    I'm sure there are. It's just a matter of the price tag, either in dollars or in players. Even with Spring Training drawing near, I am confident that Breslow will pick somebody up.
  2. Kimmi
    I don't think we need a big upgrade, but an upgrade would be nice. Obviously, a big upgrade would be nicer. If worse comes to worse and we go into the season with Mayer at 3rd base and Romy/Hamilton/Rafaela at 2nd base, it wouldn't be the end of the world for me. We'd just have to win more games with our pitching as opposed to our offense. That said, our infield is one injury away from being in near dire straits. For that reason, we really need to add someone.

    I'm impressed. I'm glad to hear that KC is one of the guys who reported early, and that he will be getting a lot of reps. As far as the WBC goes, I'm sure it's a thrill for players to represent their home countries. It's fun to watch. Just please, no injuries. That always concerns me.
  4. Kimmi
    You have opened Pandora's box. I'm not sure if Fred can handle all the praise. LOL
  5. Kimmi
    Breslow is going to have to get creative. I'm still confident that he'll add an infielder. As I posted elsewhere, it might not be as big an upgrade as we are hoping for, but it will be something.

    I never wanted him signed for a 10-year deal. But I was very happy to have him remain on the Red Sox. Despite his poor defense, I would have kept him at 3rd base to keep him happy and put Bregman at 2nd base. But once you behave the way that he behaved, you have to go.
  7. Kimmi
    Ha. We'll be happy going into camp. The happiness might not last long, but it'll be there to start! Or not.

    I opened my MLB app today, and it showed the upcoming game schedule for the first time since October. This got me a lot more excited than it had any right to.
  9. Kimmi
    It's not even like we got a foot of snow or anything. Maybe 2 inches? And we had another snow day today. LOL
  10. Kimmi
    Yes, I realize that. Hopefully, he will figure it out. He won't figure it out if he doesn't get the playing time.
  11. Kimmi
    Possibly. I realize that he struggled against lefties last year. I just feel like the Red Sox are committed to him as a FT player rather than as a platoon player. Sure, he will sit against some tough lefties from time to time as a day of rest, but not as a platoon. As of now, we don't have the right-handed bats to fill the role anyway. That may change.
  12. Kimmi
    I still don't like the idea of trading Bello, but acknowledge that 1. we are very strong in starting pitching, and 2. other teams will listen. I would not trade Bello if the trade does not result in a net positive gain for the Red Sox, regardless of whether it fills an infield need or not.
  13. Kimmi
    I will be rather surprised if we don't add a 2B or a 3B soon. It may not be as strong an upgrade as we'd like, but we have to improve our infield depth options, if nothing else. I don't think that Mayer will be platooned. Barring injury, he'll play mostly everyday at either 2nd or 3rd base.
  14. Kimmi
    Frankly, I never wanted Duran or any of our outfielders to be traded this offseason. I know that it might still be a necessity, but I'd just as soon keep them all. Someone will inevitably get injured, and we'll be grateful that we have strong outfield depth.
  15. Kimmi
    Memo to Breslow: Infielder still needed. Get it done. Send Red Sox fans to camp happy.
  16. Kimmi
    One of the few times that I am in 100% agreement with Mr. FredLynn. Well said. Thank goodness we got rid of that contract.
  17. Kimmi
    Let's Go! Happy Snow Day to me!
  18. Kimmi
    100% in agreement. I keep waiting for something to happen. Spring Training is getting close.
  19. Kimmi
    I don't disagree with you about this. Duran is very unlikely to play 2B at this point. I'm just wondering why this hasn't been an option or part of Plan B earlier in the offseason. I understand the possible reasons behind why he was moved off of second base, but haven't really heard a good explanation as to why the Red Sox never considered moving him back once the outfield got crowded.
  20. Kimmi
    I'm not a fan of moving Rafaela away from CF either, but if you can get a better overall alignment, offensively and defensively, by doing so, then you do it.
  21. Kimmi
    We'll see what happens. We have some pieces that we can trade to acquire our needed infielder, for sure. I just hope that it doesn't hurt too much. I still say get Duran cracking at 2nd base. He can platoon with Romy. That would probably be a decent 2nd base duo.
  22. Kimmi
    Not even clownishness. It was a negotiation that didn't work out in the Red Sox favor. (Or I could argue that it did work out in the Red Sox favor.) Simple as that.
  23. Kimmi
    No. I would have welcomed Bregman back with open arms, but I would not have been fine with the contract.
  24. Kimmi
    What those guys are saying may very well be right. Or it might not be. They certainly have more credibility than I have on the matter. With all that said, I'm still not seeing anything about the deal being botched. Breslow made a more than fair offer. Bregman was apparently upset that Breslow would not match the Cubs offer, and Breslow was right not to match it. Bregman chose the Cubs. No botching going on there. Now, if you want an example of a botched contract situation, I give you Jon Lester.
  25. Kimmi
    He didn't say he was bidding against himself. He said he wanted to avoid bidding against himself. There's a difference. And yes, we would have hated the deal. As they say, sometimes, the best deals are the ones that are never made. So what was really botched in all of this?
