I’d still be ok with a 3-4 year extension. If he was doing all the things you think he needs to, he’d never settle for one that short…
-
Point? Duran has worked out offensively but he’s simply not a good outfielder. I’ve been advocating moving Duran for pitching for months. O’Neill-Rafaela-Anthony could be the future…
-
It’s a one day lineup covering for injuries. It’s only the worst lineup in Sox history if you think Sox history started in 2024…
-
Overpaid heavily to get him on my fantasy team
-
Why? Dombrowski was allowed to jettison two big contracts. And playing Yoshida only adds value if he is successful. Are the Sox worth more with their best lineup or their most expensive lineup?
-
Or bench him if he doesn’t. Not exactly blazing that trail. And Breslow doesn’t need to justify Yoshida to anyone…
-
Devers should be an expensive 1b/DH. Should the Sox leave him at 3b solely because of his paycheck?
-
Probably RF. O’Neil’s best position is LF…
-
Agree. Extend O’Neill. Not like the Sox have an abundance of RHH Gold Glove corner outfielders with power ready to step in…
-
Mayer has played like 5 games since last July...
-
It didn;t start with Hanley, either. But the frequency changed with Cora..
-
I threw the name Elvis Andrus out there. Second year in a row...

Hamilton strikes me as someone who can show you both sides. There are days when everyone will wonder “why do we have him?” And days where we think “oh, that’s why.” The trick for him is to have more of those second days. Now whether or not he’s capable of that is another matter…

Just because someone isn’t learning doesn’t mean no one is teaching…
-
It’s not always so easy in April, when other teams are not selling and therefore not always so willing to move their shortstop insurance…

4/13 Here we go again Angels @ Red Sox

See him do what? Heal? Recuperate? Start his PT program? -

And one major difference - that being the Angels have a weak farm system and are notorious for their mistreatment of players in it… -

It’s certainly more expensive… -
Hamilton doesn’t look like one. Valdez gives you moments when you think he is. But those moments only come with his bat. I’d argue Reyes is an MLB caliber bench player…
-
Well, get him back in it!!
-
Cora’s strength isn’t his command of the typical managerial approach we’re all used to. Houston hired for his deep understanding of the analytical part of the game. And then learned they vastly underestimated how good he was at that…

I was only talking about hot there seems to be a common thread among moving players to positions they are not familiar with. Fans usually blame the FO, probably because they remember that scene between Brad Pitt and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Moneyball where they argued about Scott Hatteberg and Hoffman's contract, and think it is commonplace for the GM to force the lineup. Of course the reality is that never happened. Howe (Hoffman's character) was reluctant, but professional and played along (and did not bitch about his contract since 1. he still had a year left and 2. he had an agent who did that for him for a living). But sometimes, playing the guy somewhere new might be the manager's doing. In fact, I bet it is more often than not...
-
Everyone does internal options first. Much easier to undo if they don't work out. Minnesota is having the same problems in their infield, and are handling it the same way - internal options first...
-
Cora had nothing to do with that. That one is owned by Cherington and/or Farrell...
-
And Romy Gonzalez' Soxprospects.come page is much more favorable of his ability to play SS. I get playing Hamilton while Gonzalez is injured; at some point depth does run out. But according to that NESN article, Cora (mentioned by name, no less) plans a platoon with Hamilton and Gonzalez. That leaves Hamilton as the strong side of the platoon. Of course, it is just a NESN article, and Cora has not actually done it yet. But if he does, will you defend that?
