I no longer see Dalbec in our long term plans.
    He was a decent defensive 3Bman, so I expected and still expect him to be better at 1B.

    The biggest surprise is his lack of walks.

    He has lacked in production and has not met expectations, but the weird thing is, he is 5th on the team in RBIs despite batting 9th and behind some of the most putrid OBP batters in recent Red Sox history.

    5th in RBI

    8th in PAs

    He's also 5th in XBHs (24).

    As for the horrific OBP (.259). His replacements:
    .231 Duran (move Kike to 1B)
    .230 Santana
    .228 Cordero
    .221 Chavis

    Franchy Cordero expected to join Red Sox today, source says. No move official yet.

    if the later is true, Bloom will have a very good idea of what to do in the next couple of weeks when he "finishes" his evaluations on Duran, Cordero, Gonzalez, Santana, Chavis, etc.

    I don’t think Marwin Gonzalez is much danger

    Yes, but we just love fighting about the 25th/26th man on the club. They should be an All Star instead.

    His glove is way to good. For a playoff team, it's beneficial to have a late inning defensive replacement like him around.

    I totally agree, but at one point he was 5th or 6th in team PAs.

    That's not right.

    His real value is probably not even playing, but allowing Cora to use others knowing he has Marwin to cover any emergency situation that arises.

    8 days is not enough time to finish any evaluation, but we may know more.

    The evaluation for most of them started several weeks ago.

    If Bloom makes a trade(s) he will probably going to trade/cut some players soon.

    Marwin's flexibility allows Cora to PH and use all the other bench players where he pleases without worrying about someone getting hurt, later in the game.

    Since he can play almost every position but catcher, being on the back of the bench is best.

    Yes, of course.

    I do think much more time is needed with Duran, and Dalbec needs a longer look he may not get with the Sox.

    Cordero and Chavis could benefit by playing everyday, but that ain't happening.
