Yet they might be willing to take Sandoval (plus prospects) if it meant they could unload Miguel Cabrera, who is still owed about $198million and doesn't have an OPS above .800. And the one guy who actually thought giving a 32 year old future Hall of Famer an 8 year $240mill contract was a good idea is currently running y he Sox
-
Probably only need him for 6 weeks..
-
Are the Sox winning 62% of Sandoval's starts?
-
Where in Illinois? NW burbs here. Worst name I've seen was a cashier at a supermarket in Palatine. Her name was apparently pronounced "Shi-THEED"but the spelling on her nametag read "********"..
-
Marrero's offense is practically non-existent, but the Sox are 18-11 when he starts and 25-23 when he doesn't. ..
-
It wasn't a good example of the point AND was making. But Bellhorn's point about not being able to find bad stats about Trout was spot on. I guess you did inadvertently prove that...

Third base has sucked for the Sox since Mike Lowell retired. My point is I always see things like "Bogaerts doesn't hit enough to play thIrd" or "Swihart dOesn't hit enough for a left fIelder" and that's a pretty weak way to pick a position. Base position on defensive ability, and offense just needs to surpass defense....
-
Ah but there is a big difference between "we need offense" and "Player X doesn't hit enough to play third base."
-
I was never a Shaw fan, but Sandoval made me one...
-
That's not a statistic; that's supposition...
-
I know we all grew up learning otherwise, but defensive positions are actually best determined by defensive skills, not offensive ones...
-
It's not about Bogaerts being happy. Don't confusr happy with comfortable. I never heard anyone say Hanley was not happy in left field.
-
Bryce isn't on the 40-man
-
He also has 58 at bats through roughly 58 games..
-
Lin is basically the lesser version of Marrero. I'd just assume continue with Marrero and Bogaerts. Bogaerts to 3b would make more sense if he was comfortable at all playing the position, but he isn't. If the Sox thought he could handle the position, the time to move him there was 2013, when Middlebrooks was proving his all around incompetence at the position. ..
-
Someone needs to go to make room for Devers. Noe Ramirez?
-
The only reason the Sox might be holding on to Craig and Castillo is that both have 3b experience. ...
-
That said, I wouldn't complain if Craig or Castillo were sent packing. But if the Sox are going to release minor leaguers, 40-man roster spots are more valuable than AAA DH roles. Who there should go?
-
I would disagree. AAA isn't a big development step like other levels. The average age of players is usually 27-29ish and many of the players in the AAA leagues are already on 40-man rosters while they wait out someone above them getting hurt. AAA is more about depth than development. ...

Third place?

It's easy to lik e Jay Bruce this year. And he is making it easy to forget how awful he has been in the last few seasons beforehand. I'm not sold on Bruce. The only good thing about him is his very short contract. ...
-
The weird thing is, Hanley took much less to return to Boston. Talk before he signed was 6 and even 7 year deals
-
A good glove and a below average bat...
-
Exactly.
-
But where was it leading? What was your point..
