  1. But any little difference might help right now...
  2. That Swihart is cheaper and more teams have catcher injuries now?
  3. It’s not like they could DFA Swihart right after his brother/close friend passed away...
  4. Very possible. Rangers? Tigers? Rockies?
  5. Prince Fielder, for example, might say no...
  6. He was a first round pick, but that was 8 years ago. Over a quarter of the ones drafted ahead of him are out of baseball or haven’t made the majors yet. It happens...
  7. You forgot to drop the mic...
  8. I don’t think anyone is blaming Swihart for Sale’s problems. Isn’t it possible the Sox just decided Swihart wasn’t or wasn’t going to work out? Remember these are people who once DFAd a #3 hitter....
  9. No, Leon is more like a Jose Molina who let himself go...
  10. Incompetent List?
  11. Plus Bird kind of sucks. He’s like Sam Travis, but less of a hitter. And fielder. And probably baserunner. He can only live on that one postseason home run in 2017 for so long...
  12. I’d have been surprised if it was Mejia. The Sox issues aren’t in the closer role yet...
  13. Eh. The Sox didn’t DFA a young Johnny Bench. Whether his career got sidetracked or not, the end result is Swihart is a borderline MLB player. And he might never be anything more...
  14. He might if he didn’t like leading off...
  15. Leon is coming up, as is Erasmo Ramirez. Walden to Pawtucket. Swihart to DFA limbo...
  16. B-R is cumbersome for those type of stats. Fangraphs.com is easier....
  17. Maybe we need a “best nicknames” thread?
  18. And it’s the kind of stuff that drives dannycater nuts
  19. Hawkeye Wayne and BJ Surhoff. For all you M*A*S*H fans. Apparently Hawkeye Hamilton Wayne is the real name of a former Mariners’ farmhand and not a nickname...
  20. Lol I did exactly the same thing (assumed a joke post was serious) on something said my Maxbialystock a few days back. It happens. He called himself out on it. It’s over...
  21. He already blasted himself. Given the resurgence of this thread it was understandable all the way around...
  22. Swihart can. Plus I’m not overwhelmingly dazzled by the ability of a catcher to play other positions over the primary job of catching...
  23. Yeah that’s a head scratcher, to be kind. Both Pearce and Swihart have 2b experience (although very little from Swihart). And Nunez is still alive, right? I don’t get why Vazquez gets the nod at 2b here. Was it a choice between him and Price or something? I think I’d even give Porcello the start at 2b over Vazquez. I don’t see why not Nunez at 2b, Swihart catching, and Pearce or Travis in LF. Or Vazquez catching, Nunez at 2b, and Swihart in LF...
  24. Also, Lourdes Gurriel was demoted today. Gurriel was all over the place in two games against Boston, going 3 for 6 with a steal of home. Against everyone else, however, he was 4 for 33 (.121)
