I think Dalbec has future value in BOS as a 1B/3B/LF/DH guy. I think they can use the first month or two to develop the defense. Just put Hosmer on the plank at that point.
Sox have a history of going with guys who they value more highly than other teams: Yorke, Romero, Yoshida... I think that's just how this team works right now.
You're telling me that if the Sox don't get a SS, that Story will have to play SS? Yeah, that tracks. Without bringing in a CFer (seems unlikely), Kiké isn't being moved. Seems like it's just going to be Arroyo and a hodgepodge at 2b.
Conforton, Kluber and Gallo have been names we've been talking about long before the winter meetings even started. I'm not sure they're table scraps.
I think the following are the scraps:
Pollock
Miley
Harrison
Lorenzen
Hedges
Cueto
Weaver
Lyles
Myers
Pineda
That guy is out of touch for sure. I think Bloom comes off as more sympathetic than Kennedy. Makes me really question about where some of the decisions are coming from. Kennedy is just JH's mouthpiece IMO.
Red Sox were 6 games above .500 before they sent Arroyo hit the IL and went back to the IF for good. They were a better team with Arroyo in RF than with him in the IF.
