So … good parents, successful family. Beachfront homeowners. And he’s a musician! Sounds pretty well-rounded…
-
Smith’s peak OPS this year is .678. Casas’ career OPS in April is .718. I can stand by my statement…
-
Also I think I prefer Ibanez over Drury this season. Drury’s sub-.500 OPS is a big turn off, especially since it is so unexplained…
-
Oh ok. Corner OF is fine for Ref…
-
Never! That’s Evil Scientist Thinking!!
-
Did we acquire a SS in this scenario?
-
A Triton Casas slow start is still at least as good as peak Dominic Smith…
-
RF platoon with Abreu. I doubt the Sox get Drury and Canha, and the way Drury is going this year, hard pass. Andy Ibanez might be an upgrade at 2b, at least vs LHP. But it creates a roster crunch with Gonzalez/Hamilton…
-
My revised list Priority 1 - SP. Here I like Tyler Andersondue to an additional year of control and a Bailey-esque approach on the mound. Priority 2 - RHH. Mark Canha (.851 OPS vs RHP) makes for a platoon at DH with Yoshida or can play 1b until Casas comes back. Priority 3 - MI. Brandon Drury was a RHH and good fielding 2b with pop until this year. Pass. Andy Ibanez has become possibly the most underrated 2b in MLB right now, due to good defense and the ability to murder LHP (1.027 vs LHP this year). Priority 4 - Bullpen. If they just get priority 1 and bump Winckowski back here, this might be a non-issue…

But I think most believe you have to get through the slow start. And that it’s best to not prolong out…
-
I judged Bloom on both…
-
Fair point. “Can DH” doesn’t mean “must DH”…
-
Bad idea to have a catcher that can DH, although Adley Rutschman and Cal Raleigh do this quite often. Of course last week, Raleigh was pressed into taking the field from his DH role, and this moved Luis Castillo to take over at DH…
-
Actually I think most teams do have a full time DH…
-
That award is given out based on how the player handles press conferences…
-
They can get a rental player this month whose contract expires in November. Like the aforementioned Drury…
-
Really what this team needs is a 2b. Still. Valdez cannot field. Or hit LHP. Westbrook is the kind of player who should only start once you traded away your 2bman at the deadline and are playing out the string. Grissom is AWOL. And since Pedroia got hurt this position has been a void with the exception of some brief glimpses of hope from Brock Holt and Trevor Story. Not sure what 2b is available this month. Brandon Drury checks every box except the one that says “not having a horrible season at the plate right now.” Any other thoughts?
-
Go back to pitching underhand…
-
He’s like 5’9”. Maybe. Him, Yoshida and Rafaela are the Lollipop Guild…
-
In the flow of the thread, it was easy to interpret you suggesting 1b as a potential landing spot for any new RHH…
-
You’re assuming they all stay at 2b/SS or stay in the organization. And as I mentioned earlier, when Grissom was Mayer’s age (minus 6 days), he was already in MLB…
-
I feel bad for the guy. He managed to put together a 9 year MLB career, something nearly 90% of those good enough to even reach MLB can’t do. And his entire legacy is that he was among the worst hitters ever…
-
Manos: Hands of Fate is two hours well spent when accompanied by MST3K. Not sure anyone has ever seen that movie any other way…
-
I think if they acquire Mark Canha, he plays DH against LHP with Refsnyder in RF. I think if they acquire Randal Grichuk, he plays RF against LHP and Refsnyder plays DH…
-
DH is a position and it should be treated like one. It only differs in that it has no defensive requirements. Ideally, you want David Ortiz or Edgar Martinez in that dedicated role. Yoshida is far from the ideal DH, and I doubt he holds the exclusive rights much longer..
