Is boston making a good move in your opinion
KeepTheFaith1229 replied to god is a redsox FAN's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
This ******* kid I met at Spring Training. A Sox fan, and A-Rod is his "second favorite player." I thought I was going to puke. -
I saw Hansen pitch (I think it was Friday), and he didn't look very good. He was all over the place. Walked the bases loaded, but then got out of the jam with no runs allowed. Showed good poise.
-
I didn't say that! I saw he was getting a lot of work in RF and I was wondering if maybe the Sox were experimenting or something.
-
You know what's weird...when I was at spring training, Loretta seemed to be getting some work in right field, and it got me wondering...maybe Loretta could platoon with Trot and play RF when lefties pitch, and Graffanino would play 2nd? :dunno: I think it might work.
-
I just got back from Ft. Myers. Crisp looks amazing. We got lost going to the game against Minnesota, but I saw him in the other games and the guy is a monster. And I got his autograph. High expectations for him this year.
-
Leiter must have been like plan triple Z.
-
Have you ever heard of OBP? .309 last year. And if you want to go last four years, here's a stat for you, for the last 4 years Soriano has struck out over 120 times and walked less than 40.
-
I didn't say I want him on the team, but there is no denying that he would be a good home run hitter...
-
Indeed. But there is still no denying that it's damn nice getting 35 homers from 2B, although it's nice if he can field.
-
True that is the only upside, but you were talking about homers before and if you're going to go by that then Soriano is a great pickup, but that is really not the case.
-
Would you rather have 4 players add up to 60 homers or one player add up to 35? If you've read Moneyball, Jason Giambi, or Scott Hatteberg, David Justice, and Jeremy Giambi? I'm not saying I want Sori, but you saying that those four players would be better than having 1 35 HR guy is crazy. If the players hit as many HRs as you said: 2B: minus 1 home run SS: +7 HRs 3B: +10 HRs 1B: (Millar and Olerud) -2 A net gain of 14 home runs. Now if we had Soriano come in and hit 36 HR like he did last year, it's +26 while taking up one spot. +26 from one player, or +14 from four? :dunno: edit: for the record, I don't want Soriano, but arguing against him in the HR category is pointless
-
Well, Soriano will hit more than a few more homers than Loretta, but he is a free hacker and his fielding looks like "a nine year old trying to catch a watermelon with a mousepad." (Sportsblah.com).
-
Same here. Welcome sonny
-
I'm thinking about joining, but I'm afraid I'll forget when the draft is and get everyone pissed at me because of all the other leagues I'm in. If some time passes and you don't have enough guys, I'll get in, but not yet.
-
.309 OBP last year dude. Nuff said.
-
What he's doing is training his kid to be tough and play with the big boys.

I still haven't decided if I hate Damon, hate Damon but respect him, or still like Damon. My mom got me this sort of Damon plaque thing for my birthday (she bought it before he signed) and when I opened it I was like...errrr..... Haha also, my buddy Steve, his uncle bought him a bunch of Damon stuff for Christmas because he wanted to make sure to get it from someone who wouldn't leave the team, and Damon signed with New York a week later. -

Also, we have pieced together a few guys from the Marlins' 2003 championship squad. They will all get along, they don't have to share their jockstraps with each other but it's not like we'll have warfare in the clubhouse... -
Even with the monster, how would he hit 40 bombs in Fenway if he can't hit 40 at Ameriquest? :dunno:
-
Thanks
-
Is his kid supposed to be a future major leaguer?
-
I'd trade Wells for Soriano, then spin Soriano off to Minaya for Milledge (if Minaya was dumb enough to do that).
-
I'm not in favor of this, just pointing out (again) that Soriano is a FA after the season...
-
I don't know. It would make sense that this is a possibility if Wells or Clement were part of the deal because I read at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/26/AR2006022601337.html that the Sox are prepared to give the 5th starter job to Jonathan Papelbon, making Wells, Clement, or Arroyo (less likely) expendable. Soriano would probably be a one-year rental as he is a free agent after the season.
