gawd forbird JH would actually have to spend some money. it's not like he's a billionaire or anything.

 

Don't kid yourself. The fans pay those salaries, not John Henry.

No, it’ll be some out of the box ******** that you will try to tie yourself in knots to justify at some point.

 

I know it's coming.

 

I just wish we'd make a strong pivot from quantity to quality.

 

We have a pretty solid foundation and some young talent as well.

 

We don't need to divide whatever the budget is by 5-6.

 

We need to divide by 2-3 and get talent.

What's not spent of the fans money on salaries goes into the owners' pockets.

Sorry, best I can do is one starter and 3 DH’s! - Chaim

 

DDDHHH... now that makes sense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

LOL.

 

Duvall is a better defender than Duran, Ref and Yoshida- maybe Dugo, too.

 

Turner can back up 1B and 3B, but I get the point.

 

Give me two solid SP'ers and nothing else, and we'll be better than 1 SP and _____.

 

Duvall is not better defensively than Dugo. In fact, Duvall misplayed a fly ball last night that almost hit him in the ass.

I did say "maybe," but I won't argue with anyone who thinks Dugo is better.

 

Dugo has better numbers, this year.

 

Duvall has a GG, but it's hard to compare Duval with Dugo, since they have played different OF positions over much of their careers.

 

Dugo is having a better defensive season. Career? It's pretty close:

 

Here are some numbers 2019>>>:

 

RF DRS & UZR/150

+11 Dugo in 1998 innings 3.3 UZR/150

+6 Duvall in 863 innings (actually a better DRS/inning) 3.1

Looks kinda even.

 

CF

-1 Duvall in 998 innings 2.0

-3 Dugo in 821 innings -2.4

Pretty close

 

LF

+21 Dugo in 1847 innings +6.4

+8 Duvall in 1177 innings +1.5

Dugo better in LF
