ellsbury

"They say" he's been working on it.

Spring training - 38AB - 6BB - 4SO
If the outfielders hit above average, I can live with that. Don't have put up Williams like numbers. A Gold Glove OF with a decent pitching staff is a hell of an asset. Rafa, Duran, Casas and Bregman can do the heavy lifting for the offense

Had Yanks -1.5. Was sweating just a little bit LOL

I totally forgot I have Williams as my closer so while I was at game I was like, YES F THIS UP! LOL

But I forgot how crappy the Brewers are.

Also - It was Opening Day.... I know it was a 3 pm start but my god was Yankee Stadium DEAD! No life what so ever!

ngl, The Stein actually looks like a cool place for a baseball game. Refreshing change of pace from the Trop.

Yes! Defensively, the Mookie/JBJ/Benintendi outfield was the best grouping I’ve ever seen for the Sox. This one could be just as good. Wouldn’t surprise me to see all 3 in the mix for gold gloves this year. Suddenly, the Red Sox have + defense all over the place after years of horrible horrible defense. It should be much easier on the pitchers, too.

Just want you people to know that its not my alt.

I hate the yankees and root for their opponents as often as possible, but not like this clown.
