Sox are in a 3 way tie for 10th with 5.3 position player fWAR. 11th in wrC+ at 102. Defense continues to play well, now -6 RAA as a team good enough for 15th. Pitching fWAR is 17th at 3.4.

some bone headed mistakes aside kelenic has been solid and it's nice to role players step up with the stars on various nights. I hate to jinx it but Vargas Colson Mune being a projected yearly 10-14 WAR is a very solid young position player core.

Keep it how it is. This is the rare case when a 5% better optimal outcome isn't worth the loss of sporting intrique and honing of skills. The challenge should be a skill.

in 113 MLB games with 460 PA Colson: wRC+ 130 Fielding runs above avg: 14 fWAR: 4.4. So a cool 6 fWAR player over a full season, OK.

all his learning is at mlb level now. he's been fine. managed to at least salvage a decent start tonight and offense picked him up. we have nobody else to replace him that makes any sense.

Meanwhile royals reddit:

If they somehow win 80 games give Getz exec of the year I'm only half joking. I think it's closer to 75 but we'll see. There's def talent around again.

His HR was the difference in the end. Great job ripping that hanger. That's the key with how hard he swings every time.

Said I'd start 'em up again if and when it happened. Here we are. Keep it going!

Ump's got a hot date at Nobody's Darling after the game.

lol not even close

107 off the bat at a 43 launch angle, that's like a mortar shot.

wow nice job getting the force.

It's perfect imo. Hoops type nickname and it fits.

Can't raise your BABIP if all your balls leave the yard.

When the f*** did our defensive positioning get good?

it's nice having legit good players and probably some lightning in a bottle again.

a crazy inversion in chicago weather wise. gonna get some fog tonight I'd imagine based on how that smoke is sitting.

Wow another lazy backhand by their 2B. That's crazy.

One of the best SS in MLB.
