    Even if you disagree with some of the names I name, the point stands that Ramiro Pena is an eminently replaceable guy. His extreme upside is Maicer Izturis or Marco Scutaro, two pretty replaceable guys in their own right.

    That's something to think about. THanks.

    From all I've heard, he's there right now defensively and has power to spare. The question is his lack of plate discipline. Realistically, I don't think he comes up next year except maybe in September, since rushing a plate discipline problem is a recipe for disaster, but he might be a factor in deciding we don't want to commit a lot of years to anyone.

    Does Josh Reddick putting up excellent numbers in AA affect the discussion at all, or no? Drew's going to need to move to LF soon to cut down on wear and tear so we might actually wind up looking for an RF and not a LF in the offseason if we lose on Bay Drew in left, Ellsbury in center and Reddick in right would be one heck of a defensive outifeld.

    PRobably not, no.

    Happily pay AAV $15-18M for Bay

    That little for a 129OPS+ hitter?

    I was in college prior, I have about $13K in debt hanging on my @$$ that I try not to think about, and I can't leave, can't find work, and can't finish my degree. If i seem a little... scatterbrained and high strung sometimes, I've got reasons. Course, it'd help if someone somewhere in this goddamned valley would actually interview me. It can't all be who you know.

    You must have had fun back in 04 when we had Leskanic and Mientkiewicz.

    Drew is hitting leadoff, genius.

    This may be a short thread, since it's a yes or no question and if the answer's yes like I think it is, that's pretty much the end of the discussion, but here goes anyway. Do we retain arbitration control of Okajima as if he was a player with 3 years service time after the current contract, which IIRC is in its last season, expires? In other words, if we don't extend Oki can we force him to go to arbitration? Two reasons to ask that question, obviously one of them is I'd like to keep the guy, but failing that, if we let him go while we still have arb control over him I don't think we can get free agent compensation, can we?

    Agreed, almost positive Bay wouldn't be happy taking a LOWER AAV than Jose Guillen.. Try 5/75, which is actually a reasonable price and carries through to Bay's age 36 season, not unreasonable risk in years.

    Posted this at HFBoards in a thread asking us to describe players in Haiku (David Krejci) Many in the league score their goals with speed and strength I score with patience (tim Thomas) For eleven years he Played with Finns and AHL Now he owns some bling (Zdeno Chara) Has a mighty reach Hits and fights and scores as well Get out of his way (Milan Lucic) Beats up on the Habs Hits them like a wrecking ball Run Komisarek! (Patrice Bergeron) Didn't do so well but you know what they all say It's all in his head (Phil Kessel) Scores with speed and skill Deadly on the breakaway Stop the **** toe-drag!!! (Blake Wheeler) Scored a 1 on 5 Awesome for the future but faded down the stretch (PJ axelsson) Good defensive wing We don't have a checking line it's time to move on (Dennis Wideman) Decent defensemen when he shoots or passes he lives up to his name

    Kinda.

    Course, there are exceptions. Yankee Elimination day was pretty danged fun last year.

    By all means, keep dragging that old dead hyperbole up. I don't lose much by expressing faith and confidence in one of our best position player prospects, and you look like an idiot for trying to call me on it. For the record, though, I came here to talk about Josh Reddick. It's a little easy to miss, but he's had a very fundamental improvement at the plate this year. While he's only hitting .270 or so he's pretty much doubled his walks output and has an Isolated Discipline of about .070 this year, which starts to be acceptable. Combine that with the fact that he's hitting for excellent power in AA at age 21 and the Red Sox have pretty obviously got something with this guy. With all his physical tools if he continues to take coaching as well as he seems to be doing this year he's going to be incredible when (not if) he comes up to replace J. D. Drew after the 2011 season.

    Yeah, duh on me there. I'd go back and edit that, but what the heck.
  24. Dojji
    You have to ask? if the Sox lose, a Yankee win is barely a consolation prize.
  25. Dojji
    Looks good. If I had to rate the next five, I'd go Tazawa, Federowicz, Reddick, Hagadone, Rizzo Actually think Reddick probably belongs in the top 10 although not sure who I'd take out. He is a great power hitter with an excellent arm who can play CF and RF but will settle into RF in the minors. He's been walking more this year (he could hardly walk less) and is hitting at a very good OPS this year in Portland despite NOT having the sterling batting average that inflated his numbers in Lancaster (Reddick is hitting a serviceable .271/.341/.542 with 22 walks). Would not be shocked if Reddick turned up in Pawtucket by August and is very likely to be fully ready when Drew's contract expires.
