Tris Speaker (94) is hitting .333/.403/.611, which is quite pleasing. As mentioned earlier, he is not happy to be playing RF, and he has only achieved a 35 rating in RF to date. But with that slash line, I can afford to be patient with his defense. He should rate 65 in RF in due time.

My final "upgrade," Nomar Garciaparra at 2B, has been a disaster so far. He is hitting worse than Lindor, and, of course, is fielding worse while he learns the position. I'm going to end this experiment, and bring back Lindor for the remainder of the season, as he can at least accumulate some WAR with his 80 fielding at 2B.
Good job. 67pct is good in any league. ...😁
