  1. Lowrie has been worth 2.3 fWAR. Nunez has been worth -0.8 fWAR. I'm not sure even a Nunez turnaround can make up that gap. ...
  2. Not really sure you know how trades work...
  3. Plus they already have a Gold Glove center fielder with multiple years of control...
  4. I've been on the Rusney Castillo train longer than most nearly everyone, But even I don't advocate bringing him up this year and I get why he isn't coming up. ..
  5. No but he would be an upgrade over Nunez, and Holt has shown to wear down over time...
  6. It wasn't just Ellsbury. He freight trained Hermida, too. And also, Beltre, as terrific as his career has been, isn't the Sox biggest need right now...
  7. Exactly. I've seen do many posts where fans complain about how other teams promote their top prospects and deal with the development as it happens, but the Sox make the fans wait too long to see them. So when the Sox do bring a player up early and he struggles, that's not acceptable either....
  8. It's ready to rip Cora for bringing in Scott, but it's not like we know who else was available...
  9. Beltre is a Hall of Famer but not everyone who excels at something is a good teacher. And certainly not everyone wants to train their replacement. ..
  10. 2b, bullpen, and outfield (yes, outfield) are all higher priorities than 3b. And it's doubtful all of them get addressed...
  11. That's absolutely NOT an enticing deal for Boston. The Yankees have seen Torres struggle. Do you think Miguel Angular and Justus Sheffield for those same two Reds is "enticing"?
  12. What's he going to teach Devers? How to fracture the left fielder's ribs? How to throw a tantrum when someone touches his head?
  13. Chavis is worthless until he can prove 2017 was not the result of performance-enhancing drugs. Travis is not someone the Reds will not target since Votto's contract doesn't expire until the Earth crashes into the sun...
  14. Maybe he's been refusing those type of offers. ..
  15. Maybe I can change it up after all those years ending my part with 3 periods. I can try ending each one with 3 semi-colons for a while;;;
  16. He has an app for that...
  17. Every post that doesn't end in a question mark...
  18. Rental trades are fine. You just have to know that renting a Toyota is ok over renting a more expensive Rolls Royce...
  19. You can't really count on that. Most early trades are blown away offers. If early trades were cheaper, more teams would make them. This looks like a case of KC either being impatient and making a bad move, or really liking those particular Nats' prospects more than most scouting organizations did. (Fangraphs had two of them at 7 and 10 in Washington's system.)
  20. Eh. They could simply bench him. The guy makes Jonny Gomes/Chris Young money...
  21. I don't. I think he is Henry Owens 2.0, with the new "less hype" feature.
  22. My favorite baserunning blunder was Clay Buchholz trying to score from second on a double and getting thrown out. Or (going back a bit here), Allen Trammell getting thrown out going to second base on a successful hit-and-run single to right field by Chet Lemon. (Credit to one Marty Barrett for fooling Trammell into running back to first.)
  23. And that he just stupid there in man's land on that triple play
  24. If baserunning miscues were grounds for DFA, Moreland himself might be the first one out the door. Starting with that boneheaded triple play in Baltimore and up through his single off the center field wall against the White Sox, Moreland has shown a pretty fair lack of awareness on the bases. It was the option and very likely the option alone. ..
