Felipe Lopez is a 2B. Agreed on Tejada.
-
I think the only reason we haven't already signed Green is he wants to see if some weak team with a hole at SS might get desperate. Amazingly enough he's one of the best remaining free agent SS right now, and there may be a team out there who's desperate enough to let him start.
-
Agreed. Maybe a AAAA relief type would be in order.
-
How about Fernando Tatis for that OF/IF?
-
But if we really need to back up at 1B, we won't be in too many situations where we can't slide V-Mart over to 1B and bring Tek out to catch. And in an emergency Ortiz is not a disaster as a first baseman. You'd never mistake him for a gold glover but he knows what he's doing out there at least. I'd rather have a multi position guy than Kotchman.
-
That would be completetly idiotic. If you can't get a big leaguer who's any better than Castillo, then go after a AAAA type reliever or something.
-
I hope so. I guess we have to take in faith that he'll be back to 2008 form or so anyway.
-
Just a guess: VMart and Ortiz.
-
You mean, virtually nothing? 3 of Lowell's 4 seasons here were pretty much exactly consistent with his career averages, leaviing 2007 as a likely BABIP-inflated career year fluke. Maybe the Monster gave him a few more doubles. His career high in two-baggers came in 2006. It certainly didn't give him more homers though, 4 different Florida seasons featured Mike Lowell homering more than he ever did in one season here. The Monster is not RHH steroids. It increases average and adds doubles neither to any great degree. There is certainly ZERO evidence that it adds to an RHH's HR totals. Your own example suggests that the virtue of the Monster lies in other areas.

I don't like this much. I really hope I'm wrong, but Beltre is exactly the wrong kind of RHH to bring to Boston. I can't picture him thriving here.
-
Woo! Sorry. Just don't want the guy.
-
-
Other than Lowrie you mean.
-
Yes. they will Not so sure about this, they did just clear Peavy's salary Would not be surprised, but it's not a lock.
-
beeeeecauuuuuuse it wouldn't be Adrian Gonzalez I guess.
-
Kinda funny, Dipre, I thought you'd rip me apart if I brought up Delgado. I guess it goes to show you never quite know how someone else thinks,.
-
A-Rod did fine this year, coming off hip surgery. The hip surgery wasn't Lowell's problem, it was the complications.
-
that doesn't bother me. I don't want them paying Kotchman anything at all. And I hate the argument that salary should determine role. Talent, and only talent, should determine role. If a player is paid $30M but has declined to the point of incompetence, that player should be benched for his $1.5M replacement. If 2009 Vernon Wells and 2009 Denard Span are on the same roster and only CF is open, Span needs to be starting. Doing it any other way is the textbook definition of failthought and is done only in the hopes the players might rebound -- often only to salve the pride of the owner or GM.
-
I said Kotchman as LIDR, not as platoon mate. Think Doug Mientkiewicz.
-
any interest in a one year flier on Carlos Delgado? He'd be better as a replacement DH, but he'd be an interesting guy to couple with Kotchman (LIDR) as a last ditch upgrade.
-
How about Nomar for 1B? (I know, I know, but someone had to bring it up and we need a utility man anyway)
-
Thing with Laroche is that he's 30. He's in his prime, and he's probably going to want a multiyear deal for power hitter money. I think he might be able to get it too. The question is, could he get it from Theo? But he's definitely an interesting fallback plan, and I'd recommend at least courting him at this point, seeing what he thought of his time in Boston last year and whether he'd be willing to come back on his own terms.
-
Adam LaRoche is still out there. That kinda surprises me. He's not exactly a superstar, but he's serviceable on both sides of the ball. Why hasn't someone signed this guy? I would have thought the Mets or Mariners would be all over him.
-
This is why I'm worried about Kotchman. you CAN form an argument for why he could start, but the fact is that for a team like Boston, he shouldn't start unless the cupboard is bare -- which it isn't.
