    Considering DD's track record, I'm not sure I buy that.

    Still no updates from the team about a throwing regimen. The silence is deafening.

    Some guys have to step up is what it comes down to. Some GM's just need to step up and make a good trade once in a while and not go for damaged goods is what it comes down to.

    Bigfoot NOT unicorns.

    No, just no.

    You expect me to listen to one guy with a soul patch and another with psychiatric problems?
  7. mvp 78
    Yup. If Hernandez isn't going to be getting a lot of playing time, I'd rather keep him warm down in Pawtucket.

    . There's a scenario where he could make the roster as a fifth outfielder/third catcher, and a scenario where he shows up to camp and forces his way into a more prominent catching role. But it's hard to envision these scenarios turning out well without wearing rose-colored glasses. Swihart has shown he can turn a ball into a hit if he makes contact, but he has combined an above-average strikeout rate with a well-below-average power profile. That's not a recipe for success. He'll still be just 25 this year and he lost more than half a season to injury, so he's not quite a lost cause, but he's getting close. WOOF...

    I agree. He has tremendous upside. I think you give him one more season in AAA and then take the training wheels off next year. The LF debacle was amazingly unfair to his development. It's a huge black mark on the FO to me.

    I watched it with my eyes. It was bad. The sample size on prior performance doesn't matter. It only matters for future projections. He definitively sucked behind the plate. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=13176&position=C#fieldingadvanced

    This is how I grade my catchers.

    My definitive determination is that his defense sucked in 2015 and 2016 in Boston. He could get better, but I can clearly say that he sucked balls while playing behind the dish in the majors in 2015 and 2016. If you deny that he sucked those two years, you're gaslighting. Saying "oh his sample size was too small" doesn't matter. You can say he may be better going forward, but definitively his defense has SUCKED so far over his major league career.

    I don't care about Swihart's MiLB numbers.
  14. mvp 78
    I agree.

    Jeter also OPS'd .438 during the series he was labelled Mr November (walk off in 2001 WS). It helped that this was his fifth trip to the WS over the past 6 years.

    I must be on a different twitter, twitter for old farts.
  17. mvp 78
    His career CS% and CERA are well behind CV's and Leon's. People in the org have said that he's improved, but no one has said that his defense is ready to play. If it were, he'd be on the opening day roster.
  18. mvp 78
    "Well, he ONLY has one plaque written about his clutchness. He's really only a 1 OPAR guy (One Plaque Above Replacement)." I hope JH reveals a statue of Ortiz when his number is retired and it has Ortiz wearing a shirt the says "Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox." Then it will be case closed for this argument.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't think his defense is THAT close to being ready. He still can't call a game for s***.
  20. mvp 78
    I don't understand this comment.
  21. mvp 78
    If his defense improves in AAA this year, he'll be the opening day C next year.
