Or some team outbidding us for him, yeah, that type of bad luck.
-
Or perhaps he was moved to the pen because that's where his opportunity to play in the majors before he runs out of options is.
-
If he continues to progress this kid has a 5 tool potential that's darn close to a 5-tool reality. His ceiling is at least Nick Markakis with 20 SB ability and quite possible more. The big question is whether he'll hit 20 homers in the big leagues, and frankly he's demonstrated enough power in the minors that it'd be unwise to bet against him. He's as athletic as anyone I've seen, nearly as fast as Ellsbury, and the power is just the cherry on top. This kid is looking like the real thing, and I'm excited.
-
Doesn't mean he can't move back.
-
We do still have Bowden and Tazawa for possible injury replacement duties.
-
And as a RH power hitter in Fenway, I really expect Napoli's power to jump. There's no denying his ability to put a charge into a baseball when he can catch up with one, and the wall should help his batting average and consistency with doubles that would be fly balls in Anaheim -- Angels stadium isn't as much of a cavern as Seattle, but any RHH power hitter from an NL West ought to look a little better in Fenway.
-
Doubront has more value to Anaheim -- assuming they see him as a starter of course. The lefty thing aside, he's closer to MLB ready. We can go into next year with Richardson and a FA like Downs as our lefties, we don't technically need Doubront.

Consider that Eric Gagne was a Type A free agent when Texas signed him in 2006. Unless they tweaked the formula it seems to be based on what you do, not how often you do it.
-
I don't think that enters into it. I'd be saving them what, $11M a year and offering them a prospect? If anything, a cash strapped team jumps at that all the harder. That and they're under new ownership so the brokishness of the old one isn't as much of a factor.
-
The interesting thing about Delgado is that if he comes up, hits and makes an impact, he'd stand a chance of being at least a Type B FA if some other team decided to invest in a DH.
-
It's definitely worth thinking about. Napoli may not be a guy who can start as a catcher for health reasons, but he can definitely play enough at Catcher to keep another Catcher fresh, and both Napoli and V-Mart can play a competent first base. Mix in some time at DH for both of them and you might not need to take either bat out of the lineup that often.

http://www.nesn.com/2010/08/report-red-sox-interested-in-carlos-delgado.html Sox checking out Carlos Delgado. No reason why not, although it might mean Ortiz plays first as he's actually better at it than Delgado.
-
I'd swap Lars and a pitcher for Napoli and not think twice about it, but I think that "1B" thing is likely just for now, since Kendry Morales won't be gone forever. In the offseason they're more likely to want pitching.
-
Call me nuts, but I'd rather see what the Angels are asking for Mike Napoli. He's not as sexy as Gonzo, but he is a decent little slugger who can play 1B and part-tiime it at catcher. He could help us in a couple different roles. With the Angels committed to Mathis behind the plate and Morales coming back next year Napoli could be out in the cold. When you're talking about an RHH with his kind of power potential it's definitely worth asking about.
-
I'd move a prospect and ask the Rangers to eat about $5M/year, and if they did, I'd take on the rest.
-
Heh. You want to turn this place on its head? Pedroia+ for Gonzalez. Peddy's signed through 2015 on a team-friendly deal. There's your control. And who would care to deny that he would be a tempting package for Gonzo almost by himself? And with replacements on hand, it's a move we can technically afford to make. So put it on the table, Gonzo fans. Exactly how far are you prepared to go to get Gonzalez?
-
Why would other teams make it easy for us to get Gonzalez unless we overpay them to do so?
-
Young's track record in non-contract years is better. And we get 2 picks.
-
Not a lot of teams are really anxious to trade prospects for other prospects. Also no one has any particular reason to help us get Gonzalez -- we wind up overpaying that way.
-
When you say "nothing more" the implication is that you've defined a guy's ceiling, not just his role. I think that's why you got the reaction you did. Sure, Lowrie isn't going to be our starting 3B but if we need a guy who can play for a couple weeks in a row at 2B or SS no one would have a problem with that guy being Lowrie. He might actually be a better defensive SS than Scutaro and he can handle himself at second as well. If we're in any danger of Lowrie playing third base regularly for us, I think the Sox will take delivery of Michael Young instead on a salary dump. Lowrie just doesn't have the arm to play third. I consider him a pure 2B-SS
-
Don't do much with Fangraphs, but I have a fair read on Beltre's character and it surprises me not at all. With premium 3B so darn hard to find he'll get it too.
-
No kidding. Just take the picks on Beltre. He's useful, but he's trouble on a longterm deal, and not just for opposing pitchers.
-
I[d be happy to move Iglesias and Reddick in a Gonzalez deal if we can find enough other Kalish-free talent to make the move. Che-Hsuan Lin might be a surprisingly tempting second-tier offer for the Padres as well. With their huge offense, a CF who can move like Lin couldn't help but be useful. He'd be more of a makeweight than a real value piece though.
