If Xander is not good enough as a mediocre defending light hitting SS, I sure as hell don't want him playing 3B. I would prefer us get a legit, power bat at 1B and let Devers settle in at 3B. What would take for Reds to part with Votto? You said money doesn't matter. He would be a perfect fit for Red Sox. Would Beni and couple of other pieces do it? (I only bring him up because of his Cincy connection)
-
I know that John F thinks Sox can't survive without Holt, we need to get rid of him. His ceiling is mediocrity. We can do better.
-
Fans were ready to give out 10 year $300M and $250M contracts to Betts and Xander. That would be the biggest mistake we can make. Let the arbitration years go by and PAY WHAT THEY ARE WORTH when that time comes. Can we get over this 'home team discount' concept? Pay for Value, regardless of where that Value originated.
-
Right, why would you trade your marquee player? Fans will absolutely go nuts. If I'm their fan, I would only be okay with Sale E Rod Devers Betts Groome Flores Benintendi

I hope we don't sign a full time DH in the future. No doubt Ortiz was the best. And he was relatively cheap in my opinion. Going forward, it's more advantageous to have a depth piece such as Nunez that can play multiple position. Give player a break and let him DH from time to time. Pedroia will require additional time off from playing 2B and he's someone that can DH for a series, as an example. He may not like it but he needs it. How much more would it cost to go from 25 to 26 rosters?
-
It won't be his first rodeo in mlb. I'd expect him to step in and hit.
-
This is why you don't just give out 10 year, $300M contracts.
-
His defense to date has been overrated. He's definitely no Bradley and Betts.
-
no I wasn't responding to you....I would have replied to you... I think he was an elite relievers two years ago. I rather have him pitch than anyone not named Kimbrel.
-
What a bunch of pessimists......Smith has now pitched in five games, last four he did not give up a run. He's a pitcher, not a flame thrower. Unless there's a set back he will be on the roster. Last outing was with only one day of rest. He will probably need to pitch back to back games, at which point he should be ready to return.

What's our playoff roster? c Vaz, Leon 1B Moreland 2B Pedroia 3B Devers SS Xander LF Beni CF Bradley RF Betts DH Hanley Utility Nunez Utility Davis Utility Young SP Sale SP Pom SP Porcello SP E Rod Cl Kimbrel RP Reed RP Kelly RP Smith RP Workman RP Scott RP ???????/ RP Hembree/Barnes/Abad/Fiester/Price

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.
