Ceddanne Rafaela's patience at plate not enough in loss
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sat, Aug 10th 7:13am EDT
Ceddanne Rafaela went 1-for-2 with a run scored and two walks in the Red Sox's 8-4 defeat to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's loss, Rafaela's ability to reach base multiple times was a small silver lining. His performance this season has been fairly average with a .257 batting average and a modest power-speed combo, highlighted by 13 homers and 16 stolen bases. His on-base skills were on display with the two walks, but with a low walk rate and a high strikeout rate this season, consistency remains an issue. Fantasy managers should view Rafaela as a potential depth piece rather than a consistent starter, given his current form and underlying metrics.
