  1. Statements like that always make me think of Dwayne Hosey. Lightning fast runner. Horrible outfielder. Dude couldn't catch a cold if he was naked in Norway...
  2. Or Baez plays 2B for one year while the whole Bogaerts situation works itself out.
  3. Not sure. I just saw his name on a potential non-tender list. Probably either salary or they need the 40 man roster spot. Or both. I would call him a bubble candidate...
  4. They never should have. He barely touched AA in 2019, then did not play at all in 2020, and then was effectively bumped up 2 levels for 2021 after not playing for a full year. His struggles were not a surprise, and his biggest crime was failing to be Juan Soto...
  5. Never confuse speed with quickness. Speed might help on defense, but there is no guarantee a fast player is a good defender, as speed has nothing to do with the ability to judge, catch or throw...
  6. Maybe he gets $125/5. Should the Sox be in on him then?
  7. I think Baez will top $100mill. Probably not by much, but I think he can. All it takes is one crazy GM like maybe Scott Harris to go all in and overbid everyone else. Not saying it will be Scott Harris, but it will definitely be Scott Harris...
  8. BTV accepts a trade proposal of Franchy Cordero for Matt Boyd. Boyd is a potential non-tender candidate with Detroit with only one year left before free agency. I do realize I am on a very short list of people who still have faith in him as a pitcher. I think even Mrs. Boyd dropped off that list a couple of years back...
  9. He and Ward are both likely to be out until August/September this year. So a minimum of 2 more years before they enter any kind of discussion about being on the parent club...
  10. And what will the Yankees be giving up for Reynolds? Ben Cherington is a notorious prospect hoarder. If you have a player you think is off-limits, that will be undoubtedly what he wants and it will be non-negotiable. Per BTV, Reynolds has a surplus value of $85mill. Using their system, the Yankees would need to trade Volpe and Dominguez and Gil to get Reynolds...
  11. Freeman, not Goldschmidt...
  12. Then why have him?
  13. And Earl Weaver once said the opposite. "If a guy steals second, you have no guarantee he's going to score. But if he hits one over the fence, you know you have a run." So who do you believe? Both are Hall of fame managers...
  14. 1. Maeda is a (maybe slightly above?) average starter who had a terrific 2020 “season” that stands out from the rest of his career. 2. Would acquiring an MLB pitcher who was already over 30 really have made sense in a trade for the Sox best position player?
  15. So sad. We missed out on a starting pitcher whose topped 135 innings twice in 6 years…
  16. We did. But he failed his physical…
  17. Jarren Duran is an obvious candidate…
  18. It would basically be a pre-emptive move if/when he opts out after this season. But for 2022, Baez would play 2b (like he did for the Mets) and X would play shortstop…
  19. That’s a rather harsh assessment of his physical appearance, you body-shamer!!
  20. Even with the rather mediocre selections in free agency?
  21. Well, Rotoworld is reporting they are talking to Javier Baez. I’m surprised, too…
  22. AGon was the Betts in that trade - the good player LA wanted to get bad enough to take on everything else...
  23. Or maybe he doesn't try to break up the AL runner-ups and tries to add to them. The only team to last longer than Boston this October is losing one of their best players as it is...
  24. No but it is guaranteed no regardless of what happens with the CBA...
  25. i'm not so sure Renfroe is going to get anything close to a "prospect haul"...
