According to Scott Lauber Pedroia has been meeting with specialists and is still weighing options including whether to have surgery or not.
(Joke on) Asked who will make the final decision, Pedroia said 'It's not me, it's them!' (Joke off)
Stanton is a big talent, maybe a consistent .900 OPS guy if he stays healthy. But he won't be averaging any 60 HR's a year. MLB might even look to deaden the baseball or something...not everyone was thrilled about the big spike in HR's this year.
OK. But it was still a lousy trade. And Lackey was vastly better than any of our 'Who's the Ace' crew in 2015.
My sense is that you just don't like the guy.
Ben's career as a GM is a tough one to assess.
But I'm somewhat of the belief now that he was never really comfortable being a GM. I think he likes being in the background a little more.
