    I still somehow sneaked into the playoffs. Ball don't lie, I guess.

    I'm not sure "neither" is the worst case scenario that some would make it out to be. My preference would be for them to have one of those two guys. Maybe Schwarber as he should be cheaper and could play more positions in the field.
  3. mvp 78
    Have you seen this roster? There's a few guys that can be unloaded without issue.
  4. mvp 78
    It just shows me that by upgrading a few positions (RF, 1B, C) this team would be much better defensively. I think Kiké is good enough in CF. If they are keeping Xander around at SS, they also need to pair him up with a strong 2B, otherwise they need to move him to 2B and get a defensive whiz at SS.

    My sister watched that Babes in Toyland movie so much when we were growing up. "CINCI-WHATSKI?"

    Van Damme good movies: Bloodsport Kickboxer Double Impact Universal Soldier Expendables Street Fighter Timecop Kung Fu Panda 2 Minions: Rise of Gru Reaves: John Wick The Matrix Speed Point Break Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Toy Story 4 The Replacements Spongebob the Movie Parenthood Dangerous Liasons Babes in Toyland It's closer than people think. Reaves gets the nod IMO but only because of Parenthood.

    I think Kiké and Verdugo are the same tier with Renfroe. The current version of Dalbec should be there going forward if he can limit his month long slumps.

    The best thing for the Sox would be the M's and A's to split their remaining games. If one side beats up on the other, the race for the WC will get really close. The Jays just have too many games against the Yankees and Rays left for me to take their WC chances seriously. Sox luck out with O's, Nats and Mets.

    While JD seems like a deer in the headlights defender to me, he apparently prefers to play LF than be a DH.
  10. mvp 78
    If they don't re-sign Schwarber, I could see them going with Verdugo as the everyday LFer. I just don't want to see the weird CF timeshare like we saw this year. Just have Duran as the primary backup to LF/CF.
  11. mvp 78
    C - Leon/Vaz - very solid defense 1B - Mitch - again solid 2B - Nunez/Holt/Kinsler - average at best SS - Xander - little range but is reliable 3B - Devers - good range, but terrible arm RF - Betts - elite defense CF - JBJ - elite defense LF - Beni - above average defense for LF Aside from 2B and 3B, this was a good defensive unit.
  12. mvp 78
    I wouldn't just dump him, but I could see him being used in a package to get a big piece.
  13. mvp 78
    And my preference would be for a bigger bat in LF. I need the 2020 version of Verdugo, not the 2021 one.
  14. mvp 78
    In terms of easiest schedule, the team most likely to catch the Sox would be in order: M's A's Jays Sox seem to have the easiest remaining schedule of those 4 teams. If they miss out, it's because of how far this team has fallen.
  15. mvp 78
    Verdugo has taken a sizable step backwards this year. I'd rather sit him than ever play him in CF. This team should look a little better once Kiké comes back, but we need to end the notion that Verdugo can play CF. Honestly, he's playing more like tradebait this offseason.
  16. mvp 78
    According to defensive metrics like UZR/150 and DRS, Dalbec is the worst fulltime BOS 1B in the past 25 years. Worse than Napoli, Millar and Hanley. Mitch Moreland is considered a good 1B. AGon was a very good 1B. Youk was a very good 1B.
  17. mvp 78
    I don't know what your problem is right now.
  18. mvp 78
    @alexspeier Darwinzon Hernández is starting a rehab assignment with the Triple-A WooSox tonight. His absence as a LH relief option capable of high K rates for the Red Sox has been significant. I'm not voting DHern for closer, but he'll help this pen a little.
  19. mvp 78
    That's a long way to get to "I agree."
  20. mvp 78
    No. Look where the shadows are in CF when he misses the ball. You can't blame the sun on that one. He just tried to make a spectacular play, but failed.
  21. mvp 78
    All my lucks are coming in clutch as hell.
  22. mvp 78
    It's very weird that they sent Lopez back to AAA. He wasn't hitting very well, but his game was fine enough. I'd rather lose with our org guys than bring in stiffs like Motter.
  23. mvp 78
    Not sure he could hear music with all that hair.
  24. mvp 78
    Disagree.
  25. mvp 78
    The sun does not set behind homeplate. If he lost the ball in the sun, he was looking in the wrong direction.
