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!!!!!
-
How much cash did we get from the Dodgers? Enough to pay for Henry's lunch?
-
I agree fully on Shaw. What people forget was the we had both Moncada and Devers in our future plans.
-
Shaw trade was bad because the entire FO misread the Pablo situation. Say what you will, they were trying to recoup some of that $95M. What if Thornburg was pitching the way he did last year? But Shaw was inadequate at 3B last year. I'll need to see what type of adjustments NL pitchers will make to Shaw before I'm convinced he is better than what the stats indicated in 2016.
-
Maybe Hanley is hurt. But his power is down. Yeah he still hits hard balls but he drives them into ground. We need to rethink the construction of this team. Trade out some of the pieces for more power. It's unrealistic to think everyone 1-9 having good averages. It's just tough to string together three hits to score a run.
-
I'm just opposed to 'extending' players before contract expires. Pay them what they are worth. Find out what the market is willing to pay. With $200M, we should get our share of good players. What if 2016 was their best year? Not saying it is. I'd like to think it was the floor for many of our young players. No need to rush to extend Betts. Pay him what he's worth when he becomes a free agent. There aren't that many Chris Sale type contracts out there.
-
Ziegler signed a 2 year, $16M contract. He's given up 24 runs, 40 hits in 29 innings. Tazawa signed a 2 year, $12M contract. Tazawa got off to shaky start and supports a 5.28 ERA. Koji inked a one year $6M deal. He looks to be little more than average. I AM FREAKING GLAD THAT WE PASSED ON ALL THREE. We dodged a bullett not having $34M tied up to at best mediocre trio.
-
He's DH'd and playing 2nd. Was suppose to play SS but Pedroia was a last minute scratch. I heard he was writing an apology note to Eck.
-
Where are all the freaking idiots not wanting to simply try out Devers? He may get sent down between now and whenever, BUT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON NOT TO BRING HIM UP. He looks more mentally tough than Xander ever will be.
-
And we want to extend this clown for $20+M? lol
-
Ben was selfless. Ultimate team player. Insisted on building for future and kept the farm in tact. He knew he may lose his job over it but he did what was best for the future of Red Sox organization. How is that?
-
Our window of opportunity has not changed. We should be adding pieces not selling off. One thing is clear though, you can't fall in love with guys simply because they came up through the system. I'm perfectly happy with Chris Sale. He didn't grow up in our system. We were talking about extending Xander and Betts this spring. Be careful. Baseball is a game where success is measured by minimizing failures (you are applauded for hitting .300 but you fail 7 out of 10 time). It's easier to bet on losing than winning. Power matters in today's game. We can't ignore it. This can't be a team full of singles hitters. Your run production will suffer.
-
We have Sale Day. It's No Run Day when Porcello pitches.
-
Thank God we get to watch two new players at the plate tonight. Instead of watching same color paint dry, we now have different paint color.
-
sick of watching big puss, Xander. God we suck. And some of you want to extend this guy?
