Doubront will start the season on the DL, recouping from an off-season hernia operation

[riverside sluggers]

Been tracking this kid in the minors for over 4 years now. Look forward to him facing Manny in his return to Fenway

[Keeper]

Haven't seen much of him, but he reminds me a little of Brett Cecil with his arm action.

[soxfan74]

One thing I like about Doubrant is he throw alott of strikes earli in the count. Which is big for a reliever. He seams to have made an easy transition to the bullpen.

[Dojji]

I don't want to see this kid wasted on the bullpen longterm. He can start.

 

If it'll get him into the majors and get him used to facing big league hitters, a couple years in the pen won't kill him -- heck, Curt Schilling started that way and he's probably a Hall of Famer. But longterm he's got to be seen as a starter IMHO.

It may be tough to find a rotation spot with the Sox in the next couple or three years.

[Dojji]

That still leaves 29 other teams. Lefties with #3 starter potential (which is about where I see Prince Felix) are very fungible. It's pretty easy to turn them into other players via trade since everyone really likes to have one.

...or they keep him in the pen until Dice K's contract is up and the Sox say sayonnara.

That's not a bad idea.

[Palodios]

Two years is a long time, especially with this team's track record of bringing up quality pitching. I would prefer to keep that spot open for Kelly.

[Keeper]

Kelly took a huge step back this year. I wouldn't hold my breath with him.

Neither one is a lock as a stud major league starter. Hold them both as long as possible and keep the better one.

[Dojji]

We'll have opportunities to sign pitchers between now and then. I'm not convinced that Doubront is a guy we need to obsess about keeping, especially with Richardson flashing some nice stuff in his rookie campaign.

 

Trading Doubront atm is trading from a position of depth. It'd depend on what we could talk out of other teams, obviously, but you always contemplate doing that if you think it improves your team.

 

My Doubront trade scenario is something like Doubront for Napoli, although I can't blame others for not going for it. Napoli's a slugger with high power potential who I think would solve our issues at 1B but there's no denying he'd be a bit of a project.

I'm normally on board for a lot of your crazy ideas but the Napoli one just doesn't make that much sense. He's going to be 29 next year and will MAYBE post a .840 or so OPS over a full season which is just not going to cut it for the Boston Red Sox.

Kelly took a huge step back this year. I wouldn't hold my breath with him.

 

i wouldn't call it a huge step back. he's a 20 year old competing against people who for the most part 3-4 years older than him so it's expected that he's going to struggle. still, i'm not a huge fan of him. i think he's another michael bowden and his stuff won't play out against major leaguers

[Palodios]

While I'm very intrigued by having Napoli and Vmart share C and 1B, I still dont think its going to happen, and especially not for Doubront.

I see Dojji's points. But I like what you say better.
