Sox Considering Moving Pedroia to SS

[bsox0407]

Sorry Dipre....but I had to ask. See' date='[b'] you're the only one who has lied and claimed others have.[/b] That's all. A simple "no, I researched it" or "yes, you got me would have sufficed". I didn't claim you were lying, I was just asking. You're the only one here we can't be sure of.

 

That is all.

 

Am i the only one who caught this. :lol: Or am I making s*** up? lolz

[Dojji]

Yeah. I mean, if the guy's going to smarm, at least he could try to post an internally consistent smarm.

He just doesn't know when to cut his losses.

 

I'm running out of creative ways to school him.

 

You guys got any ideas?

get in his cab and take a huge s*** in it. It may improve the smell of the ******** he is slinging.

A ball and gag come to mind...

Stop copying my style, holmes.

I'm cool enough to be part of your first post.

 

And you're obviously an old poster coming back if you're using my old handle.

 

Who are you?

The plot thickens! A new mystery to unfold here at TalkSox!

Don't mean to interrupt the flow of the conversation, but I don't believe that Pedroia has the range to play SS. He is a very strong defensive 2B, and they should look to find a stop gap solution at SS until Derrick Gibson, Casey Kelly, or the Cuban prospect we signed can emerge and take over long term.

Most that are for Pedroia moving to SS also said a defensive 3B would have to be brought in to supplement any range issues. If Pedroia moves to SS, I believe it spells the end of Lowell's Red Sox tenure.

The problem was you saying "That Cuban prospect we signed" instead of taking the time of looking up his name "Jose Iglesias" just like you did now that you've been called out on it.

[TheKilo]

you make one hole to plug another' date=' when the hole you plug is harder to fill than the one you make.[/quote']

 

That's if you are operating under the assumption that Pedroia would be a league average defensive SS.

 

I do not think he can do that.

[TheKilo]

If Pedroia moves to SS would the Sox attempt to plug the 2B hole by signing Figgins? He couldman 2B for one year and slide over to 3B afterward. I hate the idea of Adrian Beltre.

 

Beltre would be a zillion times better than Figgins because (a) he'll cost less and ( his game won't decline rapidly over the course of his next contract.

It would be hard to tell if he declined.

[TheKilo]

Really? Figgins? The guy whose entire game is based on speed?

Figgins is the type of player who does not age well.

 

Beltre is the exact opposite.

[TheKilo]

Don't you get it Dipre?

 

Figgins would SUPERCHARGE the offense.

^ That is f***ing hilarious.

[example1]

The funny thing about this board is that when people disagree about one player vs. another the lesser player is always painted as virtually ineffective.

 

Do you really believe Chone Figgins woudl be a BAD pickup for this team? I think he would be a great addition. I agree about the length and cost and that his cost will likely overvalue him, but all things being equal I'd prefer Figgins over Beltre.

 

All things not being equal I think there are good arguments for Beltre, or neither.

The funny thing here is you're talking like you can have Figgins for anything less than top FA money (9 mill +) while losing a draft pick, and him declining over the life of the contract, which will probably exceed 3 years.

 

Beltre can probably be had on a two-year deal with an option, cheaper, and with higher potential to produce overall while not costing a draft pick.

This makes sense.

 

Neither player will likely be signed by the Sox, however.

 

We need a shortstop.

Miguel Tejada was not offered arbitration.

35 doubles and 20 homers easy.

[BSN07]

And the Sox sign Scutaro. End thread. Exit stage right.

He is Cuban isn't he? There was no intent of racism, which would be impossible because Cuban is a nationality.
