He had an OPS+ of 107 in 300 ABs last year and a 92 this year. The guys you named couldn't do that in their dreams. He takes walks better than anyone on this team. He plays both the infield and the outfield well enough and with speed. None of the guys you listed can do that. Remember when yolmer had that half decent year in 2017, and we all said that guy would be useful on a contenders bench? That's what Kemp is.

He’s way more useful than every single one of those guys.

He's never had more than 300 AB's. He's a significantly better hitter than Sanchez at the moment.

Much

It must be nice to have a team that needs to DFA a guy like Tony Kemp

Is there enough evidence to say the Sox are any smarter?

I'd rather they just resign Avi if this is the route were going

.7 WAR because the Mariners insist on playing him in the outfield everyday, his bat's been pretty productive

You’re leaving out the plus glove

So where do you get he has to be ichiro to take that high? Those are absolutely absurd expectations.

What percentage of Sox fans would know his name/what he did if it weren’t for the tear down.

Holy shit throw the GD ball

I have no idea how Alfaro is as fast as he is looking at him

Yeah the life on it is new

Lopez looks great early.

Why is it that’s it’s only guys on KC and guys who been through KC that wear the arm protection Jay has?

Yeah I’m not sure people who think it’s a “firing” realize how shitty of a job am scouting actually is.

Hostetler named special assistant to GM. Sounds like a promotion?

This is obviously a lie

Their issues are much more on the development side in my opinion

I think burdi and burger were questionable process, but Collins was a fine pick. Idk how you can complain about getting top 40+ prospects out of the last two

This got me thinking, the relationship between Scouting director and PD director has got to be tenuous. I imagine they’re always trying to blame each other for the losses and take credit for wins. Edit: not referring to Hostetler and Getz specifically. Just in general.

Right? Maybe Nick Hostetler got a promotion and they are backfilling. Maybe he got fired and are replacing him. Maybe they're just shuffling deck chairs.

That could mean like ten different things
