Pretty big Sports moment seeing Lebron break the all time scoring record tonight. With the level Lebron is playing at, I'm not sure this record will ever be broken.
Passan: Trade news: The Boston Red Sox are acquiring shortstop Adalberto Mondesi from the Kansas City Royals, sources tell ESPN. Deal is done. Players are being informed.
Sure, but Barnes pretty consistently has blown games, whether it be 7th, 8th, 9th or whatever, it still takes a lot of failure to lead league in blown saves.
Ramiel Tapia just posted on instagram he signed with the Red Sox... Yay I guess.
Also, worth noting: Tapia is the guy who hit the pop up in center that Duran couldn't find and allowed and inside the park homer.. Now Tapia is essentially ensuring Duran wont make teams opening day roster.
Sure, but I don’t think anyone at the time thought Bautista would be anything more than a mediocre MLB player and certainly not the star he became. I don’t think Duran will be anywhere near that level or that he’ll even be good player. I was just pointing out that some guys are late bloomers
Do I think Duran has earned the starting CF spot? Absolutely not. Do I think he should be release? Also absolutely not.
I’m willing to keep him around at least for this season, which doesn’t look promising and seeing if he can finally put some of his tools to use. If he struggles again? Then yeah he sucks, just move on.
Jose Bautista was hitting .237 with horrendous defense at age 28 and then signed with his 5th team, the Toronto Blue Jays. Some guys are late bloomers.
Duran shouldn’t be handed anything, but if he figures it out, he has all the potential in the world.
Yeah his defense is shockingly bad. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an outfielder with that speed be that awful at fielding. His comments/attitude after his bad defense definitely didn’t help his case either.
I still have hopes for Duran, even if they’re not as high as they once were
I’d give him more of a shot than Ort, who really hasn’t shown anything.
I’m also not really sure how Duran was mentioned at all. I know he was bad last season but he at least has to carry a little trade value, unlike the others who are DFA candidates.
