They were working out Travis in LF in the Fall League, but he went home with a minor injury. Lin has played some OF. Holt will likely be on the 25 man roster, at least until Pedey returns.
-
The guy doesn't even know Pedey is hurt for the first 2 months and Nunez is having surgery.
-
I don't think DD figured his salary would have ended up that low. In hindsight, we could have not signed Moreland ($5.5M), traded Chris Young ($6.5M), not brought back Abad ($2M) and not traded for R Davis and Reed. I think with all that, we'd have snuck under the line. We'd also have had no 4th OF'er or decent replacement when Pedey went down.

He is a much better glove than Devers. Devers was on pace for 45 errors this season. Moose has had just one negative UZR/150 from 2012-2017. From 2014-2016, he placed 15th out of 42 3Bmen in UZR/150 at +3.0. Devers placed 33rd out of 33 last year at -12.7. (Moose was 22nd at -3.6.) That's a significant upgrade any way you look at it.

2017 Red Sox Starting Pitchers Out of 82 AL starting pitchers with 70+ IP our starters placed.... ERA- 3. Sale 64 8. Pom 73 19. Price 84 27. ERod 93 42. Porcello 102 46. Fister 104 If you go by the top 15 are aces, the next 15 are number 2's and on and on, we had... 2 aces 2 number 2's 1 number 3 and a top number 4 in Fister.

RIP, Doc. He threw 63 complete games from 2002-11. That was 30 more than any other pitcher in the same span.

LOL! I keep doing that!

25 Man Roster Assuming we sign a big bat, most likely at 1B. here's a look at the 25 man roster situation (assuming no trades): (Opening day) 60 Day DL: Pedroia ERod (Thornburg?) 16 Locks- FA signing Betts Beni Bogey JBJ Devers HRam Vazquez Sale Price Pom Porcello Kimbrel Smith Kelly Barnes 6 Probables- Leon Hernandez Wright Maddox Scott Hembree (no options) Options for Last 3 Slots- Holt, Lin, Marrero Travis, Swihart, Brentz Workman, Taylot, Martin, Jerez Johnson, Velazquez, Beeks, Haley, Elias

Good points. Shaw has led the league in games in 3 of the last 4 years, but he's always had less IP than appearances. I think he'll be fine, but you have given me reason for concern.
-
Shaw and Lin have also been learning the OF.
-
If JD signs elsewhere, I hope we go for Santana or Moustakas. Maybe we can sign Bryan Shaw and a decent 5th starter, too.
-
Sounds like the whole EE situation. Everyone but DD was "interested."
-
On infield defense anyways.
-
-
As much as we think of Cameron as a mostly defensive player- like JBJ- the numbers show otherwise: JBJ: 9.9 WAR (-3.9 OFF and 34.5 DEF) MC: 50.7 WAR (120.2 OFF and 130.4 DEF) Note: most of Mike's offensive numbers cam from his years at ages 28 to 36. Maybe we'll see the same from JBJ.
-
I'm not for replacing Devers with Moustakas. I'm for replacing Moreland with Moustakas and improving our 3B defense along the way. It's turning 3B into a Gold Glove position, but it might be turning something close to the worst 3B defense into something close to average along the way.
-
Negative defensive WAR is nonsense.
-
The comp is Mostakas vs Hosmer, Morrison or Alonso- not between Devers and Moose. We are not benching Devers by signing Moose. Moose over Hosmer in my eyes. Better IF D all around and more power. Plus, why roast Moose for his first 2-3 years in the bigs?
-
I don't think we do either, but personally, I like Mosse at 3B and Devers at 1B/DH more than Devers at 3B and Hosmer at 1B, which I think will happen. I'd rather have Santana than Hosmer, as both are QO's. JD Martinez is not a QO. He's my first choice, assuming we only get one major signing.
-
The main problem is that the new rules state that if RC is added to the 40 man, he will count against the luxury tax budget for the remainder of his contract. If we stay over the luxury limit for the next 3 years, the cost might get to high. One year is probably okay, but we can't "do over", if he fails.
-
I'm afraid it looks that way. I'm still holding out hope he puts together multiple hot streaks within one season...2018?
-
To me, the best "deals" as projected by MLBTR would be Moustakas, Santana, Bryan Shaw and/or Duda. If we want to squeeze out HRam we could sign 2 of Moose, Santana or Duda + Shaw.
-
I can't find where to enter the contest. Do you have a link?
-
33rd out of 33 in DRS since 2016!
-
It's slightly below average, and DRS numbers make it certainly below average. He isn't getting any better, which is what bothers me most: 19th out of 33 in UZR/150 from 2016-2017 and 33rd out of 33 in DRS at -21! One shows slightly below average. One shows the worst of all. I wouldn't call that average. [2017 alone shows17 out of 30 in UZR/150 and 29 out of 30 in DRS at -15.]
