Nomar Mazara would make Fenway look like T ball

[Swiharts Ghost]

26 still plenty of pop maybe a great platoon with Hunter and fill in for Verdugo .

[Noles_1335]

Agreed

[Swiharts Ghost]

Agreed

 

Well Thankyou you are brilliant then .

League average hitter and league average fielder. Not the most exciting choice, but the Sox could do worse. His .781 OPS vs RHP is not ideal platoon material....

[Swiharts Ghost]

Ahh but it’s Fenway Notin and he’s a guy that hits opo Aton .Hes a 20 HR hitter an Arlington a few years .I think he’s a 30 hr guy here .....if not he’s peppering that wall a lot my friend .

Globe Life Park in Arlington (as well as Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago) is actually more home run friendly than Fenway. And a pull-hitting Mazara (28.1% the other way does not make him much of an opposite field hitter) would probably lose home runs in the cavernous RF at Fenway, especially since he is not a power hitter.

 

He’s a league average hitter and league average fielder. He was not non-tendered by one team and traded away for a minor leaguer by another all by the age of 25 because he is loaded with talent and potential.

 

But he is 25 and might turn it around. And the Sox could do worse...

This team is a total yawn. Bloom should be fired. I'm no longer going to be a fan unless they can sign NOMAR MAZARA.

 

I firmly believe that this player with less than 2 career fWAR in 579 games is going to make this team not be a yawn. That 90 WRC+ is going to be a ratings boon for NESN. His meager HR totals, bad baserunning and bad fielding are going to make this such an exciting team. He's the guy for sure.

I certainly hope the OP was not referring to his defense with that comment...

I mean, if he can shotput a ball the way a boy on my daughter's tball team does, that'd be something... Maybe they'll end every regular season game with a relay race against the other team?

He'd have to play "pitcher" or first base... because any T-ball fan knows that 99% of balls in play don't make it past the mound. But just make sure he doesn't run from the batter's box to third base.

Ah but there is an Atari 2600-like beauty in a baseball game where you know every ground ball that gets past an infielder can and probably will go for a home run...

[Red Foreman]

He already signed with the Tigers.

Maybe once we get Hippocrates, we can go sign Socrates Brito, Arquimedes Camineiro and Homer Bailey for our All Ancient Greek Team...

First we should sign Jake "Blues" Odorizzi (brother of Elwood) -- he's not ancient, but his namesake once had a bit part as John "Bluto" Blutarsky in an entire movie about Ancient Greeks...

I'm glad this is not the realistic thread.

[mvp 78]

Mazara currently is sitting at home, waiting for his chance to play teeball at Fenway.

[Larry Cook]

Does he have covid?

[mvp 78]

Dude hit 212/276/321. 3 HR's in 50 games. Statcast projects that he would have had 5 HR's if all his AB's were at Fenway.

He also projects for 24 DRS in 1200 innings in the field. Bradley never topped 16 DRS in any season.

 

Can you live with a .600 OPS with that type of defense?

Uh, I don't think you're looking at the right player.

 

Mazara:

-21 career DRS in OF

-0.6 UZR/150

-4.3 career dWAR
