  1. If a team wants a player like Bogey, why wouldn't they just sign one of the FA SS's?
  2. https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/story/2021-09-10/dodgers-pitcher-trevor-bauers-leave-extended-again You think Bauer will get released?
  3. I would assume that 2 out of Dalbec, Schwarber and JD would play every day.
  4. @PeteAbe A few #RedSox notes: * 19 of Dalbec's last 27 hits have been for extra bases. His OPS was .651 on July 30. It's .786 now. * Sox have allowed 18 unearned runs in the last 8 games. * Sox are 9-9 since their Covid outbreak. * Shaw has a .960OPS in 19 games with the Sox.
  5. My targets? I actually like Xander's defense more than most other posters.
  6. Doing something to improve defense means practice. We're talking about practice.
  7. Who said "replaced?" If Devers and Dalbec had worked harder on their defense last offseason and during this season, the team would be better off.
  8. Reminder: today's game starts at 4:10 EST.
  9. Ted: 156 WRC+, 1045 OPS, 131 Runs, 145 RBI, 185 Hits Dalbec: 115 WRC+, 817 OPS, 58 Runs, 72 RBI, 111 Hits, 3x lower bb rate and 5x higher k rate Having 1 extra HR while being 5 years older doesn't really get me that excited...
  10. I never said "replace these guys with defensive minded players," I just said if this defense was better they'd have more wins.
  11. So if Devers fixed his throwing issues, he'd start to eat s*** at the plate? That's a dumb argument.
  12. Not sure how stating an obvious fact of "if the Sox had better defense, they'd have more wins" becomes wrong? They'd have a few extra wins this month if the defense wasn't a joke.
  13. If we are weighing with scales, it's much closer to most contenders than "one 17 years ago."
  14. If the Sox had better defense, the team wouldn't be tied with NY and TOR, they'd be firmly in the pole position for the first WC spot at least.
  15. Disagree. Berry: https://cdn.fangraphs.com/players/quintin-berry/9414/game-log?position=OF&gds=&gde=&type=0&season=2013 Roberts: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=roberda07&t=b&year=2004 Both were used quite often as defensive replacements. Kotsay might actually be the least applicable since he mainly became a starter once he came to BOS.
  16. Supplementing the bench is pretty typical for contending teams. Some posters just like to gaslight though.
  17. @SoxNotes Last 5 games for the Red Sox’ bullpen: 4.1 IP, 0 ER 7.0 IP, 1 ER 3.1 IP, 1 ER 2.0 IP, 0 ER 4.0 IP, 0 ER Totals: 0.87 ERA, 20.2 IP, 2 ER Wow, seems ok.
  18. With all of Renfroe's errors, he's not worth the arm. Overrated.
  19. https://www.mlb.com/news/enrique-hernandez-red-sox-contract Hernández, who won a World Series with the Dodgers in 2020, will help fill the void the Red Sox have at second base. The Red Sox told Hernández that he will get the bulk of his reps at second base, but he could also see time in center field -- where Boston appears likely to lose Jackie Bradley Jr. in free agency -- and in the corner outfield spots while also spelling Xander Bogaerts here and there at shortstop. This was reported extensively at the time.
  20. "Oh, so you just pulled Quintin Berry off the top of your head?!?" Unfortunately for Mr Berry, he's at the top of my "remember a guy" pile. I don't know why he stands out as he wasn't a huge contributor.
  21. It was the only team I looked at. Have you never heard of a team having a defensive replacement for a stretch run or adding a guy that can steal bases? The Sox have done it a bunch. Off the top of my head: Dave Roberts Bobby Kielty Mark Kotsay Quintin Berry 2018 team didn't need OF replacements (Mookie, JBJ, Beni) so they went ahead an loaded up on IF guys like Pearce, Brandon Phillips and Ian Kinsler.
  22. Blue Jays - Jarrod Dyson
  23. Was supposed to be Marwin.
  24. https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/time-red-sox-consider-xander-bogaerts-future-shortstop
