The only way that could work is if we could upgrade another position with a very solid power hitter.

PR hit. Maggs has done a lot for that franchise. I agree with the premise though.
-
Why you keep downplaying the Yankees' willingness to throw money around like it's water spreading from a hose is beyond me. No crystal ball, just common sense.

Too little. Prolly add Bowden and ask for another mid-tier minor leaguer.
-
You read my mind.
-
I'll be honest with you. I've lost all hope for A-Gon. I just think we can get someone better than Uggla if we're gonna eat Lowell's salary.
-
Yes i will, specially if you're going to have to eat Lowell's contract. Also, you're flat out lying when you say Gonzales is more expensive than Uggla. He'll make 4.75 Mill in '10, and 5.5 Mill (just a tad above Uggla's last year number) on '11.
-
Ask Adam Dunn.
-
Nope. I just don't think Uggla is a significant enough upgrade to bench Lowell. Specially if he hasn't played 1B consistently before. Can you at least admit that the fact is that Uggla is not enough of an upgrade to justify dumping Lowell? It's hilarious. You were against signing Mark f***ing Teixeira so as to not dump lowell and now you're giving me this "It's 'cause you want A-Gon" lip.
-
Uggla is a 30-HR, 100+ RBI bat who i would assume would perform even better in a stadium that benefits him more and with a better lineup. However, Uggla is not cheap, and as noted above, it'd be a butcher job to absorb his and Lowell's contract for an upgrade that wouldn't be as significant as say, Adrian Gonzales or Prince Fielder. Also, Dan Ugglas hasn't played 1B consistently before, a much less tolerable position for defensive shortcomings than LF. Specially in Fenway.
-
So you would rather they hamstring the payroll this year by adding Uggla to play 1st, sign Bay or Holliday while absorbing Lowell's contract to be on the bench or dumping him on another team. I'm sorry, but i just don't see the offensive upgrade as enough to commit this type of financial butcher job.
-
The problem is, logic would dictate that the Sox would not have a need for Uggla if they filled their LF vacancy.
-
Doiji. Do you honestly think we go after Uggla if we sign either Holliday or Bay? Honest question.
-
Which one is on the current roster, Holliday or Bay? None. So, at this juncture, Jeremy Hermida is our starting LF, and Lowell would ride the bench because you'd just love to play Uggla at 1b. Fantastic.
-
-
And Hermida plays LF? Hilarious.
-
This is my problem. I don't think Uggla's numbers justify moving Youk to third specially if there's an open spot in LF. Because, by all means, we're operating under the assumption that our current LFer is Jeremy Hermida..
-
-
To be honest , i just think Theo is opening up all sorts of possibilities so he won't be caught with his pants down like he did after the Teixeira situation last year.
-
LF. He couldn't be worse than Bay. Just nothing in the middle infield.
-
Dan Uggla is horrible in every aspect of the word at 2nd. No range, not a very strong arm, and not very good positioning. Try to imagine that awesomeness at SS.
