    If Hanley proves that he is healthy he may be easier to move. The Sox still will have to eat some of the $$$$ this year and possible next year. Signing JD to mainly DH should be the plan. Sox won’t let Ramirez reach the ABs needed, thus the signing of Moreland. If Moreland ends up on the bench more there are not a lot of dollars there.
  2. Behindenemylines
    JBJ defense is off the charts, while Xander’s is so so at short. That is why people are quicker to want to move him.

    Because of the slow FA market there are going to be many players who end up signing 1 year deals in January. The key will be for DD to sign a depth SP to go along with the power bat. Does the slow market mean that teams are done with the long contracts for big dollars that never see a player productive to the end, or are they waiting for next off season.

    I think as a hitter you don’t want to be predictable. A lot depends on who is pitching and how they are pitching. If a pitcher knows that a hitter is always taking the first pitch it changes their approach. If a hitter mixes it up then becomes unpredictable and harder to pitch to. I know that with teams improving bullpens running up the pitch count is not as important.

    The FA market has been slow to get going. I still think Martinez is DD main target. I think January is going to be crazy! Something still may happen with Hanley? If JD doesn’t happen does Nunez return? I don’t think the Sox go to spring training as is.
  6. Behindenemylines
    I agree. If you loss Devers or Benni (Two young power hitting contracts that the Sox have control of for the next 5 to 6 years) then its not hard to make the trade.
  7. Behindenemylines
    I think Cora will be a better communicator with the players (Already reached out to Price) and have only heard good things about him. I think this is a good move.
  8. Behindenemylines
    The announcement of his passing is the first I heard anything about him having cancer. From all I read he was a future star with a bright future. It really shocking when someone so young passes. RIP!

    He is probably more of a sounding board for DD, and won't be anywhere near the dugout.

    I'm hearing Cardinals and west coast teams have best shot at Stanton.
  11. Behindenemylines
    Chavis is the top hitter in the system right now and if the Sox have to trade to get their power bat he will be included.
  12. Behindenemylines
    Sox need a big bat in the middle of the lineup. I'm sure they are looking beyond the obvious of Stanton and Martinez. I don't know about giving up Benni though.
  13. Behindenemylines
    All I want for Christmas is a 30 to 40 homer power bat!
  14. Behindenemylines
    Cora played with Varitek so it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up on his staff. Varitek would be beneficial to helping the pitching and maybe what is needed to get Swihart over the hump.

    Happy Yankee Elimination Day !!! It is one of my favorite holidays of the year. It was getting old hearing them be called the Baby Bombers. Two major members of the Sox, Bennie and Devers are younger then the youngest Yankee. The average age of their playoff roster is about the same as the Sox. They still have the second highest payroll in baseball. An what other team can add the likes of Frazier, Robertson, Kahnle, Gray, and Garcia during the season. Today, is a beautiful day!

    How much money is tied up with pitchers who blow their arms out and teams need to find additional SPs any way? Whose to say that the number six starter wouldn't be a younger less expensive guy who a team is looking to limit innings. I don't know if you can make the claim that teams will be spending that much more. Grant it the only way this works if the rosters are expanded because benches are already shorter because most teams have the extra arm in the bullpen.
  17. Behindenemylines
    The Sox will add a power bat, and a full season of Devers will add to the power numbers.
  18. Behindenemylines
    Everything you hear or read Cora is the guy. He already is a part of one of the best holidays in Red Sox Nation, Yankee Elimination Day. As bench coach this is all goo experience for him that he can bring to the Sox. Spanks held to 1 run in the final two games, he was part of that conversation that accomplished that.
  19. Behindenemylines
    Says the yankee fan. If healthy he has some value to the Sox. A switch hitter that can play a few positions. If not with the Sox (which I hope happens), then as a trading chip.
  20. Behindenemylines
    Pedey only makes sense if you keep his glove in the lineup. At this stage in his career he doesn’t hit enough to be DH.
  21. Behindenemylines
    Pedey’s knee is a long time issue. I think he needs to get the knee fixed, and don’t play until he is ready. I can’t see doing a whole season what they did with him the last two months of the season. That probably means at minimum no 2018 season, and then you have to think can he return at his age if he misses a whole season? That means 2B becomes another hole that needs to be looked at.
  22. Behindenemylines
    He gets a pass because Farrell was not his guy to lead the team he put together. He now gets a chance to pick his manager and add the pieces to the mix that will get the Sox past the first round. The Spankees are back so the competition in the AL East just got tougher.
  23. Behindenemylines
    The Sox need to add power to the lineup. A team that plays half of their games at Fenway and are last in the AL in homeruns. I am done waiting for Ramirez to consistently be a power threat. That leaves 1B and DH where power can be increased with the addition of some bats. Unfortunately, Hanley will be back and leaves room for one power bat.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Fister and pray for four days of rain! Who would have thought when D.D. signed him that he could do what he has been doing.
  25. Behindenemylines
    There were too many called third strikes this weekend that Sox didn't put a swing on it. If Sox do not start hitting it will be a long September.
