    If only the Sox had history with moving a pure hitter from 2b to LF. Ah well, nevertheless.

    You mean like Wil Cordero? Or Chico Walker?

    Cordero was more of a SS than a 2B.

    You wouldn’t say that if you ever saw him play SS…

    Can't say I watched many Expos games in 92-95. Negative TZ wherever he played except 1b. Yuck.

    If Yorke cannot be a reliable defender, he drops a fair amount as he becomes more of a utility or COF guy. Reminds me of a guy the Yanks had named Nick Solak

    If the guy can hit, and it seems like he can, he's an easy candidate for LF or DH not utility.

    It's not a terrible comparison, but that's not to say Yorke will turn into Solak.

    Yorke in low A as a 19 year old: 323/413/500, 10 HR
    Solak in low A as a 21 year old: 321/412/421, 3 HR

    Yorke had more HR's in 2021 in A ball than Solak did in 2 years (including an age 22 season in A+).

    Guys who can play the position but not well usually end up as utility guys, COFers and DH's. Helps the team out if Yorke can handle 2b, 3b in a pinch and not be absolutely abysmal

    He can probably play FT LF and not embarrass himself, especially with a team like the Sox, who play half their games in Fenway

    @SPChrisHatfield
    Another solid start from Kutter Crawford last night in the DR. 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R (0 ER), 2 BB, 5 K. Included getting out of a bases loaded jam with Ks of Emilio Bonifacio and Chris Owings.

    Now at 21.1 IP, 0.42 ERA, 23 K, 8 BB for the winter.

    I'd put Binelas after Winckowski at 14 (MLB Pipeline has him at 16).
    Hamilton would be after McDonough at 22.

    22 Yorke
    12 Downs
    10 Bello
    6.0 Mata
    5.4 Hamilton

    4.8 Winckowski
    3.9 Gonazalez
    3.5 Seabold
    3.0 McDonough
    3.0 Rosario
    2.9 Groome

    (Duran is 20 and Whitlock is 17.)
