Sox to hire Alex Cora as manager
Bellhorn04 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Shows why Holt was a good choice to bat second after all. Kidding! -
I'm about 99% sure Dombrowski will acquire a starting pitcher fairly soon. I'm even wondering if he's trying to talk John Henry into springing for Cobb or Lynn and incurring the tax penalties that would go along with that.
-
And under the heading of fugly names: Ryan Schimpf has been designated for assignment by the Rays.
-
R. A. Dickey?
-
Yes, exactly, for pocket change.
-
The point stands, though, that David Ortiz was relatively underpaid because he was a DH, and if he had been able to play first base, not necessarily even that well, he would have made a chunk more money.
-
Although in theory we should be able to clean up against the other 3 teams in the division.
-
Sure, that's the truth. It's just about when you need a fill-in starter, you'd like it to be a guy who can at least 'keep you in the game' with 5.1 innings and 3 runs allowed or something-not get shelled out of there in the first inning. Somebody who doesn't cost you much but has a chance of landing a decent contract the next year if they do well, like Fister.
-
Travis might be another unexpected bonus, both him and Swihart...they might help push back the cliff.
-
Nothing, except 'told you so' rights.
-
How's that? He added Sale last year.
-
Deal.
-
I know, it's a beauty isn't it.
-
How about this-Hosmer vs. Duda based on OPS+, minimum 400 PA's?
-
I propose a friendly wager. I'll take Hosmer over Duda in fWAR.
-
Someone's going to give Buchholz a minor-league deal at some point soon.
-
It's definitely Clay time.
-
Can LeBron hit real pitchers any better than MJ could is the question.
-
moon didn't just say better value, though. He said better season, period.
-
I'm of the same thinking-don't tinker too much. But apparently a lot of hitters were successful in changing their launch angle to hit more home runs, which was, supposedly, one of the big factors in the long ball increase.
-
Or even imagine if David was insistent on playing first base. He could probably play first about as well as Miggy Cabrera. I assume it was his issues with his feet that prevented him from ever thinking too hard about that.
-
I'm an OPS guy myself. JD's OPS numbers have been pretty sweet for a 4 year stretch. 2014 912 2015 879 2016 908 2017 1066 Those numbers are Ortiz-esque.
-
I think you're going a little overboard predicting that Duda will have a better season than Hosmer.
-
I don't disagree. I think there may have been a little PR involved. It feels like a team tossing a bone to their long-suffering fans, like when Washington gave that staggering deal to Jayson Werth.
-
Apparently unless you're Blake Swihart - then it's the time to take Sandy Leon's place on the team.
