So, I suppose he will never have an "awkward throw" from deep in the hole the rest of his career.
-
That was my other point. Sale is toast. Pedey is toast. Paxton, CC, Didi, Hicks and all other Yankees will be back soon and at 100+%,
-
Where's the well-established timeline to 100% recovery for SSs? Look, I'm not saying he won't comeback to 100%, but while there is a pretty good history moat pitchers do comeback after about 1.5 years or so, the history on SSs in largely unknown. Again, I'm not saying it is harder for a SS. I'm saying I don't know. Do you?
-
I already answered, "No," but I'm really not sure about how easy it is for SSs to get back to near 90-100%. Are you?
-
I bet it was 14-19.
-
He's the only catcher that was ranked in the top 10 by all voters in 2018.
-
If you really think he is just an average defender, there's no use talking anymore.
-
Both Price and Sale do way better with Leon. If the differences are truly a result of who is catching them, that differential way out weighs the probable loss on offense between Vaz/Swi and Leon. On salary: Vaz is slated to make- 19:$2.85M, 20:$4.2M, 21:$6.25M, 22:$7M club option ($0.25M buyout). Leon makes $2.475M with one arb year left. If the arb guy agrees that he sucks, the Vaz-Leon salary difference will be much more next year. Vaz will likely make more than Leon & Swihart combined in 2020.
-
So, maybe he starts on the 60 day DL? One question, of all those you listed, how many came back the same or with only a little less ability than before the surgery?
-
What would a Betts extension be?

Well, Obama was President, so us dreamers became legal. -
I assume you'd throw in Swihart, too.
-
Where was Boston's pen projected before 2018?
-
Some longer throws. Some off balance throws. Warn up & middle of inning throws. Yes. (Note: I'm not doubting Didi's ability to comeback at 100%, but there is so little history to show how easy or hard it might be.) The guy can hit, so he'll have a job regardless of his throwing arm's recovery.

moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Kind of like all those Papi deals. -
When do we trade to get him back? After Sale & Price's ERA jumps 1.50? Will he get a Mirrabelli escort back to Fenway?

Yes, we were on that site, but when it closed, we came here. -
That was kind of my point. The Yanks will certainly have to "wait and see." Thanks for the history and lack there of. I just find it a bit annoying how Yankee fans always assume the worst on Sox injuries and struggles, but I rarely see the same concern on Yank injuries.
-
No, but what is the history of SS's recovering from TJS?
-
Shortstops need a strong arm.
-
They could DL him and give him a shot to build it up in AAA, but that contract might make it easier to just DFA him.
-
I don't disagree, but I think he gets one more year at 3B to show continued improvement. BTW, I know you have been critical of Andujar's defense, too, buts you seem to focus on Devers more, although I don't see what you post on Yankee sites.
-
We could probably use a cheap DH, if JD bolts, so keeping all 3 has some merit.
-
First, he has to prove he's overcome the injury.
-
Yes, I'm not sure Holt & Lin are enough IF depth. Remember, trading Leon does not really "save" $2.45M, since even if we add a min wage guy, we save only about $1.8M.
-
I'm not sure what the Sox feel about Groome right now, but if they have high hopes, I'd think no, but yes, $7M could go a long way, if we are looking to stay under the max line.
