Dojji......again, I did not compare him to anyone defensively. I said he's not a SS. I said he will end up at 3B/LF and eventually to 1B/DH, a positional change similar to what Pujols went through. I did not say he would get fat. I did not compare him to Miguel Cabrera. I did not say he was more athletic than Miguel Cabrera........you said all those things.... And when I think about it, don't say hes more athletic than the guy who just won the first triple crown since 1967, that sounds incredibly stupid considering the kid hasnt even played a game above AA.....even more ridiculous since you previously compared Daniel Nava to Ted Williams. I said he isn't a SS.....and hes not. Have you? Kinda weird, because I have read real scouting reports, by real scouts, who really know what they are talking about......and they all say the same things that I have concluded to just by looking at his defensive metrics/numbers. I'm sorry, I don't project players based on some random talksox members account of watching him have 3 at bats at some random game he went to 2 years ago.

I didnt say anything about him not being "league average" in OPS and OPS+. I said he sucks. Can't hit, no power, no speed, can't run, can't throw and is SIGNIFICANTLY below average in terms of range factor. Nice job cherry picking 2 stats and applying them to the overall player though. I guess Wily Mo Pena was league average as well, because he could do 1 thing well.

Those numbers were free falling on a daily basis after a fluke beginning to the year. He sucks.

Hmmmmm. I guess the article by Buster Olney was right all along.

Why is it overboard? He's not a SS.

Where did I compare him to David Ortiz? I said he was not a SS and will most likely follow the defensive career path of someone like Albert Pujols, who was out of position at 3B and LF (Pujols also had the bad arm).

No, I just don't think he is a SS. I think defensively, he will take the route of a player like Albert Pujols. He will bounce back and forth between 3B and LF, and eventually settle at 1B/DH.

I am just glad Old Yeller didn't have to endure the same pain all of us felt this year. Old Yeller's owner put it out of his misery a little late, but Redsox ownership hated us, they made us suffer what seemed like 10 years of punishment this year.

Figured him out? He figured himself out when he fell back down to earth and started playing like the player he really is. Don't give pitchers that much credit, he was never any good to begin with. Unstoppable and Nava should never be used in the same sentence again. He was also fun and a great little story a couple of years ago. They missed the playoffs that year too. Any time a player like Daniel Nava becomes any sort of headline, you are screwed. You are the Houston Astros when you have to find nice little stories about your s***** players.

They are in no pickle. He is what he is.....a AAA player with AA offensive ability who will end up as the 25th man on the roster because of the money we spent on him. Youkilis also didnt play a game in the minors until he was 22. He had superior offensive/on-base skills and had a silly nickname to go with his skills. Iglesias is beyond awful at the plate. Pitchers hit with more pop than him. Xander will not be a MLB SS.

Its a little bit more than an occasional brushback. There are MAJOR problems here.

Finally, we are relieved by the burden of No-K Matsusucka.

You have to understand that most of us are pissed off that they purchased your soccer team while neglecting our baseball team. I hate soccer, and I hate the ownership for buying the Liverpool soccer team.

For the last time..... Nava is not young. He will be 30 in spring training next year. 30!!!!!! Can we PLEASE stop calling him such adjectives as "young" and "prospect"??? James Loney, FWIW is 28 years old. Nava sucks, and always will.

He would be an awful reliever. He allows too many base runners and can't throw strikes.

Mike Stanley.

Rey Ordonez was a career .600 OPS hitter on the dot. Hes not even close.

Entitled how? Because I think they would be 3-0 if a bad Gronk holding penalty, that Mike Pereira himself said was a bad call.......and 3 huge penalties on third down against BAL went against the Patriots, two of which lead to scores...... Thats entitled?

He should not make the team next year. If he does, we are screwed.

Absolutely not. He is a high school caliber offensive player. Its a joke how bad he is offensively.

Awful. Not completely on the Refs, but we need better. We are 3-0 with real refs.

Papelbon was overpaid remember?

Yankees fans are great. Best fans in professional sports other than maybe the GB Packers. Redsox fans are one of the worst. The "fanbase" on a nightly basis consisted of pinkhats for almost 10 years. Pinkhats have disappeared, and now the park is 25% empty on any given night........and they still sing sweet caroline and chant "yankees suck" despite the fact that this is the worst we have been in almost 40 years. Are they still counting these games as sellouts? The answer has to be no right?

The kid has zero shot of ever being productive. Zero. Ive said the same thing from day one. If they can get him to a Rey Ordonez level, at this point...they will have struck gold. I just dont see it.
