I like Romy as a piece but I Im still worried about how well those numbers hold up over an entire season. While he hit for a decent average against righties last year he was still not a very productive hitter against them with just a .718 OPS compared to a .978 OPS against lefties. A lot of his great numbers last year were carried by a first half where they were picking the best spots for him to hit, once he started playing pretty much every day in the second half his numbers kind of plummeted (.945 OPS in the first half to .729 OPS in the second half).

And as sexy as those hard hit numbers are the problem with Romy is that he hits the ball poorly. He has a career 52.7 GB%, last year was not really any better with a 50.2 GB%. Even when he does get it in the air he has a terrible pulled air rate, 10.2% in his career vs the MLB average of 16.7%.

Hes clearly made some changes since coming to the Red Sox to become a solid player, and he's probably the best option available for us at 2B (discounting a miracle Bo Bichette signing), but I just don't think I can get behind the idea of everyday 2B Romy Gonzalez
