I'd take a flier on Bedard, actually. He should be either dominant or on the DL, one or the other, and he's proven in the past that he can handle the AL East. As a #3-4 starter he'd do very nicely indeed.
-
BS. If they "dropped the ball" anywhere it's picking up some form of impact bat As for FA starters Lackey's about it. Erik Bedard maybe.
-
Or Adrian Gonzalez. Theo is going to have to make some tough decisions to improve the team. There is no real natural fit.
-
-
There is no way whatsoever that the Boston Red Sox pick up Gonzalez' option. For one thing there's a chance he might be a T ype B. If not, they can probably resign Gonzalez far cheaper than that on the free market. they've made their intentions pretty clear IMHO. Plug in scrubs and trash this year, clear the roster and go for a good SS in the offseason.
-
Then he can't, but at least even if he can't he doesn't set the team back. If Guzman bombs, we're on the hook for $17M worth of suck at shortstop and are impeded in our quest to obtain Hanley Ramirez in the offseason.

In other words, a 23 year old A ball utility man with big problems making contact. what's below the level of a dojji type anyway?
-
Not really happy about this. Gonzo isn't the player he was in 2006 and not everyone liked him even in 2006. It's not even like he ever hit much either. There's literally no upside here.
-
Rumors are starting to fly that we actually have acquired Alex Gonzalez.

Adrian beltre hits DL with injured Testicle (No Joke)
Dojji replied to Javier Lopez's topic in Other Baseball
can we please get rid of this guy? You look at a lot of the fights and crap that goes down around here he's usually in the middle of it and I'm sick of this. -
So, question: Daisuke doesn't return before September 1 but he is lights out when he does get back. Is he postseason eligible or not?
-
I'm not sure if we got Hall he'd be the starting SS. I think he might wind up replacing Woodward, who also has limited SS experience. I think an upgrade of Hall over Woodward is significant and doesn't get in the way of an attempt to replace Nick Green with yet another SS.
-
I'm not convinced Daisuke is back before rosters expand.
-
The guy I think we could have gone harder after was not necessarily Teixeira, but Swisher. He's the guy who losing out on him hurt the most. Swisher was the medicine to most of our in-season lineup problems IMHO. I still don't understand why we let him go to the Yankees so easily.
-
If he's 21 he's a legit prospect, if he's 26 he's a minor league filler who's got an outside shot at big league time in 3 years because he's lefthanded but probably not with the Sox.
-
He's still at it too, just ask Edinson Vonquez. Why DO they keep giving Dusty Baker young pitchers to destroy? I mean where did his reputation as a good manager come from? Has he even won anything?
-
Alex Gonzalez did a fine job when he was here, but that was a career year. I have no desire to see him back. He is not an upgrade on Green. Bill Hall would be an interesting gamble. He hit well once and might again. The downside of Hall is a fairly useful big league super utility man. Give or take Green, Hall's at least an upgrade over Woodward, so that's a guy I'd go for even if I didn't stop at him.
-
But he's usually known as a pretty decent fielder. even if he does walk like he's in his 40's now.
-
-
Indeed. Most of our real troubles this year have come from players who were here in 2008 -- Daisuke, Lowrie, Lugo, Ortiz, and to a lesser extent Lowell and Bay. The exception was probably our biggest gamble -- John Smoltz.
-
As I've been saying for nearly a year now, the offseason FA acquisitions aren't how we build the team anymore. Of course our offseasons will pale in comparison with those who DO build that way.
-
Another thing to look at, although this can be subtle, is whether the catcher has to move his glove to catch the pitch. If he doesn't, then the pitcher is hitting his spots. No pitcher will do that 100% of the time but if a pitcher is hitting where the catcher is framing more of ten than not he's doing a good job.
-
Not if he's 26 he won't.
-
A better chance? Sure, but don't oversell it or make it sound like Youk not being in the lineup cost us the game. He made the result we got more likely, is the absolute most you can say.
