  1. The swoon came after a rib strain/injury. He never recovered. Unsure if it bothered him all year, but makes more sense than "he lost weight and forgot how to hit AAA pitching."
  2. William is younger though. Maybe they should have instead named him Willliam?
  3. Ridiculous trade. Glad the Sox didn't do it.
  4. He never broke out of it after being sent down.
  5. C, 1B, LF & RF seem a little light to me.
  6. IDK, because these guys are so versatile they should go with: Hamilton to 2b. Mayer to SS. Duran/Abreu/Anthony OF. Masa DH. Eaton to 3B. Anyone to platoon C? Stuck with Contreras at 1B I guess. Probably have to sit Rafaela against RHP all year. He's even worse against LHP so may have to sit him against those too.
  7. Some people struggle at reading comprehension. Must be a boomer thing!
  8. Sure, but this has nothing to do with players having to play 3 different positions and fielding your team with 13 platoon players.
  9. It's ok to say Campbell was just rushed to MLB and wasn't quite ready.
  10. There is such a thing as being confidently wrong. That's you.
  11. That's my worry with him. One day, it'll just stop being the same. I think with Paredes, you know what you got if you throw him at 3b. With Suarez, it could get worse.
  12. You don't want to have to deal with platoon splits. You want guys that can hit RHP/LHP equally and can go 162. If you have a bench bat, fine. The preference is towards starters that can hit RHP and LHP. Breslow has said as much.
  13. I'd hold my nose at a Suarez signing and hope it's for only 2 years. I think he'd be my plan D, but it's fine. I think it's better than running out a Romy/DHam platoon at 2b.
  14. I think Breslow had been working on trades for a while. Henry got to the point where he was like "I'll eat salary, just get it done."
  15. If it changes yearly, how do you know what teams will do this year?
  16. Not everything you don't like is a boomer idea. Especially since you're like 40 anyway.
  17. Yeah, the idea that MLB is now rolling guys through the DH spot just isn't reality. Most teams aren't doing that.
  18. That's not until after the team has already reported to camp I believe. At that point, the roster should have already been manufactured.
  19. If Breslow were able to, he'd field a starting lineup of 162 guys that didn't move off position. It's just CHEAPER to find platoon bats that can play mediocre defense at multiple positions.
