Yeah I know, but just how big of an impact can a RF's defense actually be? Can it be worth about 100 OPS points? I doubt it. And I bet they could coax an OPS out of the guys they have, or from someone in the minors or available for a heck of a lot less, that would be about 100 points higher than Mondesi.

I'm partial to right fielders with an arm that keeps someone going from first to third or second to home, or from third to home on a fly.

It boggles my mind, BTW, that the Red Sox have given up 20 fewer runs than anyone else in the league, and 45 fewer than New York.
