    Apparently any talk of a player’s deficiencies or of changing his position is tantamount to trade banter...

    In theory, if Dalbec was average and Devers was below average, why not? An upgrade is an upgrade...

    Proximity to the majors gives him better projections?

    And let us not forget the infamous Carl Mays - outstanding pitcher that some think should be a Hall of Famer. Best known for throwing the pitch that ended the life of Roy Chapman. But the guy pitched for 15 years and was 207-126 with a 2.92 ERA (119 ERA+). Mays was also the first of the players sold by Frazee to the Yankees, a list that included many quality Red Sox players such as Bullet Joe Bush, Sad Same Jones, Hall of Famer Herb Pennock, and some obscure guy named George Herman something or other. It probably did not help Mays' cause for either the Hall or even to say on the Red Sox that he reportedly had a reputation as being a very unpleasant human being and had a notorious reputation as a headhunter...

    But without LaRoche, we might never have acquired Casey Kotchman and his .572 OPS...

    Puig is one of those guys where is both surprising and yet still unsurprising that he cannot get a job...

    Are you dissing the memories of Adam LaRoche and Adam Stern? It's weird to think that in the last 10 years, the Red Sox have had more players named Boof than named Adam...

    Very true.

    I’m fine with Munoz over Arroyo. But Downs can wait for a starting job...
  16. notin
    Arroyo is the utility infielder. "Low ceiling" is in the job requirements...

    Not sure, but the original diagnosis had him out for 8 months after surgery, which he had on September 9th. So mid-May return?

    So Duran is a better CF than Cordero?

    I’m not worried about the catching. The issues are more likely to be the tracking. But overall, the OF isn’t going to be the biggest issue defensively. We saw Verdugo last year. He won’t be Bradley in CF, but he won’t be Dwayne Hosey either. Renfroe’s metrics place him as an average RF. And Cordero’s metrics are weak but the sample sizes are way too small. Scouts have always liked his defense. But people who have never seen him play and fall back on the metrics might be disillusioned. The infield defense is the greater concern...

    I do think an outfield of Cordero-Verdugo-Renfroe might give the Sox the best combination of throwing arms in MLB. Those guys all have cannons...

    He loves you, too...

    Actually many scouts like Cordero’s defense. His metrics are based on 600 innings spread out 3 positions and 4 seasons and tell very little at this point. Clint Frazier’s metrics are worse and based on larger samples, but because some clearly stoned BBWAA member finagled a Gold Glove nomination for him, Yankee fans think he’s actually good out there...

    Have we seriously reached the point of claiming we miss Tzu-Wei Lin? What’s next - decrying management for letting Sam Travis get away? If you like Lin, don’t worry. He’ll be available next year. And the year after. And the year after that. And, heck, probably after every year until finally he decides to retire...

    Depends. Do you think 1995-1999 deserve asterisks as well?
