Thread: The Rafael Devers Performance Thread

  1. #1

    The Rafael Devers Performance Thread

    This kid is really something! The Red Sox better lock this kid up long term. I don’t even want to imagine this team without him. Hitting for power and average and he is flippin’ 22 years old!
    The Bills, The Bruins, The Sabres & The Red Sox.

    I wouldn't go signing him to any long term deals just yet, but Devers has been a breath of fresh air this season. By all accounts, he worked extremely hard in the offseason and continues to work extremely hard, taking tutelage from the likes of Bogaerts and JD.

    It's nice to see his hard work paying off, both offensively and defensively.

    Looking more and more like a superstar.

    And since Xander doesn't have his own performance thread, a shout out to him too.

    I have gained a lot of respect for Xander this year, for many reasons.

    I think Vaz does have one someplace...full of negativity and various and sundry crap. Nobody wants to see that thread brought back to the top of the list I imagine.

    Vaz knows I love him. He doesn't need his own thread.

    Well if you love Vazquez, maybe Slasher needs his own thread...

    Doesn't Vaz have his own thread somewhere?
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Ha. I'm all for giving Slasher his own thread, but he knows I love him too. There's plenty of love to go around.

    He does, but it's not very flattering.

    I got tons of love for my boy Vaz. Been singing his song since AA and now after the TJS and hand issue last year we are seeing the AS catcher he truly is. on BOTH sides of the game. Ill be honest, I didn't expect the bat to be this good this quick. He deserves to be in the ASG this year. No doubt

    It’s fun to compare Bryce Harper’s stats to Rafi’s this season. Rafi’s BA is .80 higher than that of a player with a 330 million dollar contract. I do not expect much of a drop off from Devers this year. He is hitting breaking pitches, fastballs, cutters... you name it. He’s handling off speed stuff like a 10 year vet right now.

    Any hotter and his teeth would be melting. Got on base in 4 out of 5 plate appearances last night.. including an early jack to give the SOX the lead.
    The productive performance extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which he has batted .529 (18-for-34) with 11 runs batted in.
    He is currently .331/.382/.554 on the season with 15 home runs, 59 RBI and 66 runs scored.
