Maybe. Id say the Sox degree of pressing need is an order of magnitude higher. Edited November 30, 2021 by Chick Mercedes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 750 roster slots out there, there is a ton of mediocrity and worse getting MLB jobs. Not as a starter, which Leury is despite a lot of guys here being blind to it Edited November 30, 2021 by Moncada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 1 hour ago, YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! said: I’m not the biggest Leury fan in the world but this is misleading. He was atrocious in the first couple years of his career but has improved substantially since then. He had an 82 wRC+ in 2019 when he played 140 games. He had a 98 wRC+ this year and a 98 wRC+ in 2017. I don't know if he's really improve substantially. His plate discipline is a little better. Just my thoughts.

After seeing the contracts the big FAs got, no chance the Sox we’re going to be involved. Preaching the don’t judge the off season til it’s over. And yes floating the idea of Vaughn at second.

Also, where are you seeing that he’s the starter at 2B? Logic. He has started like all of the playoff games and started most all games where he has been healthy. They signed him to be a starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the braves, right before you sign, ask "would you like to donate 1% of your contract to our charity?" and stare at you the whole time? Just like a billion dollar company like Jewel asking for a donation at checkout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly why having Leury, Romy, and even more available is important. Because the odds of this team having a good number of injuries next year remain high.
