I think DD may do that too (or at least sign some starter). Too many questions concerning the health of Price and ERod. No clue on what Wright can provide. Porcello may just be a 4th starter. What if Pom's 2017 was a fluke? Etc.
Final say and personal attacks can suck a dick, imo.
I know a lot of people don't like my posting, but I don't try to go out and be s*****. ******** like you're sitting at the bar talking about the Sox, but don't be an *******.
Based on their career trajectories. Both were late bloomers. I think JD will still be a great offensive force for 4-5 years. It just depends on if you want to eat the last few years of his deal as he declines.
Also, isn't every trade or FA signing based on hope? Hope that the player wont break down. Hope that they'll fit in the Boston market.
It's closer when you only count seasons 2014 on (which are probably more important). However, Giancarlo IS definitely a much better bet than JD. My only worry is that you would have to give up something of value to get him. If it's a few be level prospects, it's a good option.

Rest In Peace Daniel Flores...most talented catcher I have ever seen and such a joy to be around.
Lots of love from his Sox teammates that he played with in instructs. Everyone is heartbroken and he was a great human being. Very sad.
Here's his slugging since 2014: 553/535/535/690. Seems pretty consistent until last year when his hard contact % increased to 49%.
RBI is a garbage stat that is only reflective on how good of an offense you have in front of you.
