Currently, he's playing SS. In the future, he may move to 2B or 3B. Maybe he stays at SS? Xander was projected to move off SS when he was 18 too and he's playing a better SS at 29 and 30 than ever. Hard to really know for sure for someone so young.

Aside from constructing the 2013 roster, Ben did a pretty bad job signing FA's, drafting and following rules regarding IFA signings. I wouldn't put it by him to sign Panda and Hanley, but it's in the ether that it was driven by ownership for ratings.
-
Just getting rid of the negative fWAR (-1.1) from starting Jacques, Kluber, Ort, et al will boost the overall rating of the starters to begin with.
-
Bottom 10 fWAR, but with an additional 2.5 fWAR they would be top 10 of the league. Last year: Kutter 2.2 in 23 starts, could do better with more starts Sale 2.1 replaced by Gilito with 2.4 fWAR projected by Steamer Bello 1.6 projected to have 2.5 fWAR by Steamer Pivetta 1.0 projected to have 2.0 fWAR by Steamer Houck 1.2 projected to have 1.9 fWAR by Steamer An acquisition or even just going with this group could get them to top 10.
-
If he wasn't saved by Theo draft picks and DD moves, it would be over.
-
Then Henry and the rest of ownership shouldn't have any say in who gets signed, just in overall budget. It has been theorized that they pushed for Panda and Hanley. If so, it wasn't Ben that needed to be tossed.
-
He already had 10 decent starts there. I wouldn't be surprised if they push him a little more now that he's on the 40 man.
-
Bleis was noted as being in the "just missed" category. If Cespedes has a strong season, he'll be in the conversation too.
-
Crane: Doesn't accept responsibility for the cheating without deflecting to the Sox and Yankees. Bristles at the findings that the organization had an "insular culture" that contributed to what happened. Denies that the Astros tanked when he bought the team. Initially said the sign stealing didn't affect the outcome of the games and now just claims his initial statements were the work of bad PR. f*** THAT GUY...

More ******** to ignore: @BOSSportsGordo Some Red Sox notes from @JonHeyman on his @BRWalkoff stream: Mid-tier SP market will be active in the next 7-10 days, Sox in on that. Sox in on DH market, which will heat up in the next 7-10 days. Blue Jays favorites for Jorge Soler. DBacks and Red Sox next, but Sox seem to just have their eye on everyone. Said Sox keep looking at players but need to do more. Angels, Giants, Phillies, Red Sox were teams he listed for Snell. Rangers most likely for Montgomery, Cubs after them. LAA/SFG/BOS/PHI on periphery.
-
He couldn't show up to Crag's press conference on time, so.......
-
Record in playoffs 2015-17: 1-6. Not great! He didn't inherit a great team.
-
He gave a thumbs down to Lester one year, but a thumbs up to Price the next. Why?
-
Then we need another guy for the 6th inning?
-
First ST workout date for Sox is 2/14. First full squad date is 2/19.
-
Just a dump of Vaz on a team that doesn't want to take on $$$. LOL.
-
Compromised his owner...............................
-
Bullpen tweener guy. No big loss IMO.
-
But why? Are they taking McGuire too? Makes no sense.
-
John Henry.
-
Only if you're going to stock the rotation with guys who can't stay healthy like Eovaldi, Wacha, Hill, Sale, Whitlock and Paxton.
-
Record in playoffs 2016-17: 1-6. Not great!
-
"Houck, you're pitching all 9 today son..."
-
I think you misread the post.
-
Sox selling point is a one year deal and working with Bailey/Crag. Reclaim value and get a longer term deal next offseason.
