Or the evidence in that they force fit Swihart into the lineup as a starting left fielder once. And that they DFAd the #3 hitter to keep him. DD has been a Swihart guy for a while now...
-
You rave about Mike King, who really gets very little buzz and doesn’t seem like he’s much different than a lot of the Sox “non-prospects”...
-
That can’t happen. Jacko said so...
-
Maybe someone needed to start one...
-
If the concern is a drop off in him leading off games with home runs, he only did so 5 times last year. So the drop off should not be too drastic...

Rene Rivera was released today. Rivera is a no bat/all glove catcher who was once valued at over 5.0 fWAR despite playing part time and providing 0 offense. In the last 3 years, he has totaled 3.2 fWAR despite combining for about 530 unproductive plate appearances. Very similar to Leon. Rivera is older, but his presence on the market for free does make it tougher to trade Leon...

I’d say JD Martinez would be a great option there. I do think his opt out is more likely after 2020 than 2019...

Has Eric Van shared this with American League hitters? They seem blissfully unaware of his awesomeness. Van also seems alone in his conclusion that Johnson is “above average.” That Johnson was worth 0.3 wins more than a replacement level pitcher would strongly counter this, even if you take into account his IP total. His only “above average” pitch is his curveball. It’s tough to get above average pitching out of below average pitches that get put into play all the time...

If the Sox just want a cheap defensive CF, those are not always tough to find. The Mets got Keon Broxton this off-season for next to nothing...
-
I do think Arenado might be a better comp for Betts than Trout or Harper, largely due to age...

Baseball?

Have you ever read your own posts about Yankee pitching prospects? Honestly, replace the words Sharwyn, Houk and Hernandez with King, Loasigia and Garcia. And Abreu. And Cessa. And Tarpley. And then end by saying they have too many pitching prospects. And it’s you.
-
Oh well. Guess the Sox shouldn’t make that deal. Not like Dombrowski reads my posts anyway...
-
Except that Jeffress is already out t start the season and Knebel is having UCL issues, which might mean TJ...
-
Now you’re making me sad
-
So that puts the Sox over the $246mill threshold, right?
-
My cringing started at 6 years, so I’m doing ok. Thank you for your concern...
-
And Stanton, you know, since he decided to eliminate all teams but the 4 LCS participants when choosing a trade destination. That worked out really well. For Boston...
-
I hope you let Marco Hernandez down gently while embracing your new crush on Lin...
-
Gee two Yankee fans for sources. And one of them likes to let his graphs stand alone while omitting crucial information...
-
Which is why the deal makes sense for both sides. The Sox have open spots on the 40 man roster but also have no outfielders in the occupied spots, unless you count Sam Travis’ limited experience out there. The move gives the Sox a little depth in the outfield just in case for a catcher who was never going to bring back a reliever that would be of any help to the Sox anyway...
-
Yes I mentioned that...
-
They were the top of the list - and possibly the whole list - last time. And failing to bring him back just increased the likelihood Bogaerts returns. Or the Sox sign Rendon. I know you want to live in a world where players leave the Sox and they can only replace them from their farm, but that simply isn’t the case despite this one outlier off-season....
-
It’s engrained in my awesomeness. And because JD had a limited market 2 years ago when he was the premier free agent available while coming off a second half that in itself was a great season. At 2 years older and in a market that has been heavily favoring sub-30 free agents, you think his market is expanding? If JD opts out, Boston certainly steps to the top of the list of large market teams that need him. Wouldn’t you agree?
-
Even if he does, he’s still more likely to come back to Boston, possibly at a lower AAV but with an extra year..
