  1. Betts is having a better one for a lot less money...
  2. It's easy to look at these teams and say "their pitching is better", but then the Sox have certainly been competitive with both of them in head-to-head games this year...
  3. It does depend what he gets. As JD Martinez learned, you don't always get the contract you expect...
  4. The big problem with him trying to reach all those incentives is most of them are CBA violations. There is no MLB player in history named Baez who is in Mookie's category. And Javier Baez, who "deserve this contract" is arguably the fourth best infielder on his own team...
  5. It still falls just short of Betts and Workman for Kemp plus we take the whole contract....
  6. Between Holt, Nunez, Lin, and Pearce, the Sox should have a decent amount of depth to give what’s left of Brandon Phillips time to get ready. Personally I think Phillips is not as good as Holt at this point in his career
  7. With the exception of Kimbrel, they are all humans and are therefore susceptible to injuries and fatigue...
  8. Those early looks at Martinez in the outfield might be blurred by the extremely late start he got for spring training...
  9. Acquiring a bullpen arm is something all contending teams seem to do regardless of need. It's like a formal announcement of intention to contend...
  10. Clearly you are unfamiliar with Chris Sale's run support...
  11. So you are going on record as saying the Sox are not going to go 31-49 (.388) the rest of the way? I can agree with that...
  12. It's a good add, but not a great one. My only issue is Pearce has been injured a lot the past couple years.
  13. Depends on the terms of the contract...
  14. I would think the Mets would be all over those players, but then young controllable outfielders (Nimmo, Conforto) and shortstops (Rosario) are not their biggest needs...
  15. Do the Sox even have a prospect we would miss terribly if he was traded?
  16. Pearce has 2B experience with 240 innings at the position and a 0.1 UZR/150. Think he gets time there?
  17. Even then, is he still likely more than a future utility infielder? Not that UIF's are unimportant, but certainly they are replaceable and ca be acquired multiple ways quickly. If he is the next Carlos Asuaje, was it a bad deal?
  18. You've got to stop listening to Natick and Mad Stork about what this team needs. If Dombrowski actually took their advice and made those deals, they would both complain about what he did to the team and tell you how it was weaker and still not built for the post-season...
  19. Soxprospects.com ranked Espinal 19th in a weak farm system and said he profiled as a future utility infielder He was 23 years old and still in A-ball, granted due to a late start from playing JuCo ball. But I really doubt the Sox miss him...
  20. Only other player to do so was Kelly Johnson...
  21. They will demote Tzu Wei-Lin..
  22. No it won't. But it will postpone it until his next slump...
  23. It probably won'y get their attention. Groome might not have as much trade value as you think right now...
  24. Obviously Mookie Hugh. For multiple reasons...
  25. My belly button is puckering and unpuckering with this news!!!
