Agreed, and this includes Grissom. I also think the recent play we have seen by DHam, Romy, Rafaela and even Valdez, post call up, has been better...

Grissom looked to be the best chance of respectability? Was that, because of his bat, because he hadn’t proved anything with the glove.

Give Valdez a 1Bman mitt inAAA. It’s obvious he can never play 2B well enough.

What I'm saying is that this depth today for the near future is better than they have had in recent memory.

Torgo's family and friends would get together and watch it from time to time. Aside from that, I doubt anyone else would.

It is. Casas is NOT close to being ready.

We do have many options in 2025 and beyond, but 2024 looked pretty bad, pre-trade and not great after the trade, either. 2B was a need for 2024. ...

In the flow of the thread, it was easy to interpret you suggesting 1b as a potential landing spot for any new RHH…

You’re assuming they all stay at 2b/SS or stay in the organization. And as I mentioned earlier, when Grissom was Mayer’s age (minus 6 days), he was...

I feel bad for the guy. He managed to put together a 9 year MLB career, something nearly 90% of those good enough to even reach MLB can’t do. And...

In the latest SP update, Dalvinson Reyes debuted at #43. He received a 450K bonus (largest pitching bonus this year). 16 IP 0.00 ERA 0.62 WHIP...

Can't we let the guy bask in the glory of that home run against the Yanks for just a few days? :cool:

B]If we did not have Ref to DH vs RHPers, one of MLBs top 25 batters vs righties, Valdez would be very capable in that role.

Manos: Hands of Fate is two hours well spent when accompanied by MST3K. Not sure anyone has ever seen that movie any other way…

He had that big year in 1980.

Agree on him not being an ideal DH, but as long as that contract keeps him on the team I don’t see much of a change unless he really goes into a bad...

I think if they acquire Mark Canha, he plays DH against LHP with Refsnyder in RF. I think if they acquire Randal Grichuk, he plays RF against LHP...

It could, but it would be better to improve. My point was only it looks better, now than it has for the last 3-4 years. Being better than #30 is...

No one is talking about either, but I’m just not counting on Casas coming back, and just producing right away, and I don’t think anyone should.

DH is a position and it should be treated like one. It only differs in that it has no defensive requirements. Ideally, you want David Ortiz or...

This is very true, but you can’t slow him down even more by benching/platooning him. The Sox are just going to have to tough out that part of the...

Ole mister silk hands he was. Manos de seda. I'd take Manos: the Hands of Fate over Mario Mendoza TBH.

The Red Sox haven’t really done to much of that going back to Cepeda.

It's been a lefties doubles park going back to the 40's.

How deep they are depends on Mayer, and Story.

The point should be that everyone should play DH and probably just not default to one guy that can't field OR hit.

Fenway is just a very weird ecosystem. They messed it up by adding the 406 Club (or whatever it is called now) which reduced HR's and doubles...

In the end, I think you’ll find we might not be as deep up the middle as we think right now. I’m sure most rank Mayer well ahead of Grissom, but...

But his career BA was .215, meaning even Mendoza was above the Mendoza Line…
