Two weeks in the past, I compiled a listing of all of the gamers Alex Cora has penciled in across the diamond and asked you to vote for the Red Sox participant who has performed the worst at every place. To attempt to hold it truthful (although it’s not truthful, however neither is the All-Star poll) gamers who have been on the IL at the moment, or within the minors, or now not with the workforce didn’t seem on the poll. Additionally, no place gamers have been thought of as pitchers, even when they pitched in a recreation.
On the one hand, these poll outcomes are extraordinarily well timed, as MLB prepares to interrupt for the All-Star Game by the top of the day immediately. On the opposite, many issues have modified for our Red Sox, and our fanbase, since balloting opened two weeks in the past…veteran gamers have returned from the IL, high Fubar vote-getters have been demoted to Triple-A, Alex Cora has made some drastic adjustments to his lineup—ones which appeared to have helped—and WE’VE WON NINE FREAKING GAMES IN A ROW.
That can actually flip the temper round, gained’t it? As we head off for the break, let’s be ok with having moved on from the place we’ve been (if just for this lovely stretch of July video games).
Thanks to your time and curiosity on this thought train. With out additional ado, listed below are your 2025 Pink Sox Fubars.
The Outcomes
Beginning Pitcher: Walker Buehler
He ran away with this one, with 98% of the vote. His final begin (a high quality one) was higher than we’re used to, however I wouldn’t say he’s turn out to be dependable or something.
Catcher: Connor Wong
Additionally not a shock, and one other 98-percenter. A month earlier than we solid these ballots, Matt Gross questioned why the Powers That Be chose Wong over Yasmani Grandal. It’s nonetheless a superb query.
First Base: Connor Wong
Oh, look who it’s once more! Regardless of solely taking part in one inning on the place, not having an official at-bat, and accurately executing his one likelihood within the discipline for a Fielding Share of 1.000, Wong is your voting chief. Nick Sogard (since returned to Worcester) was an in depth runner-up on this race although.
Second Base: David Hamilton
The clear winner, with 92% of the poll. Additionally despatched all the way down to Worcester since ballots have been solid.
Third Base
Now that is extra of a race! Just one participant can take residence the honors, although there are a number of within the combine right here. After all, with Alex Bregman’s return from the IL, this has turn out to be a moot level.
1. Nick Sogard, 29% (95 votes)
2. Nate Eaton, 23% (75 votes)
3. Marcelo Mayer, 21% (69 votes)
4. Abraham Toro, 18% (59 votes)
Romy Gonzalez was your most well-liked third baseman.
Shortstop: David Hamilton
With 60% of the vote.
Left discipline: Jarren Duran
With 38% of the vote. I discovered it fascinating that he was almost neck-and-neck with Nate Eaton, at 36%.
Centerfield: Jarren Duran
One other two-timer on this checklist. Although to be truthful, his solely competitors at this place was the excellent Ceddanne Rafaela.
Proper discipline: Roman Anthony
Anthony was the clear winner in proper discipline, with a 64% disapproval ranking.
DH: Connor Wong
Wong ran away with this race too, with 73% of the vote in a crowded discipline. If Wong’s slash line isn’t an ideal embodiment of Matt Gross’s analysis of Drag Factor, I don’t know what’s.
Reliever: Brennan Bernardino
He took residence 48% of the vote; his solely close to competitors was Luis Guerrero with 36%. You appear to be fairly glad with the remainder of our aid corps.
