Yet, for many of the positions, your excuse for not putting the 2016 player was their inabilities on defense. Then for the outfield, you decided to completely ignore defense. Yes Manny had an amazing year in 04 (even though, like you said earlier, offensive numbers were inflated) but in 2016 we have 3 outfielders with above average defense and offense. Come on man!

Holt is the weak link here as well, but if you factor in Young and Benintendi it looks like the best defensive outfield the Sox have had since the 70s.
