    Some stingy owners still find value in not paying players.
  2. mvp 78
    We've all died on many different hills over the years.

    He definitely isn't the only LHB. Verdugo will need days off. Rafaela can be moved to other positions (2B/RF) to help cover platoon issues. In that scenario, Duran slides to CF and Refsnyder plays LF.

    No way will OAK move on from Gelof and that value is way too low on him. Gorman is LHB and a bad 2B. Caballero is a low ceiling guy with a good glove. Estrada is Caballero with pop, but less control. Ibanez is a cheap replacement, but on the older side. Lopez had one really good season, but hits LH anyway. India is one of the worst fielding 2b in the league. Aside from India, they'd all be upgrades from what we have in varying degrees. I'm not sure all the teams would be amenable to trades, especially OAK. I'd rank them: Gelof (trade Yorke and Drohan) Estrada Caballero Lopez Ibanez Gorman (LHB, not a good defender, expensive to obtain) India

    He gave everyone a glimpse last season. Give him the shot to earn a starting job this year.

    Sox don't make any sense for Ohtani IMO. I think the contract is too high and he can't pitch this season. He's also coming off his second TJS. Why would a brand new CBO take that risk?
  7. mvp 78
    He doesn't have much trade value, but most of his splits were carried by his 2022 season. He wasn't really that good in 2023 (828 OPS with LF only glove). Duran hit 749 vs LHP with a similar defensive profile, but was an impact runner on the basepaths.

    In the absence of making any moves: Duran - starting LFer Rafaela - starting CFer Verdugo - starting RFer Abreu - 4th OFer Refsnyder - 5th OFer/platoon for tough lefties Masa - fulltime DH
  9. mvp 78
    DeGrom and Heaney were likely going to not pitch up to their deals. That rotation has lots of volatility.
  10. mvp 78
    It was an obvious lighthearted joke.
  11. mvp 78
    Abreu also has options.
  12. mvp 78
    @SoxSpects Larry Lucchino is looking to sell Worcester Red Sox. No sale is imminent. Now that is a rumor.

    Here moon goes again trying to start things with Old Red!
  14. mvp 78
    2012 did a good job at killing off most of this board. I thought the COVID conversations were what would put it out of its misery, but it may end up being Bauer in the conservatory with a youtube video.

    Dipre, you are agreeing with someone's logic who is so smart that they are spelling it DEFEMATION. They definitely know all about the legal system!!! It's probably just like what they've seen on Law & Order, Boston Legal, Judge Judy and Ally McBeal (Old Red really liked the dancing baby).
  16. mvp 78
    I'm fine with throwing Rafaela out there and letting his bat flounder for a while. His glove is good enough to make up for it and he's got enough contact skills to at least keep his bat fringy. If they sign Duvall for RF, it's really Abreu that becomes the 4th OFer IMO. Refsnyder is then just used to platoon Duran against LHP only.

    On MLB Network: Craig Breslow: “There’s a need for a bona fide starter or two.” Oh, it's two!
  18. mvp 78
    At least we don't have to watch Max Muncy play 3b.

    I don't care. I've said my peace. I don't know why you guys keep talking about it over and over again. I only butted in because it was brought up yet again.
  21. mvp 78
    He is good at baseball! I'm glad he'll be here for a long time!
  22. mvp 78
    Got it. He'd be expensive for a DH and I'm not sure Crag is going to go that direction. Not a bad idea though!

  24. mvp 78
    I agree. I was just posting it as I've seen it mentioned elsewhere.
  25. mvp 78
    He was awful in OF the last time he played out there. DD basically said he's 1B only going forward.
