So he’s a less versatile but more expensive Dalbec?
-
He also said the 2018 Sox would not compete in the AL East. (I suppose one could argue that the 2018 Sox really did not find the ALE all that competitive.)
-
Fulmer, Montero, Bogaerts, Wacha, Bassitt. I’m ok with Benintendi and Mancini. No on Myers. (Where is Myers playing in your proposal?) I do wonder if - against my wishes - the Sox don’t just use Hosmer and Dalbec in a DH platoon…
-
How did he outmanage him in game 5? By remembering Gerrit Cole was on his roster?
-
And the World Series will be seeds 1 or 2 vs 5 or 6….
-
Not sure why you ask us and then say the Sox have nothing to interest Seattle, which you have now done twice…
-
Absolutely. Winker is an OBP machine. His BTV value of $2.1 mill is relatively small and opens the door for numerous possibilities. What does Seattle need, besides postseason wins or a pitcher who can retire Yordan Alvarez? Winker (2.1) and Flexen (0.3) for ?
-
If that happens, someone will complain that he took a nap…
-
Standing with 6/$150mill. Take it or leave it, Xander…
-
Well done…
-
It’s also the combination to my luggage!!
-
Age is a bigger factor than it probably should be, but I believe the goal with any contract like this is to get as many of the age 28-32 years as possible, before decline sets in. As Bogaerts is already 30, do you think he still gets paid like a 28yo?
-
I’m ok with that, as long as 1) there are actual bodies batting third and fourth and 2) no JD…
-
Why? The only other option IMO might be leadoff. The 3 hitter isn’t really the place for RBI/production guys anymore, but moving him down = fewer PAs, which is also bad. I could see him batting first, but third is really the second best option…
-
Not to mention, signing any deal is not Boras’ decision. All he can do is say “Xander, please wait.”
-
With Garcia, the three years bothers me more than the $41mill
-
Avisail Garcia hasn’t been very good since 2017. Not sure how far back off a bounce is to be expected. Plus his contract has 3 yrs $41mill left on it. Might s well just get a free agent pitcher and NOT watch this guy Pretend to Defend out there…
-
Why does St. Louis need to trade an outfielder? O’Neill is a surprisingly good defensive OF, but not sure where their stack up is. Grisham is a lights out defender, but struggles offensively save the occasional hot stretch. Not sure how available Ward and Suwinski are…
-
If Renfroe is available, he is certainly a candidate. And things worked out pretty well with him in 2021. So, in no order, the (non-QO) OF candidates named so far: Gallo Haniger Benintendi Berti Laureano Renfroe With likely QOs, there is Nimmo and Judge. Anyone else? New or forgotten?
-
So… Houck
-
Berti certainly has the leadoff/OBP aspect. Sox should investigate getting him, too. But as he’s not exactly costly, he’s probably not as available. I don’t think he has the arm for RF, but some bodies can be rearranged…
-
What exactly were the strengths of the farm at the upper levels?
-
Or Duran I actually think Oakland might not mind Duran, but I doubt they give up Laureano for him. I doubt they pay the BTV price at all…
-
Other than Benintendi and Nimmo, who else is available?
-
Laureano is a defense-first solution. He’s not ideal, but still better than most FA options…
