    Andujar is great at hitting lefties, but there are only so many platoon guys that you can put onto a roster IMO.
  2. mvp 78
    If they wanted another platoon OFer, they would have re-signed Refsnyder. I'd be surprised if they signed Andujar.

    I'd be less worried about him if it was just his ACL. He ruptured his patellar tendon FWIW.
  4. mvp 78
    Anyway, I don't want to rehash it further because we're all pretty entrenched into our positions.

    I don't think he was a bad teammate. I think they should have had him move to 1b in ST. If they had that convo and gave him time to workout in the Spring, it would have been fine IMO. We'll never truly know though. Sox have a history of bad mouthing people as they are on the way out the door. They really didn't have much ammunition for Raffy. If he was such a bad teammate, there would have been a lot more to say. All I know is that the lineup is much weaker without him. If they had Anthony AND Devers, we'd be a lot less concerned about what is going on right now.

    I'd pass on both TBH.
  7. mvp 78
    Very unexciting.

    2010 got this cold in my area. Had a lot of local fish die off that time from the cold temps back then after being cold stunned. We'll see what happens here. The ocean temp was at 73 yesterday, so hoping it wasn't too bad in the estuary. I didn't bother covering my yard with blankets because I redid it with 400 native plants two years ago. It would have been hard to know what to cover and what to ignore. The plants that I typically see on the beach (dune sunflower, railroad vine) look awful, but they'll be back and take over again once it warms up. The jamaican dogwood and fire bush are pretty rough too, but I think they'll just drop their leaves and regrow them in a month or two. We'll see what happens.

    The other alternatives cost more than just money though.

    Strawman? You compared my argument to a flat earther. Feel free to back pedal all you want. I guess this amounts to burning the world down somehow. I would like a nice fire though. Just one small one in my office. It's really cold in here.
  11. mvp 78
    I just don't happen to take everything the FO says as the end all be all. There are multiple sides to every story. Not sure that makes me a flat earther though. If you need to see the world in black and white, you do you I guess. If I find evidence that Raffy was a bad teammate aside from "he wore headphones" I'll listen to it. "Nobody pitched a fit when he left so he must have been a bad teammate!!!" 😎

    Sox offense needs omph and Paredes could give it some. I originally had Hoerner higher than Paredes because of the defense. Not a fan of Shaw. He'd cost a lot too.
  13. mvp 78
    🥶
  14. mvp 78
    I didn't want him at 3b. Why move Raffy off 3b just to get older RHB Raffy next season? Paredes>Hoerner>>Donovan>Shaw If it's not Paredes or Hoerner, I'm not sure I'm interested TBH.
  15. mvp 78
    When did that happen?
  16. mvp 78
    I can't really be worried about the other 29 teams, just what the Red Sox are doing TBH. If Suarez is a 3b/DH, many teams already have that spot taken. Some teams just won't pay 15M for a DH. That pushes the amount of teams willing to sign Suarez down to a select few TBH.
  17. mvp 78
    Well, he didn't mash in winter ball. He played ok in AAA at the end of the year. He'd really need to start turning it on for that to happen. His competition is Romy/Eaton, someone else? Since Hamilton is a LHB, it's a different roster spot.
  18. mvp 78
    4 years of Triolo, but he hasn't hit much above high A. He plays great defense, but just seems like a UTIL guy. He's projected to be the starting 3b for PITT and I think a sub 700 guy can work there, not sure it's a great fit here. Low exit velo and barrel rate. He'll be 28 on Sunday, so he's not exactly young. I'm sure the Sox could make a package for him out of some of their stock of arms if they really wanted. IMO, he's a step up from David Hamilton, but not enough to meaningfully improve the team. Romy isn't a great 2b. They'll probably go with a Hamilton/Romy platoon at 2b if they don't go outside the org. If Hamilton's bat stays at '25 levels, they'll acquire someone midseason or call up someone from WOO. I have no idea what KC has. I'm hopeful that his bat can return to form, but don't have any faith in his glove. Maybe it can work out in the OF with his athleticism, but he just looked so awful at 2b. Not sure how well Masa would have to hit for the Sox to move him. If he hits well enough, the Sox would probably just hold onto him if Casas wasn't mashing. IDK. Lots of moving parts there.
  19. mvp 78
    They clearly didn't believe in his glove at 3b and thought the defensive decline was real. He probably would have hit 35 HR's this year as DH, but still have Masa and Casas lingering on the 40 man. What's the plan for 2b/3b? It's down to Cubs/Cards/'Stros trade or Boras mystery team.
  20. mvp 78
    He's a fine teammate with a crappy boss who doesn't know how to communicate.
  21. mvp 78
    KC has been working as 2B/LF, not just 2B FWIW. Those just are his normal positions. I don't think that means he has any shot of being on the Opening Day roster.
  22. mvp 78
    Sox never made an offer. They didn't want him to begin with. Had nothing to do with cost. 🫠
  23. mvp 78
    Happy Truck Day. Go help pack up some bubblegum. Suck down some fumes with other fans. Enjoy the seasonal weather.
  24. mvp 78
    I've heard from Mets fans that he is more of a UTIL guy than a fulltime player and doesn't really have the chops for 3b.

    Yuck
