    I was referring specifically to backup infielders. Someone has to backup the infield, right? Especially 2B/SS, where the starters both have a career wRC+ that is <100 against RHP?

    A 73 wRC+ against RHP for Leury's career is not good. But it's significantly better than Alberto's 54, or Romy's 33.

    When your wRC+ numbers get that low, I don't think 73 or 54 or 33 really matter. Even though it's not the side that the Sox would prefer, Alberto is at least an above average hitter from one side.

    To put it another way, at 2B I'd take Alberto's 109 vs LHP and Andrus' 83 vs RHP over Andrus' 94 vs LHP and Leury's 71 vs RHP. Same for TA at SS

    Man, they really need to even up the pool play next time around.  DR, Venezuela and PR in the same group is just a killer.  Now we get to see Australia and Italy advance instead of one of those three?  Yawn

    That would involve sending multiple teams across the Pacific for pool play. Probably stuck with what we've got.

    I need the Soxtalk's community's assistance.  I just recently got a job offer in the city near the GRF.  I currently live in the far north side of city.  What are some decent suburbs to consider moving to in that area?

    I appreciate any assistance provided!

    Thanks.

    If you can afford it, Munster has the best school district. Close to the Borman/Ford.

    And you can find articles that say the Bears robbed the Panthers. Local media is always gonna spin it. 

    My opinion is that none of the QBs in this draft are worth giving up a haul for, so the Bears made out just fine. I know there were suggestions that the Bears trade Fields and draft a guy with 2 extra years of control, but I'd rather have 3 years of Fields than 5 years of any of these guys.

    If Leury is used IN THE CORRECT WAY, like every other freaking player that has so far failed during this contention window, he can be very useful. 

    The only correct way to use a guy with a 39 wRC+ is not at all.
