I doubt it. They could pay Hamilton or Reyes at SS and move Kike to 2b. Then the Sox would be starting either on over Valdez or Arroyo, not Hernandez. Kike isn’t a horrible player; he’s just a horrible shortstop…
-
Some of us feel he should be a starter based on his CF defense alone. He might be able to play a solid 2b. He does have the advantage that the Sox aren’t throwing out Pedroia or Doerr there, and it problem wouldn’t tape much for Kike to out perform Arroyo and Valdez. We just know he cannot play SS…
-
Then why the sudden need to lunge into the Pro-DD rant? Which by the way you’ve also gone over before but on the very short list of things you don’t excuse yourself from repeating. Someone simply mentioned Sale was a mistake by the Sox FO. And he was, just not the current one. All facts. Yes or no?
-
Why? How many long term starting pitcher contracts have worked out?
-
So … you’re saying the previous front office is NOT responsible for signing Sale?
-
To be fair, that decision was the previous Sox front office…

Think Cora will ever notice the Sox are 5 games under .500 when Kike starts at SS and 4 games over when he doesn’t? -
You can’t expect the GM to improve on something that hasn’t happened yet. He have the future to look at. If a player improves elsewhere, there could easily be other factors involved. Are Wacha and Eovaldi benefitting from better defenses? Or better coaching? Is JD hitting better because of worse pitching or the ballpark or being buried in a better lineup? Other than the defenses, I don’t know of any of these are true. But they are all certainly possible…
-
And also a pitcher who NEVER pitches a full season by that definition. And one San Diego gave a 3 year player option to if he does get hurt…
-
To fans, yes. GMs should consider how long deals are and what that impact is…
-
Does it matter? Sale could sustain a season ending injury while reading a book…
-
But hey, Sale almost got to 60 IP this year…
-
And their replacements are not signed long term. They’re also easily replaced…
-
Starters aren’t only pitchers. Anyone who starts can be called a starter and it fits the definition of the word and distinguishes them from bench players…
-
JD had his chances in Boston. Most people are upset he wasn’t traded away. Again, it seemed like no one liked the 2022 Red Sox when they were here. But now that they’re gone we’re swimming in all this Wacha, Eovaldi and Martinez love. I think some folks just need to stop pining for the past and listen to the words of the great philosopher Stephen Stills . If you can’t be with the one you love…
-
I was responding to a comment about he hasn’t drafted anything in his middle too late rounds. He’s only had two chances to do that…
-
Obviously you have forgotten about Aaron Small…
-
Did Cora? The Sox are 19-24 in games Kike starts at SS. 12-8 in games anyone else starts at SS…
-
Or… he could have realized that he was never going to call up Hamilton even if he was winning the International League triple crown and the Sox only other alternative at shortstop was wheelchair-bound. And then he could have protected Ward…
-
But having the world’s greatest defense can make your pitching look better. Red Sox are 29th in team Defensive Runs Saved. Rangers (Eovaldi?) are 3rd and Padres (Wacha?) are 9th…
-
Point? JD’s last season in Boston, he had a .790 OPS and hit 15Hrs in nearly 600 PA. He wasn’t horrible by any stretch, but what did he do that made you think he was an obvious extension candidate?
-
To be fair, Bloom has only had two drafts that even had middle and late rounds…
-
Drohan.

Heck their new $300 mill shortstop is being booed by his mom. True story. Google it…
