DD is going to get lambasted for whatever he does. GMs tend to. With Hosmer off the table, I would agree with Oldtimer, give Boras a number with a deadline attached and if he is offended by that so be it. He would likely wind up playing somewhere else for less than what the Sox would pay. If DD had acted earlier, we would have had to sift through the pages of whatever he did being done in panic mode. He is a tough negoiator and and now people seem worried and upset by his lack of moves. Also for what it is worth, if JD signs here it would not bother me one bit if the Machado trade was then made even if there was no guarantee that he would be with us after one season. I don't like Machado but I do like his game. I think Bogaerts would be easy to replace this year, next year, or next next year.
-
blah blah blah - The trade for Machado of course is likely not to happen but your responses expose a typical Yankee fan fear. It is unlikely but with DD you know that it could and boy would those two signings alter the balance of power.

You are killing my dreams Moon!
-
I think that you are over talking this! If a lowly little fan like me has thought of this possiblity, I'm betting DD has as well. I'd take that lineup against anything that comes out of Yankee stadium.
-
Now I don't know you but even though you spend a good deal of time on this site, I still think that you might be a decent person. I don't like the Yankees just so you know and boy would this be a nut shot to them.
-
Let's see - billionaire. Now I'm not one of those but I do get the difference between millions and billions. You are starting to quake aren't you? Let's go - all in here.

Well isn't this just a nice discussion about our park being a hr hitter's paradise or not. Sorry guys but it is pain in the ass time. I have been duly educated this year with respect to how insignificant the homerun ball really is. LOL - Don't you all get it - if you have enough punch and judies you just don't need that big bopper. You put the guys who can lay the lumber out there and they will make Fenway look like a power hitter's paradise as they have in the past. Makes no difference which side of the plate the hit from.
-
I'm dreaming I'm sure - but - can you imagine a lineup that has J.D. Martinez, Machado, and a healthy Ramirez in it? It actually could happen. That would be enough to make any self respecting Yankee fan throw up their morning chow. Wether you like it or not, that would be one hell of a lineup.
-
I think that that looks pretty good!
-
good to have another voice - have fun
-
Now we are talking.
-
barrels per plate appearance - lol Give me more - I've learned all kinds of things over the course of the last 24 hours. One of which is even that advanced metrics can be somewhat subjective depending on who's model you choose to use. Something that most of us already knew for sure. When used the right the way they obviously are a necessary tool, when not - not so much. But now barrels per PA?
-
That's why the Red Sox interest according to most reports is just lukewarm.
-
I would be very surprised if this signing happened. it doesn't seem to make any sense to me at all. SS for one is not an area of need. A power bat is of course but signing Machado just doesn't make it for me.
-
it is laughable. it's why I just enjoy watching the game and will continue to formulate my own opinions and express them.
-
This is really starting to make me chuckle now. the FIELDING BIBLE - now that sounds pretty damn impressive for sure but Moon are you saying that this BIBLE shows how voters sometimes vary widely on their rankings? I'm looking at the info you have listed and I am seeing quite the discrepancy as well. Who you gonna believe these days? It just is not right when these folks who gather all this information and put it to the test can't be counted on to just agree!
-
I'm really ok with your answer here. I am glad though that your use of the word probably tells me that you do see that the metrics very well might not tell us everything you want to know. Now before notin jumps in here please understand that I realize how important the use of consistent reliable statistical data is. In my world, it isn't a competition between observation and statistics. Use everything that you can.
-
Of course it is notin. Not everybody gets listened to. Kind of looks as though the metrics being used can be brought to question from the looks of things as well.
-
I think that the case might be that it would depend upon who you are listening to with respect to personal opinions. Do you really think Moon that there could possibly be this much of a discerepancy coming from two reputable statistical sources? My guess would be that you don't. If it is possible then anyone who thinks they are more informed than someone with an educated opinion is just kidding themselves. Nothing is foolproof I get that but really that much of a difference?
-
If it is even possible that there can be this much discrepancy with respect to stats that you guys think are that reliable then does it not give a certain amount of credibility to the people who choose to rely on the eye test? Bogey is an average ss - JBJ is abut as good as it gets in center - JD really isn't all that bad in left. Come on.
-
Oh boy - here we go. Nobody has labeled anybody here as anything other than you and one other. When I think of what an ace is Chris Archer's mug does not appear. A good pitcher - yes most of the time but an ace - really? Once again, no one has labeled Benintendi as great. He should be good I think though. You are getting a little off track here I think when you use Williams, Yastrzemski, and Rice to try to prove your point. My guess is that if they played in this era of feel good sports where lots of teams make the playoffs, we would have seen some titles for them all. Doesn't matter though, using these 3 to prove your point is what I consider to be foolish.
-
It isn't necessarily about the time - that is a statistic - it is about the significance of the actual move that is made. It is all about the people being moved. Right I get it - We Benintendi now and he goes on to have a great year next year and in future years but that is ok because we got Chris Archer for 4 years regardless of how he pitches.
-
You have to be just kidding here right? I like Archer too but a "true ace"? Nope - sorry - don't see it. he would surely be more motivated than in past years by changing uniforms but ACE - really! He is a good pitcher. Not worth giving up Benintendi for just yet but a good pitcher none the less.
-
Oh God notin you've lobbed me another softball! lol If that is your idea of a no brainer than you must think that that Bagwell deal was special too right? I don't think Benintenid will turn in to Mike Trout but if he is just getting going many of us I think would prefer to keep him.
-
I've liked Archer now for some time as well notin and I would love to see him in Boston- but I'm thinking not at the expense of losing a young player who we really don't know what to expect from going forward. We can at least make reasonable guesses as to what JBJ may give us but with Beni I don't think so. He could become one of the best hitters in baseball. We just don't know but if he does i think he becomes much more valuable than the addition of Archer right now. Betts, Benintendi, Devers - my 3 keepers
