Dopes appreciation thread. Or 9/19 game thread. Or both

Totally and completely useless player.

And he grounds weakly to the pitcher to end it.

I guess the 2023 Red Sox don't appreciate the dopes.

Sadly is Urias the only option at 2nd base?

Huh? Pablo Reyes is my pick. Maybe also Cora's, if that matters next year.

Reyes is 30 years old, and the 156 at bats he has this year is a career high. The .732 OPS he has this year is also a career high, other than in the 58 at bats he had a rookie. He's a journeyman backup, and probably just fine as a backup. Urias was actually a full time player for Milwaukee in 2021 and 2022 and was pretty solid, if unspectacular. Even in his SSS this season with the Sox, he's OPSing .699. He's also very solid at second base.

I really don't any meaningful way that Reyes is a better player than Urias. Whether Urias is good enough is a different discussion.
