I don’t disagree but we had bad D and bad O for years.

I keep hearing the Sox desperately need a right-handed bat. But where is this bat supposed to play?

Brilliantly done. You completely ignored that the 2004 Sox scored 52 more runs than anyone else and had an insane team OPS of .832. Still, I stand...

He was brought in at posts 610 and again in 612, which was the one I responded to that you followed up with. But he gets mentioned on this board a...

I’ve watched a few games this year in person and on TV. I don’t feel qualified to call it an age-related decline, which is certainly possible…

DeJong's name was not on this page (42) until you mentioned it. So all my stats are on Nick Ahmed. Now that I know you are offering DeJong up,...

Being 30, you wouldn't attribute the decline completely to age either. IDK. Not watching him day in and day out so only can comment on the metrics...

I clearly said "backup SS (to) bring in for the 8th and 9th inning." His bat is fine on the bench and in a limited sample against tough lefties (733...

Cespedes was eligible to come off the IL today, but is still not in the Salem lineup. He has not played since being called up from FCL. Let me do...

FYI, Pokey Reese played in 96 games as the Sox SS in 2004. That team was knee deep in great bats and could afford a no-hit SS like Pokey. If memory...

You're combining two players. The numbers above are from Chicago White Sox SS Paul DeJong, who is 30 years old with an OPS of .717 and 16 HRs. ...

Still wonder why Jamie Westbrook gets the call over Meidroth...

A SS who can't hit (OPS below .600), is struggling on defense this year, is 34, and has been DFA'd by a team with a losing record. Sounds perfect to...

Really in this case, he’s having his one bad year defensively. He has shown he has the skill set…

I could have sworn he was already DFA'd this year or we had at least discussed him. He has the same fWAR as Rafaela. As a backup SS, they could do a...

Yes and most likely.

Nick Ahmed was DFAd yesterday…

Your right, and $12M is out of the Red Sox price range.

95.7 mph, 91', xBA 370 98.8 mph, 339', xBA 470 87.0 mph, 314', xBA 060 Total xBA of 300 vs 667 BABIP. Unstainable BABIP!

Valdez can hit major league pitching and makes no money. He absolutely has trade value. Just not to any team seeking a 2b…

No chance. He's signed through 2026 and is actually a good player.

-8 DRS, -1 OAA, -7.6 UZR/150 Can we get a GOOD SS?

I saw Nico Hoerner mentioned the other day.

DeJong.

Sox are energized right now. Playing with a lot of confidence. On the other hand, the Yankees look demoralized. Almost expecting to lose.

His hard hit and line drive rate last night says otherwise!

Unsustainable BABIP!

They'll need someone who can actually play defense. Rafaela at SS is as bad as Valdez is at 2b (-6 DRS, -9 OAA, -23.4 UZR/150).

Last game: .667/.800/1.000 What did he do last night?

Last 5 games: 211/286/421 What has he done lately? :confused:
