No matter what anyone says, I did not miss Pedroia nor Beni last night. I would love to have Nunez return next year. He's built similar to JBJ, athletic, strong. We can then trade for a big bat using a regular as a chip.
-
I haven't missedPedroia
-
Anybody miss Dustin?
-
We had a 6-5 high school shortstop couple of years ago. Kids are bigger today. Except for Red Sox. We like little fielders and tall pitchers.
-
Will's swing never looked like Devers.
-
I got a news for you. Reed will pitch the 8th inning regardless of who is coming to bat.
-
I'm pretty sure both Carson Smith and Addison Reed can get left handers out as well as Abad.
-
This....... I remember Michael Jordan.
-
Playing the percentages, you are better off trading anyone outside of top 5. Henry Owens and Blake Swihart comes to mind. Now there's really no market for those two, granted for different reasons. Devers was a keeper and now we know why. Groome has a long way to go. I'm just not married to the guy, especially a pitcher. I would still pursue someone like Votto this off season. Some guys age well and I think he'll be one of those. He can always DH and take Hanley's place when his contract runs out. Let's also revisit Stanton. Would Betts, Xander and E Rod do it? Their combined salaries will exceed Stanton's in three years.

Moon, our bullpen could be lights out in couple of more weeks. Addison Reed to be the set up man in 8th. Workman continues to get back to where he was in the playoffs. Carson Smith finally ready to go on a rehab assignment if all goes well. Joe Kelly coming back from DL at some point. That's a solid group. No more wuss Barnes in the 8th inning. We still have Barnes, Hembree, Boyer, and Abad.
-
I really like Nunez....
-
Devers 4-4....he's up there to get a hit....And he didn't cost us a thing!
-
I agree 100%.
-
3-5, two outs, bottom of ninth with runners on 2nd and 3rd, Devers draws a walk. Yeah, he's cool. Betts pops up to end the game. Got a news for you. 3B is not the problem.
-
Barnes is a big pussy....he never looks confident. Not an 8th inning guy.
-
yep, $39M over 3 years for one year of production.
-
Devers with opposite field homer. Sure glad he's not wasting hitting home runs in the minors.
-
You're f***ing *******...put me on your ignore.
-
I'm talking about when he becomes FA....sorry if I didn't make it clear. The point I was making was that from where I sit, I don't see much difference between Nunez and Xander at this point. Yet Xander is already on a higher payroll trajectory. I'm just not sure he's worth it. Maybe it's best to trade him with two years of control.
-
After Yankees won the division in 2012 with a record of 95-67 (Red Sox 26 games behind), they've only made to the Wildcard Game once in 2015. I will give them credit though for having a winning season the last 4 four years despite going through a rebuild situation. I'm not opposed to sitting tight. All I asked was giving Devers a chance. It's obvious minor league people felt he was ready. He looks like a major league player with power. He is only 20 years old after all. His power numbers will pick up. I love JBJ playing CF for us. To me, he's a perfect CF. Athletic with some leverage to hit the balls out. Superior defender. Unless Xander all of the sudden has a power surge, to me he's nothing more than a medicore defensive shortstop that hits well. Nunez is getting $4.2M in his final arbitration year. Xander received $4.5M in his first of three arbitration years. Borass will take no less than $20M. He's just not worth it unless again he becomes 30 HR guy.
-
He DID ask for a bold move....
-
If you want a bold move, you trade Xander, Beni, Groome, Swihart and Travis for Votto. Plug in Lin at SS and Nunez in LF.
-
We need to stick to the financial game plan implemented last winter. Sox assessment of offense was way off. It's July 30th and we don't have Carson Smith and Thornburg, wtf? We need to make a major move this winter. Luxury tax penalty rate will be reset. Change the make up of this team on the offensive side.
-
The Twins have designated veteran left-hander Craig Breslow for assignment, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports Another one of John Farrell's inexplicable love affair with a mediocre baseball player. Currenty he's in love with skills of Holt. Nunez is the utlimate utility player profile. Not Holt. He's a horrible outfielder by the way.

exactly!!!!!
