    Apparently you haven't read anything about Robinson Cano.

    No, the Guardians moved Santana to DH because he was coming back from a knee injury, and the catcher they currently have is a great defender, while Santana grades out around average. He's also a hell of a better pitch-framer than Salty.

    Bingo.
  4. User Name
    I doubt you can.

    Ho ho ho yes he is.

    Infante will find a starting job.

    They're going to have to convince to rein it back a little bit. He's too intense for his own body's good.
  8. User Name
    Not necessarily. Market inflation, positional scarcity and the possibility of Pedroia retaining his core offensive skills could see him producing even or even slightly above average value in the latter stages of his career, health permitting.

    The best case scenario for a Jacoby-Red Sox reunion right now is for Cruz/Granderson/Beltran/Choo to go to any combination of Yankees/Seattle/Texas/Cinci, since that pretty much solidifies the Red Sox as his A-1 option, and might get him to sign for something like 5/90. That's a hell of a lot more palatable than the 6/120 Seattle was reportedly prepared to offer him.

    True, but then you get an utility who can and problem solved.
  11. User Name
    Or you could bring in a guy like Bloomquist who's a plus defender in essentially every position. That'd solve every reason for your whine-fest. Go figure.
  12. User Name
    Because it's Dojji.

    WAR already does this.
  14. User Name
    His WAR might have been quite a bit lower had his BABIP not been through the stratosphere.

    Hanigan has a .359 career OBP. How is that redundant with Ross, who can't hit?
  16. User Name
    For the record, Ryan Hanigan is better than Salty in every aspect of the game except power (even has a higher WAR since 2009, although he has less games played), is an elite defender per both SABR and scouts, and is cheap. Since the Sox' main catching prospects aren't ready for 2014 and Butler and Lavarnway aren't good enough to start, the move only makes sense, since he could move on to a mentor role to Vasquez come 2015. This isn't groupthink or whatever else you can come up with to justify your thought process, it's common sense.

    What's the infatuation with Butler? He's not that good. And Dojji, as jung posted above, this is another example of the flaws in your thought process. You've been whining all off-season about the idea of handing the CF job to JBJ then you turn around and present the idea of handing the most important position in the diamond to a rookie with either less experience or upside than JBJ. What?

    So does this mean they're going to trade for Stanton?

    MVP: Talksox police.

    Yanks are crazier than you are obviously.
  21. User Name
    Truer words have never been spoken.
  22. User Name
    Didn't you do exactly that with the Victorino move?
  23. User Name
    Mookie Betts, and no thanks. (Not that they'd take that package anyway). It's just that with his injury history, he's just not worth the gamble.
  24. User Name
    You can reasonably expect the subsidy to be no more than 5 million, and the prospect cost to be around three prospects (with two of them being top-100). Don't think it's worth it for any team.
  25. User Name
    Not a worthwhile gamble for the money/prospects he'd cost imo.
