April 6, 20223 yr Doing this blind because it's more fun. CF ahead of Robert would be Buxton, Trout(?), ... drawing a blank now. I hope this isn't extremely obvious that will be embarrassing. NL CF ...is it marte?
April 6, 20223 yr Just now, Quin said: Robert #1 at end of season. And let's hope for baseball's sake it's not just due to trout, buxton, acuna with missing PAs due to injury. I'm sure Acuna's acl isn't going to be too big a deal but trout is starting to really breakdown.

Yeah I guess it's hard to say now that there are projections have changed with Pollock. Would have been a crapshoot for them guessing how many games each of Vaughn/Sheets/Engel/Leury got in RF. They currently project Vaughn/Sheets to be 5-15% above average on offense. They are pretty bearish on Engel both offensively and defensively. Have him begged for .3 WAR in 42 games after posting .7 WAR and 1.2 WAR in 36 & 39 games in 2020 & 2021 respectively.
April 7, 20223 yr Author Interesting note about the overall rankings. All teams have at least one position group in the bottom 3rd of the position rankings, except (you might have guessed it) Tampa, whose lowest ranked group is CF at 19. The Sox are one of only 5 other teams with only one such position group.
