@redsoxstats Cora says Martinez will bat 3rd or 4th. Hopefully not 3rd, where he'd bat a lot with 0 on and 2 outs. You bat him 4th where he will hit in the first with a runner, or leading off the 2nd with 0 outs where it's easier to start a rally. @alexspeier Red Sox' No. 3 hitter batted with bases empty, two outs 161 times last year. That split by Sox batting order position in 2017: 1 - 86 2 - 74 3 - 161 4 - 81 5 - 77 6 - 107 7 - 87 8 - 93 9 - 87 PAs w/RISP: 1 - 163 2 - 184 3 - 200 4 - 218 5 - 196 6 - 168 7 - 176 8 - 164 9 - 165

BUT HOW WILL THE FANS AT FENWAY REACT AFTER IT TOOK 7 EXTRA DAYS FOR HIM TO SIGN THE CONTRACT?!?!?!?!? Will he be booed?
-
Tiger Beat magazine centerfold.

I'd keep Swihart and dump Leon if Swihart looks good in ST.
-
Get the f*** out of here with this s***.
-
I don't want to mention my sources, but I've heard rumors that both Jacko and A700's post totals are greatly inflated due to *cough cough* deer antler spray, ADHD medication and *checks notes* Ortiz's eye drops.

He had LASIK in 2016 and says he can see the ball much better now. The years he spent dabbling as a pitcher clearly affected his development. He's not a sure thing, but I think one injury could turn him into a bench bat.

Sign Danny Ainge and make him the GM. -
New England weather sucks. It’s the main reason my wife wants to move every winter.
-
But I'm sure that Swihart would much rather live in the Pacific Northwest rather than stinky old expensive New England!
-
If Vazquez is fully healthy, I think it'd be safe to DFA Leon. I'd take Swihart's upside forever and ever.
-
816 OPS pre injury, 661 after.
-
He was noticeably injured last season. How would having an injured hand not affect his consistency?
-
I would have signed on for any of those 3 options.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/02/al-east-notes-hernandez-swihart-dickerson-orioles.html Marco Hernandez had a set back and will miss all of ST. Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston argues that while the Red Sox could benefit from a year of carrying the out-of-options Blake Swihart as a utility player, they may not ever get a higher return for him in a trade than they would this spring. Other clubs still view Swihart as a viable catching option, he notes, whereas a year of scarce opportunities behind the plate thanks to the presence of Christian Vazquez and Sandy Leon could change that. The Sox seem to have three players for two bench spots — Brock Holt, Deven Marrero and Swihart, with the latter each being out of minor league options. On the flip side of the coin, one could also argue that a full year of production at the big league level, even in a part-time role. It also seems feasible that Sandy Leon could see his role diminish if his 2017 struggles at the plate carry over into the 2018 season.

Not a $13M, definitely not.
-
He's going to rake this year.
-
Especially after he didn't make it past April. I think he had some decent value in the pen at the end of 2016. I wouldn't want him on my roster though.
-
I bet it was Jeter.
-
In 2014 and 2015 he was better in the 2nd half than the first.
-
I think he was saying that it would only cost $12M to keep him, not to let him go.
-
All you guys sleep on Xander. X gonna give it to ya this year.
-
But what if the Sox could use the cryogenically frozen head of Teddy Ballgame attached to a robot body in the 9th inning? That’s sounds reasonable to me.
-
@ScottLauber By my count, Rafael Devers is younger than 10 players on Northeastern's roster.
-
Ortiz struggled for 2 weeks in April and then mashed in May. What a weirdo.
