If he plays 150+ games a year for the remainder of his contract around his career average, it won't matter what position it's at. He'll be in, although maybe not first ballot.
The guy has been an anomaly, to be sure. On the other hand, the hammerhead shark is out there swimming around. Statistics guarantee outliers as well as norms. I don't know where he will wind up. This week he is AL co-player of the week. I'm happy for him now.
Yeah, Fenway will drive a lot of this. Yaz was quite the opposite field guy. Mauer, obviously. Thome, too. I'm having a tougher time thinking up righties. Miggy? Bautista?
I agree. At least Kubel looks to be recovered from his injury woes last year. The thing I appreciate most about Colabello is his willingness to make adjustments, and that he seems to recognize it on his own. That will serve him well as pitchers start making adjustments for him.
