  1. Maybe the Sox can sign him to back up Haniger in RF? Of course most years, backing up Haniger = starting…
  2. Mitch Hanover’s chances of receiving a QO from the Mariners are about the same as mine…
  3. And one of those starters would be Justin Turner, whose previous job was being a utility infielder for the Mets…
  4. In Kike’s case, it’s flat out inaccurate. He spends the overwhelming majority of his time in CF. And for all of this talk about “super-subs” and backup/starter blah blah from the folks who watched Williams and Dom DiMaggio, not one mention of former AL batting champ Billy Goodman?
  5. Why Haniger, who has played about 280 games in the last 4 years. Granted 2020 brings down every players average games per season, but Haniger played 0 that year. So if the Sox sign Haniger, who plays RF for the other 90ish games?
  6. Kike is an amazing defensive player who could be in the argument for a Gold Glove at the three most difficult (non-catcher) positions - 2b, SS and CF. That alone makes him a worthwhile starter on any team. He’s not a good leadoff hitter. If you want to make that argument, I will adamantly agree…
  7. H H Holmes was on moon’s original list. To be fair, he was a better player than you think he was..
  8. Did you say that when they claimed Schreiber? (I’ll admit, I thought it.) Not to mention, they can’t make any real moves until after the World Series…
  9. I’d put him in the top 10, non-pitcher category…
  10. I do agree with him that Rickey was absolutely among the greatest players of all time. Until Bonds passed him, Rickey was briefly the all time MLB leader in 3 categories (stolen bases, runs and walks). The list of players who were the all time leaders in 3 categories is pretty small…
  11. IMO keep Rafaela. Mayer is a good thought, but 1) extending Bogaerts and 2) drafting Romero should put him in the evaluation. If they really think Romero is going to be just as good, why wouldn’t Mayer be a little more available?
  12. At some point in the very near future, e we might need a couple of those prospects. When Kike is gone after 2023, I’d rather still have Ceddane Rafaela step in than Corey Rosier or Jarren Duran…
  13. I’ve been calling him DFA Fodder since August 3rd. But it’s the only Sox news we’re going to have for a couple weeks…
  14. What exactly do people mean by going “all in”? The team had a payroll of $234 mill last year and people think that’s only going half ass?
  15. Maybe Raffy what? Contrary to popular belief, Devers is still under contract…
  16. So apparently Hosmer now has a full NTC. Of course he didn’t have a “Please don’t DFA me” clause in his contract…
  17. But we’re all in agreement I’m the more handsome knucklehead…
  18. Technically only 2 contracts, because Xander’s does not have to end. He must have been absolutely catatonic after 2004, when Pedro, Lowe, Varitek, Cabrera and Nixon all had their contracts come due. And there’s 26 guys on a roster, making that percentage even smaller…
  19. The money and signability is a big reason always. Carlos Correa was taken number one overall but much of the pre-draft hype was all around Mark Appel and Kevin Gausman. (Correa was somewhat hyped as well, but proved to be more singable,) Or Matt Bush taken first ahead of much, much more hype around Jared Weaver and Stephen Drew.
  20. Me, personally, thinks “stick it to the Yankees” is a bad reason to sign a player. And I mean “shouldn’t be on the list of reasons why” bad. Sticking it to the Yankees should come with continuing our newfound dominance in titles this millennia…
  21. Don’t forget the Mets!
  22. And David Bell will (and should be) banned as well if he partakes in the services this new partnership…
  23. MVP is taller, but Notin is more handsome…
  24. So they don’t like slight improvements? Its a much more equal and sensible deal than the Red Sox trading their starting LF for more expensive downgrade at backup catcher…
  25. So people can differentiate MVP from Notin?
