    Did they make one to another middle infielder?
  2. notin
    The Fenway Franks are now made with a lower grade of space age polymers…

    His StatCast last year was actually very impressive, which was why I thought Boston could use him. Granted, it’s better from the left side…
  4. notin
    And yet he is a career starter that took on a bench role. If your biggest problem with this team is they spent too much money on a Gold Glove winning infielder that can play all 8 positions and put him on the bench, maybe “cheapskate” shouldn’t be your primary accusation. Again, it’s a one year deal for $6.25 mill. IKF is hardly the biggest issue, and it wasn’t a choice between him and Pete Alonso…

    Oddly, those two are at the forefront of the surprising start by the Twins. But - and this is coming from a guy who (in)actively campaigned for Josh Bell last July - I cannot see these two being an adequate response to cheapskate allegations. Especially if the Sox only brought in one of them…

    But the only year that matters is this one. Philly’s run differential is (-42) - worst in MLB. Maybe they do miss Ranger Suarez…
  7. notin
    Josh Bell or Victor Caratini. But not both…

    I think the hope was Durbin could be a rising star. I think they liked his glove and his Fenway swing. IKF was brought in to fill a bench role. Unlikely they would have brought in Durbin for that type of role…

    Same size as Boston’s…

    But what about Dombrowski’s Phillies at 8-14 with an MLB worst -42 run differential? At least they’re not in last, thanks to the Mets’ 11 game (and counting) losing streak…
  11. notin
    Why do fans (not you specifically)think bunting is so easy? It’s a dying skill around MLB, true, as the Rays are showing. Not because the Rays can’t bunt, but rather because they’ve been showing that no one knows how to defend it anymore. But bunting MLB is pitching is difficult and not a given. For Duran, no idea how much he bunted in college, but probably not often against pitchers throwing 98 mph sinkers…

    Not sure why. But Whats anout their offer to Bogaerts made you think they were into bringing back another shortstop? They had already committed lots of money to one shortstop, getting him the year before necessary. Given their public commitment to younger players snd lower salaries, I think having $50 mill in AAV tied up on just middle infielders for the next 6 years or so felt unlikely to me…
  13. notin
    And will we stop hearing about bringing back Dombrowski considering the complete shambles the Phillies are becoming?
  14. notin
    They would have to either DFA someone or call up Tolle or Bennett. Or activate Sandoval…
  15. notin
    Just put him out on Lansdowne Street and stamp Return to Sender on his forehead
  16. notin
    It’s not like we sang songs around the campfire about Jonathan Arauz. The Sox were due for a miss. It’s ok. ..

    IKF is actually a very good all-around player. Great defender and very versatile. He’s been a starter for the bulk of his career for a reason. And he had some key hits today. If the Sox didn’t have him, we’d probably be seeing more Sogard or similar. Yippy…
  18. notin
    You do realize IKF was brought in for a bench role and not in place of Alonso or Schwarber, right? At best he took Refsnyder’s spot on the bench and payroll. Not Bregman’s….
  19. notin
    They could activate Sandoval…
  20. notin
    Isn’t Oviedo on the IL?
  21. notin
    It was also never going to happen. Story was going back to SS once Bogaerts left…
  22. notin
    12 years ago? They’re due to cut bait…
  23. notin
    He’s fine at what he does, but he’s really a low power contact hitter…
  24. notin
    Sooner or later, Boston will realize it’s ok to cut bait with a Rule 5 pick. Who was the last one they returned?
  25. notin
    But he already sign Story the year before. Kike at SS was because of a Story injury. The problem wasn’t that the Sox didn’t stockpile 9 figure contracts at SS; the problem was the replacement once Story went down was an oft-injured player who spent the entire season injured and never suited up for a single game…
