    Come on. It's just infuriating when literally 2/3 of the board has explained the reason why keeping the platoon going is the thing to do in order to give the team the best chance to win and we get posts like this.

    How is it an extremist point of view? Explain your definition of "extremist". What i'm saying is that Lee is a guy you're only going to be able to control medium term, at big money, for prospects and who's, well, pretty old. If you're going to move significant pieces and money it should be for in-its-prime talent. I don't know how you reached the conclusions of "extremist" and "talent hoarding". I would certainly be singing a different tune if the available pitcher was Felix, or a guy like Kershaw or Madison Bumgarner. And mind you, it's not even a certainty that Lee IS available with the Phillies hovering around .500, they may have delusions of making the playoffs.

    Yeah forget about the platoon! Who cares that Gomes is just starting to heat up and Nava has a massive platoon split! f*** logic and numbers, play him everyday!!!11!!!

    The ever-elusive quadruple post.

    Oh God, f*** this umpire. Trout literally struck out twice in that AB. f*** this

    Agree with the first point, disagree with the second. Lee is just not a realistic option for this team, with the money he's owed, his age, and the prospects it would take to pry him loose from Philly. That type of "win-now" move is exactly the reason 2012 ended up happening.

    At least two teams (one of them being the Sox) have unsuccessfully tried to obtain Mauer by absorbing the totality of his contract. Thus far, the Twins aren't interested in that trade scenario. Also, i highly doubt Mauer could be an "elite" 1B with his mediocre power. Positional standards exist for a reason.

    Ortiz, again, owns the Angels.

    Right handers just don't have a consistent way to get Nava out.

    Top 10, yes. Top 5, debatable. I would personally rank Cabrera, Ortiz, Cano, Alex Gordon (severely underrated), Trout, Fielder, and Pedroia as better overall hitters than Mauer right now. And again, rjortiz, as you notice, the fact that he's a catcher is a big reason for his overall value.

    So now everyone on the Red Sox has a beard except Iglesias, Nava and Drew because they can't grow one?

    Davis has a 1.133 OPS, good for a 200 OPS+. Homerrific.

    Davis?

    Ortiz owns the Angels

    Top 5 hitter in the league? Helloooooo hyperbole.

    Define "glaring". The Sox have a 4.07 team bullpen ERA. Most of the damage has come against Alfredo Aceves and Clayton Mortensen, who is essentially the one true weak link this BP is dealing with right now.

    If you're that keen on good-hitting catchers that aren't particularly K prone, Brian Mccann is a free agent after the season: He's a 279/.351/.476 .826 career hitter who has never struck out more than 100 games in a season in his career. He's coming off injury, but is looking great behind the plate and at the dish. He will also not cost even close to 23 million a year.

    I'm sorry, but i just don't buy Mauer as a full time 1B for 23 a year. We can definitely agree to disagree.
