00:00Christian Campbell is like 0 for the world.

00:02They're moving him up and down the lineup.

00:04They're moving him from second base to the outfield.

00:06They're working him out at first base.

00:07Make sure you practice at first base just to really screw him up.

00:09So they're like trying to break him.

00:10They're like, I think we can break him.

00:12Like, I think, you don't think we can break Christian Campbell?

00:15Of course we can.

00:15We're going to move him all around, put pressure on at first base.

00:18Let's ruin one of our top prospects two months into the year.

00:21You don't think we can?

00:21You don't think we can ruin Christian Campbell?

00:23Watch.

00:24Watch this.

00:25He's 0 for, the guy's confidence needs to be in the toilet.

00:27So they're like, hit him clean up.

00:29Put him clean up.

00:30He'll think that's hilarious.

00:31So they put him clean up.

00:32He can't hit.

00:33Willier Abreu is cooled off since his hot start to the year.

00:37Trevor Story is the worst hitter in baseball.

00:40That's not hyperbole.

00:41That's not recency bias rich.

00:43That is, he's the worst hitter in baseball.

00:45Is that, do you have a stat to back that up?

00:47I was just going to say, is there?

00:49Well, I test for one.

00:50I test for sure he's the worst.

00:51I'll go with you on it.

00:52I just didn't know if you had a metric there.

00:54Well, they did have a bunch of different stats that were going around

00:57even before this weekend series, like where he ranks an OPS of like

01:01qualified guys and things like that.

01:03And it was in the toilet.

01:04Not well.

01:05He's so bad.

01:06He is an automatic out.

01:08His OPS is under 600.

01:11Now, again, OPS is on base plus slugging.

01:15Some guys slug 600.

01:17He is under 600 when you add the two of those statistics together.

01:21So on ESPN, they do like, if you click on the player,

01:24it tells you where they rank in these categories.

01:26Oh, great.

01:27So he's tied for 142nd average at 222.

01:31To the OPS, all it says is 150 plus.

01:33They don't even give you the specific number.

01:35After 150, we don't even rank them anymore.

01:38Deep.

01:38So he's useless.

01:40Trevor Story is beyond useless.

01:42And then I'm not going to pile on Abraham Toro and David Hamilton

01:47because they shouldn't even be in the lineup.

01:48But those guys are also in your lineup.

01:50Plus, Raffaella, who's really just a glove.

01:52He's a glove.

01:53And yet, Roman Anthony can't get ticketed to the big team.

01:55So Roman Anthony is the best prospect in all of baseball.

01:59Not just the Red Sox system.

02:00That would even still be a conversation.

02:01But the whole Major League Baseball.

02:03Best prospect.

02:05You're like, all right, well, what's keeping him in the minors?

02:07Oh, the team must be really good.

02:08Eh!

02:10The team must be really healthy.

02:12Eh!

02:12Like, why is he not with the club?

02:15They must not be playing David Hamilton and Abraham Toro

02:18and all these guys that are getting wrong, wrong, wrong.
