I rather have him learn to play 1B and put Hanley at DH. I think Swihart and Beni are similar players. He will be a super 2 arbitration player with 5 more years of team control. I'd keep him too. We need to save money whenever we can. You do that by playing potential big bats, big league players such as Beni, Moncada and Swihart.
-
We have him for another six freaking years.....he's a keeper. Do not trade Beni.

I'm pretty content with the team....needs tweaking DD will quickly get the bullpen situation settled...FA signings (no big names)/trades I can still see EE signing....that's just how DD rolls and I won't be suprised Pablo will get a shot in spring training...at some point, it's on Pablo isn't it? Does he have any pride left or will he just be content collecting money and getting fat? Shaw needs to quit whining and get his bat going.....they are not going to give it to him...he has to earn it. DD needs to tell Swihart, what he wants from him Benintendi should not be platooned.... Anxious to see Wright pitch again I hope Clay is our 6th man and we don't need him.. It's a good time to be a Sox fan

You must have extra long left index finger...lol

Moon projected $21.85 on his 9 arb players (see page 1...Abad and Holaday not included)....It turned out to be $22.7......that's pretty damn good Moon.

Projected Arbitration Numbers per MLBtraderumors Red Sox (11) Fernando Abad (5.073) – $2.0MM Robbie Ross Jr. (4.100) – $1.8MM Joe Kelly (4.029) – $2.6MM Drew Pomeranz (4.013) – $4.7MM Josh Rutledge (3.090) – $1.0MM Brock Holt (3.052) – $1.7MM Xander Bogaerts (3.042) – $5.7MM Bryan Holaday (3.025) – $900K Brandon Workman (3.018) – $600K Jackie Bradley Jr. (2.150) – $3.3MM Sandy Leon (2.149) – $1.3MM jake arietta up to $16.8M in his final arbitration year....he'll be expensive next winter.
-
come on Moon....we can fix our pen without declaring national disaster..... Aren't you the one that suggested no top of the line closer would come to the Sox with Kimbrel already on board?
-
No trade talk......lets' just sign EE and call it a day....we lose what? 27th pick?
-
Can we get Q without trading away Moncada?
-
It hasn't gone up in last 3 years is because the last contract with Players Union was good for 3 years....not being a dick...just a fyi
-
I think the qualifying offer is up over $17M.....last year for the first time we had players accept the QO. I think you'll see more of that...

Sox are also in great shape. Betts 2017 2018 2019 2020 Bradley Jr 2017 2018 2019 2020 Benitendi 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Bogaerts 2017 2018 2019 Pedey 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Ramirez 2017 2018 2019 Swihart 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Shaw 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Vazquez 2017 2018 2019 2020 Moncada 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Pablo 2017 2018 2019 Price 2017 2018 2019-2022 if not opt out Rodriguez 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Wright 2017 2018 2019 2020 Porcello 2017 2018 2019 Pomeranz 2017 2018 Kelly 2017 2018 Kimbrel 2017 2018 Ross Jr 2017 2018 Hembree 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 R Scott 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Holt 2017 2018 Sandy 2017 2018 2019 Carson S 2017 2018 2019 2020 Clay B 2017? That's pretty good nucleus to move forward with.....

I suppose if we can repeat as a division champ and retain all of our high end prospects, then we'll have a better idea as to next course of action a year from now. Benintendi becomes a full time regular LF Moncada slides into 3B sometime in June. Swihart becomes either a starting catcher or super utility player. Able to play any position other than SS/2B. Kopech makes major league debut as a reliever in August/Septmeber. Johnson becomes a bona fide major league pitcher, Clay B is traded for a young, controllable reliever in July. To be continued
-
We probably have a good enough team to repeat. I guess the ultimate question is what if our starters fail again in 2017, in the playoffs? Would that be the time to make a major trade for the front of the rotation type guy, maybe giving up a star in making position player? Or will we be lamenting the fact that we did not making a push this winter?
-
You give absolutely no credit for increase in attendance during his tenure in Detroit.....look up the correlation between winning and attendance. By your definition, Red Sox was a major failure for all of 20th century. Apparently we spent 100 years building for the future, 2004.
-
Exactly. What a bunch of hypocrites...Sox fans dissing 4 consecutive Division titles? you can't win the big one without first getting into the playoffs....increase in attendance=increase in revenue....what the f***? you numb nuts think Henry is in this to win a f***ing trophy? winning=increase in attendance, tv revenue=value of franchise goes up. If I'm buying the Tigers, it's important for me to know that 3M+ attendance is achievable. It's an investment. I'm little surprised at some of you esteemed posters.
-
Or Imagine if we had a GM that brought 4 straight Division titles and more importantly drew 2M+ fans for 11 straight year, 4 of those 3M+. Apparently the fans enjoyed DD acquisitions. He owes no apology.
-
No point in Sox taking the risk....typically that's what we do....roll the dice and lose (because odds are against us)
-
Please stop! Lets talk about the babe ruth trade.
-
JBJ is definitely a keeper...but Xander will become FA AFTER 2019 season (3 yrs of arbitration coming up); Betts will become FA after 2020 season. JBJ will becomie FA after 2020 season but unlike Betts, he will have 4 yeas of arbitration beginning next year. Rick Porcello will also become FA after 2019 season. I'm not sure if the Sox can sign all of them. Both Hanley and Pablo will come off the books after 2019 season.
-
I never understood why we didn't try to re-sign Beltre. He was the consummate baseball professional. Victor Martinez too. When can we start signing international players? July 1st?
-
This is why I don't see DD making a play for White Sox pitchers. Now if they come to us with a reasonable player requests, then you'd have to listen. Even solidifying our bullpen looks not to be daunting as originally looked. We are in much better shape than last winter.
-
http://boston.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/10/21/building-red-sox-bullpen-on-the-cheap-for-2017/ Here's a thought on how Sox can come up with a serviceable pen in 2017.
-
Sox should be open to all options....the goal is to put 9 best players on the field, no? It maybe that we have 9 position players for 8 spots. DH could be handled by a committee at that point. Do I think that will happen? Probably not because DD in my opinion will take long hard look at EE. What we think really doesn't matter. We have fun with it. I try to listen carefully to what the management says and that's my starting point. I get the sense that Sox FO is pretty content with the starting rotation going into winter trades. Picking up the club option for Clay B appears certain based on what I've read so far. I just don't want to give up E Rod at this point in any trade proposals. FO does seem to be talking up Pablo's health. Are they talking themselves into thinking he can start at 3B? I just don't see it.

Nope it's about Bogey + Moncada > Bogey + Iggy
