    Good D at 3B does not overcome WORST OPS in minors last year. It's still hard for me to believe Devers can do worse than Marrero.

    I'm with Kimmi....ultimately she's the most rational poster here

    Plus Betts offensively has not maxed out this year. He'll get hot and carry us for few weeks. And not sure what to make of Hanley. I'm guessing he's 'hurt' more than we know. Just my guess. He has incentive to play to secure 2019 contract. Something is off.

    If the team has no intention of utilizing Devers this year then we need a 3B. It's not fair for others to play along side a black hole. How much of an upgrade is Gray over Sale/Price/Porcello/E Rod/Pom? Who sits if everyone is healthy? Did we not pick up depth when we added Fister?
  6. Nick
    Good stuff Moon. Arbitration raises are getting to be a big component for us. I guess it's a price you pay for having young talent. But it's still better than paying 'full' price.
  7. Nick
    You can't just lump all of them together. Beni is under team control for 3 years after Xander becomes free agent. 2019 Pom, Kimbrel (assuming we pick up his option for 18) 2020 Porcello, Sale and Xander 2021 JBJ, Betts 2022 E Rod 2023 Benintendi I'm not going to worry about Beni just yet (Jesus we have five years of control after this year) I would let Porcello go. I might even trade him before 2020. I would sign Pom. My guess is DD will too. I would sign bothe Sale and E Rod. You must have starting pitching.

    Suppose Devers come out of ST to be our full time 3B. He struggles early. He gets demoted. Is he finished? Is his career over? Is Moncada's career over? No. So what's the difference between now, September or April 2018 call up? Do you honestly believe another 200 bats will be a big difference maker? He can't do any better than Marrero? The guy with WORST OPS in the minors last year? I just don't understand the logic.

    Lin

    Nick replied to Dalas21000's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk

    Devers may surprise the management. It baffles me that they will look under every rock for a starting pitcher but they settle for a guy with the WORST minor league OPS at 3B. Unless DD intends to trade Devers and does not want him 'exposed' to other teams at the major league level there's NO downside in trying him at 3B.
  10. Nick
    Betts, Pewee, Xander combined 0-12.....PATHETIC Why does Betts gets a pass on being criticized? He hasn't done jack last two months.
  11. Nick
    Lin made couple of nice plays at 3B.....I can't believe we were duped into thinking Pablo can come back.....lol I'd like to see him start in front of Marrero......how can he be any worse?
  12. Nick
    Betts, Pee Wee and Xander 0-9......they've sucked today. Take away his 2 4 hit games, Betts is 16-80 in June...May was even worse. And people think he's a MVP candidate? yeah right.
  13. Nick
    Nice way to throw away an inning.....that's on Farrell for hit and run.
  14. Nick
    A f***ing hit and run with our .153 hitter, with no out on first pitch? Are we that stupid? WHAT THE f***?
  15. Nick
    36 pitches through 4 innings...maybe we need to look at more pitches
  16. Nick
    why don't we have someone leading off that can get on base?
  17. Nick
    We got bunch of over hyped singles hitters....
  18. Nick
    Good offense......can we get a power bat? bunch of singles hitters that needs 3 hits to score.
  19. Nick
    Our hitters are cure for whatever ails mediocre pitchers.....Do we really want to pay Betts $30M per year?
  20. Nick
    I think Kimbrel decision should be a closed topic by now. What if fictional Sox closer had blown few saves this year? Fans would be screaming. We don't win the Division without Kimbrel this year. Loved the Sale trade, would do it every time. What's incredible is that we did in a roundabout way 'saved' some of $60M we spent to sign Moncada by getting a discount (read lower Sale's SALARY). I'm sure Henry is pleased.
  21. Nick
    Doesn't Moon also have to account for the draft pick we would have lost had the Sox signed Kimbrel as a FA? So it's not FA money plus prospectS. It's prospects less first round pick, no?
  22. Nick
    At least it's not a $9M guaranteed contract with another $4M in incentives....Masterson? We piss away money like my teenage daughter. She actually told me to go to a bank machine when I told her I didn't have any money. I think she was 6 at the time. Ben got two credit cards and maxed out both in couple of days.
  23. Nick
    They were less concerned about him throwing off the mound than being able to run and making cuts. What if he has to cover a bunt and make a quick pivot on a throw to first...that sort of things.
  24. Nick
    To me, Hanley looks to be hurt. I hope the Sox hang on to Travis. Let him play 1B and give Moreland some rest at DH. I like that combo.

    Best post of 2017, so far.
