He was already very good last season

He was but he really came on towards the end of the season.

I'm looking for him to become a fixture in batting lineup, become an all-star, and get that big contract. He needs to become the new face of this team.

He needs to stop striking out so much, but he flashed some power and we know he's a defensive beast

He was a 2.4 WAR player in only 255 PA

Ellsbury was a .9 WAR player in 500 PA :heh:

Mookie Betts is the new face tho, he's a monster

I really hope he improves his at-bat decision making. He gets too eager when he sees a ball that he thinks he should swing at. I'll chalk it up to him still figuring out the major league.

Yeah, I don't know, not making contact has always been the knack on him. At worst he's a defensive ace at a premium position

Between Betts, Bogaerts and JBJ tho :whew:

I have four years to enjoy that Porcello contract. I'm glad Dombrowski got stuck with some trash ass deals in Boston like he left behind in Detroit. :blessed:
