I had intended to write up a big thing on this topic this past weekend, but I got my second COVID shot (yay!) on Saturday and was knocked out cold all Sunday.
These are all valid concerns, but let’s remember we’re talking about a lineup that leads MLB in runs, BA and SLG. If you think the Sox have offensive issues, look around.
But it is definitely frustrating to watch three guys on the extreme right end of the defensive spectrum continue to hit so poorly.
We know who Renfroe is, and we Sox fans have seen similar versions named Tom Brunansky and Rob Deer. Basically a solid defensive RF with power and lots of swing-and-miss.
The problem with Renfroe is the Sox are being forced to play him too much.
Dalbec and Cordero are bigger concerns because they could be total busts.
You’re right that Dalbec has done this at every level, but he’s also always struck out at a frequency that makes it very hard to keep a starting MLB job, especially at 1B.
Cordero needs a few weeks of everyday Triple A at-bats, because he’s hitting nothing hard.
It's an excellent half a lineup! Hopefully they can get a bit more out of the back three or four because I think at some point they're going to need it.

Glad you’re vaxxed and feeling better.
