Trevor Story over his last 7 games:
9-for-27
.333/.367/.529/.896
1 HR
2 2B
11 RBI
6 K, 2 BB
Before this stretch, he was slashing .140/.137/.240/.377. He’s raised that up to .208/.222/.338/.560. Progress. Always a good sign when he’s going to RF with authority.
Brayan Bello over his last 4 outings this spring (2 Red Sox, 2 Team DR):
19 IP
9 Hit
1 ER (1 HR)
23 K
1 BB
Exciting to see him string together some good days with the Curveball and Changeup. Nothing like his first two starts of camp.
@SamskiNYC They need a little more pop than what they had last year to begin with. Also there is a hole at either second or third right now. They will add another bat, no doubt. Some worry about a full year of Mayer since he’s often injured and Story playing 150+ might be tough again.
@Jared_Carrabis Aggressively for the Sox is “checking in” for another team. Probably won’t even make an offer. I’m not believing it either until they prove me wrong. FSG & Breslow are clueless.
@RotoGut I still think Bregman ends up back in Boston. Maybe I’m just delusional and hopeful but I doubt he wants to play in Canada and like you said the DBacks aren’t going to be super competitive. Shouldn’t have opted out in the first place.
@tylermilliken_ Think they have Rafaela play a little 2B now which softens the log jam in the OF? Could move Rafaela to CF in the late innings and Hamilton to 2B off the bench. Hamilton playing everyday is tough on the offense.
