    Yes.
  2. mvp 78
    But HRam is probably like the 7th or 8th best hitter on the club.
  3. mvp 78
    I just think a bench of Swihart, Marrero, Nunez, Moreland is stronger. Marrero is the only decent option as a defensive replacement in the IF.
  4. mvp 78
    No.
  5. mvp 78
    C’mon, if anyone will be this year’s award winner, it’ll be Barfield.
  6. mvp 78
    He can be everyday LF in NL parks.
  7. mvp 78
    He can pack his 1b mitt for next ST after Hanley's option doesn't vest and he's not sitting on the Sox bench.
  8. mvp 78
    Jacoby Ellsbury
  9. mvp 78
    3.88 career FIP in the postseason. 4.02 career FP in the regular season. SSS
  10. mvp 78
    It's more likely than Hanley returning to form IMO.
  11. mvp 78
    Pedro Ciriaco on line 1.
  12. mvp 78
    Who is porkchop?
  13. mvp 78
    I'd rather have JBJ than Arrieta.
  14. mvp 78
    Beni doesn't play RF tho? And I wouldn't put Betts or JBJ in LF.
  15. mvp 78
    Are you expecting Mookie and JBJ to sit out 30 games each?
  16. mvp 78
    Plus, steamer projects a 4+ ERA. He was never a good pitcher until he made his way to the NL Central. His velo was way down last year and he became very hittable. He's a good arm, but not worth the penalties. He'll be 32 on Opening Day and is trending in the wrong direction.
  17. mvp 78
    If Betts, Xander, JBJ and others hit like it's 2016, the batting order won't matter all that much. Playing well is obviously the most important thing. I think Betts and Beni are a good 1-2 punch at the top of the lineup due to their speed and OBP skills. JD should slide in easily at cleanup. I wouldn't want Devers to hit 3rd because that would be two lefties in a row. I don't trust Hanley to be productive enough to stay at the top of the lineup. I think Xander has the potential to hit towards the top of the lineup, but he has to prove it first. I wouldn't say no if Nunez was 6th and Xander 3rd (Xander has a higher career OBP and Nunez was probably just on a really good hot streak for the Sox last year). Once Pedey comes back, he's probably better suited for the 3rd spot due to his high OBP anyway (not that I want Pedey running into outs before JD and Devers).
  18. mvp 78
    If they didn't sign Nunez, they could probably fit Swihart on the bench. Once Pedey comes back, Leon probably needs to go if they want to keep Swihart. There is just only so many bodies you can have on a roster.
  19. mvp 78
    Huuuuuuge liability. He's a backup. I hope he never plays RF in Fenway. Remember Wily Mo Pena? Pena was better in RF for the Sox than JD was last year.
  20. mvp 78
    As I said in another post: I don't want to go too in depth about my reasoning, because Bellhorn will just get mad at me again. I agree that 4 and 5 are probably more important than the 3rd hitter. I'd put my best hitter 1st (Betts) and the next 2 at cleanup and 5th. I think the 2nd and 3rd spots should be high OBP guys (top 3 last year were Pedey/Nunez/Beni). With Pedey out, Nunez should hit 3rd. I don't care too much how 6-9 is slotted.
  21. mvp 78
    I hope he rakes so hard in 18 and 19 that he believes it's a good decision to opt out.

    Other athletes who had Lisfranc injuries: Le'veon Bell 2013 Julio Jones 2014 http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0363546516645082 Analysis of pre- and postinjury athletic performance revealed no statistically significant changes after return to sport after Lisfranc injury... Evaluation of the durability of injured players after the season of injury revealed no statistically significant difference in career length compared with controls.
  23. mvp 78
    It's the injury that he was reportedly out with last year. The Sox knew this when making their offer.
  24. mvp 78
    I would say probably not since the greater disparity of the first item is probably a little more important.
  25. mvp 78
    @EvanDrellich Scott Boras on J.D. Martinez: "Obviously the X-Rays and things showed he had this condition called the Lisfranc condition. It’s healed, back to noromal, the question is what if that has any impact in the long term? And kind of agreed that it’s not much of an issue … 1/2 Scott Boras: "… From our standpoint we have opt outs in the second year, the third year, the fourth year, and we can, we have flexibility. And they have some protection at the back end, that’s all. In case there’s a disabling injury.” 2/2
