1) Speed 2) Defense 3) Can play all 3 outfield positions.....yeah so can Holt. but I'm close to Holt than to Davis 4) Offense has picked up since All Star break.
-
$300M can sign several good players. I'm glad you're not my GM. You'd bankrupt me. Of course it NOT YOUR money. What if this is Betts norm? You really think it's worthy of $300M contract?
-
Maybe, we should wait on that 10 year, $300M contract offer.
-
JBJ is bigger priority for me than Xander. I like him better than Beni. Betts is the only one ahead of him. Obviously Devers too but he won't be arbitration eligible until 2021.
-
Did Mattie Barnes get ouchie on his back? Is that real or just made up?
-
I don't mean to be a smart ass but the title of this thread 2018 ROTATION DISCUSSION.

www.overthemonster.com/2017/8/22/16182732/brock-holt-red-sox-bench-lineup Here's a good read on Brock Holt and how he is struggling. (i will use nice words from now on)
-
Tough guy? I have never acted tough. Pussy is simply a word, for me it's a great adjective to use on someone who I think is 'soft' or does not have 'mental toughness'. I'm sure Barnes is a great guy. I'm describing his performance on the mound. So if 'I would absolutely wilt in the same situation' then I'm not entitled to my opinion here? Wouldn't you say 99% of posters here would wilt playing major league competition? Yet you offer your opinion and my guess is that it's not always flattering. I think Holt 'sucks'. It conveys my thought that he's not very good.I think 'sucks' captures the essence of what I'm trying to say. Hey get over yourself. I love the word pussy. It conveys many things and I only have to type 5 letters.
-
And your point is? That I'm a bigger pussy? True, but I don't pitch for Red Sox. So your baseball comp for Barnes is me? Oh goody.

Steven Wright returns
-
Barnes is a pussy.
-
Votto......Beni (Cincy kid) as the head liner, Swihart and Travis and other minor leaguers. Stanton...Xander, E Rod and others You can plug in a defensive ss. Staton plays LF. Replace E Rod with Wright. I say go big or don't do anything at all.
-
Encarnacion was thought to be pretty good. He turned down an offer from Toronto but in the end had to settle for Cleveland offer. All I'm saying is he and other power bats over estimated their value.
-
I don't know about that. Several power bats got passed over last winter.
-
Yankees usually set the standards. In this case Chapman contract will showcase what NOT to do with a closer.
-
Hell you can't have a better 9th batter.
-
Obviously money needed elsewhere? Asking price too high?
-
Yankees owe Chapman 4 more years at $17M per. Is that what's to going to take to re-sign Kimbrel after 2018? May need a cheaper replacement.
-
I suggested on Game Thread that we take automatic out every time he is due up. That will speed up the game. Today that's automatic 5 outs. Shave off 15 minutes.

August 20th vs. The New York Yankees
Nick replied to Youk Of The Nation's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Can we just speed up the f***ing game by taking an out every time Holt is due up? Hell that ought to save 5 minutes. -
Brock Holt is a joke but John Farrell is a bigger one. The day before Devers big home run vs Chapman, he benched Devers vs a left hander, BUT started Holt instead. (it may have been the same game). Is he a f***ing idiot? He actually thinks Holt hits better than Devers vs lefties? Manageres 'out think' themselves too often It's okay to have thoughts inside the box if outside the box thinking is worse.
-
I agree. Baseball season is a marathon. You can't put the same line up day in day out. Maybe a week is not a long sample size but a month is. Devers has hit well throughout his first 20 games. He should be given opportunity to drive in runs. These are professional hitters. They are getting paid to hit. I'll be more than happy to tell a .200 guy "GET f***ING BETTER". It's about WINNING.
-
Yep, he needed at least a month in AAA.
-
Now that Devers has filled in nicely at 3B, Thornburg deal does not sting as much. We are 5 games up and we have a 3B with much higher ceiling than Shaw. Injury sucks but I doubt he was damaged goods at the time of trade.
-
Other than the closer, this pretty has to be the make up of bullpen to reduce cost. Spend the money elsewhere. Workman Year 1 Scott Year 1 Barnes Year 2 Hembree Year 2 C Smith Year 3 Thornburg A2 Kelly A2 Abad A3
