    Calling Leon a virtual clone of Vasquez may have been the silliest thing that you have posted here.
  3. a700hitter
    I agree.

    Welcome to TalkSox. Would you like to participate in TalkSox Fantasy Baseball?

    Are you going to be at the "Trade Pedroia" all season long?
  6. a700hitter
    Okay. What was the inning minimum?
  7. a700hitter
    it sure sounds like you are downplaying the loss of Vasquez if we were able to replace him by picking through the junk piles of other teams. If Leon is a Vasquez clone, the Red Sox should save themselves the cost of the operation and subsequent rehab. Why bother-- just put the money toward developing pitching.
  8. a700hitter
    I already had been convinced.

    What is silly is writing a string of posts like this addressing an issue that I had conceded before you signed on --- the ease of replacing Vasquez's defense. He is nothing special. Teams are discarding guys with his kind of glove left and right.

    When is the last time that we had a backup catcher catch 70-80 games in a season, which Leon will have to do if Hanigan tops out at 90 games as has been his history? 80 games is 2 seasons for a backup catcher.

    Depends, plumber?
  12. a700hitter
    There really was nothing special about Vasquez defensive abilities that can't be replaced by some minor league throw away from another organization. What was I thinking?

    I'll send a link to your pm inbox.

    Varitek numbers last year. With that low of a percentage and the history of our pitchers not working on holding runners, they will run more.
  15. a700hitter
    They ran on him significantly more in 2015 than in pat seasons and he threw out a much lower percentage. The percentage was like those put up by Varitek at the end of his career. The stable games played number proves nothing other than he is at best a part time catcher, even in his prime. We will have to get around 80 games from the other guy that we picked up for cab fare.
  16. a700hitter
    I will do so immediately. Thanks.

    His stats from last season. He was way down in percentage of runners caught stealing. He dropped fro 45% to 21%. He's also catching a lot less games the last couple of seasons suggesting that he is aging quickly as most catchers do. That's enough for me. What do you have to counter?
  18. a700hitter
    Based on what do you think they will be good at it? One guy is a bush leaguer that we know little about and he knows less about our staff. The other guy is 34 and declining. What are you hanging you hat on?
  19. a700hitter
    Betts projects above average in the OF? He is an OF convert with a weak arm. How much data is there on Castillo to make a projection on him? The only OF who is unquestionably an above average fielder. Napoili is above average, but he is not Mark Texeira or Keith Hernandez. No one is ging to mistake Panda for Brooks Robinson. There are just not enough high quality gloves to overcome the mediocre pitching and so-so and inexperienced catching.
  20. a700hitter
    Technically, Hannigan is not a journeyman. He is just past his prime, and he was never that good even in his prime.
  21. a700hitter
    Mediocre staff and a journeymen and bush leaguer at catcher does not bode well for run prevention.
  22. a700hitter
    Only 4 teams. We need 6 more. Come on people. It's fun, and in expensive. $20 for 6 months of fun.
  23. a700hitter
    What a burn!!!
  24. a700hitter
    All of the internet authorities are afraid of putting their money where there keyboard is.
