I'm hoping we got a nice prospect in return with him too. Now the Sox have an upgrade until Casas is ready and more of that bloom loving prospect depth.

San Diego will be paying down a significant portion of the $44 million or so remaining on Eric Hosmer’s contract, per sources.

Does San Diego have any prospects left?

Maybe Orsillo is in the deal.

Now they're reporting SD is eating about 1/2 the salary maybe more, so it's probably not going to be a very good prospect. I'd rather take a DSL lottery ticket than another toolsy 24 year old milber at this point.

[Hugh2]

Maybe we can pick up Bobby Bonillas contact too.

[Jasonbay44]

I mean I guess he’s better than Franchy and we aren’t giving up anything valuable it sounds like. So whatever…

Basically.

Only took Boston 104 games to get a first baseman.

[Hugh2]

You gain about .300 OPS against LHP with Hosmer at 1B. There's the lost offense and then some from losing Vasquez with the improved defense behind the plate and at 1B.

We were #blessed to witness the Cordero experience.

I just read Franchy is going back to SD as the player to be blamed sooner. Reportedly, talksox will subsidize a hundred posts to help talkpads kickstart a new thread: Yoko... OH NO!

Did Dalbec die?

One of the few memories I have of Franchy is just getting hyped by watching youtube clips of him hitting bombs for the Pads and Orsillo yelling FRANCHY CORDERO! It was a good ear worm.

[mvp 78]

Did Dalbec die?

 

C'mon, we know he meant RHP...

[Hugh2]

Dalbec is at 3B right now, but where does he play when Devers comes back? As bad as Dalbec is against RHP Franchy is worse, so Franchy might be the odd man out when that time comes.

[Old Red]

Maybe Orsillo is in the deal.

 

Wow wouldn’t that be great not to listen to OB, and the likes of Timmy Wakefield yucking it up.

Franchy can't play 1b ever again.

 

The last 3 weeks:

357 OPS

-2 wRC+

51.1 K%

80.8 EV

169 wOBA

 

DFA

Worrying about where Bobby D, and Franchy end up? Not a chance.

Dalbec should be in Worcester. Franchy should be in Japan.

Outfield either. Another Bloom Cracker Jack prize.

How about Cordero and Northcut to SD?

[a700hitter]

I am not a big Hosmer fan, but he is a huge Defensive upgrade and e vent in a down Hosmer year, he is much better than our current platoon options. And maybe Hosmer has found a ballpark where he can excel offensively.

Dare one say a late bloomer?
