So he got injured and refused to sign an extension while injured? And folks are complaining about this? If only Chris Sale had followed suit…
-
For what and by who? With Nomar, there was a lot of interpreting him sitting in the dugout as being selfish. Cabrera used to call the official scorer during games to get errors changed to either other players or into hits. Also he allegedly was known for making moves on the wives of his teammates…
-
The bad teammate stories surrounding Orlando Cabrera are much, much worse. I assumed the Sox simply moved from him in order to take advantage of loopholes in the free agent compensation system (and maybe they did), but the White Sox moved from him for reasons related to him being a selfish a-hole…
-
Jeter did help himself by being a cornerstone of MLB’s most popular franchise and playing during the “Let’s Give Awards To Bad Shortstops” Era. It’s really an indictment the entire Gold Glove system that horrible defensive players like Jeter, Edgar Renteria, and Michael Young combined to win 8 Gold Gloves while far superior defenders Adam Everett, Jack Wilson, and Rafael Furcal have 0 combined awards. It turns out, Sox fans, Renteria might have just been an overrated defensive player given awards he didn’t deserve…
-
If the Sox retain Bogaerts, I assume he’s only the SS for maybe 2 or 3 seasons tops. I really don’t have a lot of faith in his defense, but it will come down to how much longer he can hit…
-
And we all thought Lars Anderson would hit better than Danny Heep, but sometimes reality doesn’t oblige. I’m not saying Rafaela is Darren Lewis 2.0 (which wouldn’t be a bad thing as DL had a good career); I’m saying by if he plays good defense, hits .250, and walks 8% of the time, that’s exactly what Lewis did. For years…
-
I know t this is laced with sarcasm, but there’s always someone who rewards this and doesn’t get the sarcasm and then still fails to realize how truly ridiculous it is to try and compare our lives to MLB players do directly. I mean how am I supposed to imagine my agent turning anything down? (That’s not the entirety of the issues with this comp.)
-
The injury is well documented. The bad teammate stuff to me seems to be a bunch of fans watching a game and thinking “I would not do that” and then leaping to conclusions
-
He talks about that. https://www.audacy.com/national/sports/nomar-clears-air-on-why-he-sat-against-yankees-in-2004-game
-
Totally irrelevant, but Pyne’s dad is from my hometown. I went to high school with a couple of Drew’s uncles…
-
Specifically he would be Darren Lewis…
-
The trade worked out perfectly, but he has talked about the frequent injuries and his depression. Sox fans act like he was frustrated with the Sox not paying him and him taking it out on the team, but he played for 5 years after that 2004 season and only played 57 games at SS over those seasons. He wasn’t holding back on the Red Sox…
-
Yeah I get all that. But I’m not one to condemn without proof of some sort…
-
His name came up in a lot of PED conversation, but was there ever any evidence he used anything illegal? Bear in f during his career, lots of things are still legal…
-
That whole account of Nomar’s behavior during that game has been refuted multiple times by numerous members of the Red Sox organization, yet somehow because some Boston media clown who never talked to Nomar (presumably Steve Buckley, who hated Nomar for reasons no human ever knew or could possibly understand) decided yo use the work “sulking” and tried to make out about a contract, that story has stuck. Francona has even said Nomar was ready to pinch hit for Trot Nixon (despite Nomar having two swollen Achilles’ tendons), but the Yankees didn’t bring in the lefty who has been warming up…
-
No, Valentin. Although your hatred of Nomar feels a tad misplaced. Injuries slowed him down far too young, but he was one helluva player…
-
Duvall’s best part of his game is his defense. Having him on a DH list is like making JBJ a DH candidate…
-
Team player!!
-
That’s the exact opposite of a discount…
-
Well then I will start harassing him on some random 813 number. If you know any of his digits, it would be a big help probability-wise…
-
I’ve been trying Bloom all day to go get Winker, but no answer. I suppose it’s entirely possible that it isn’t Bloom that I’m texting. Not like I have his cell number. I just sorta guessed and assumed it was in 617…
-
They need someone to replace the irreplaceable Adam Frazier. Enmanuel Valdez should suffice…
-
This thread makes no mention of the Sox all time team leader in DRS - Mike Aviles…
-
Sometimes they just give it to a player who fields s as though his glove was made of solid gold…
-
As much as Bogaerts got the generous spot here, no one is even talking about Correa who was much worse…
