Danny you are definitely in the majority on this .I acknowledge Charlie B has warts the size of hubcaps on his home away splits .I may be an idiot to think Fenway maybe really kind to his bat who knows ? I don't know how to do overlays of different parks so it's pure wish casting .
Dewey I'm thinking about the future with this aquisition not the present as you pointed out ,It would mean offloading our top 3 prospects and a player like Marco .I think I would do it for this player and hope like heck JDM decides to opt out lol
Charlie Blackmon ? He's on the block .I would love to see Mookie Jackie and Charlie play together THREE center fielders .Charlie would be insurance if Mookie left .
This is all conjecture on my part with the new balls but here's what I remember when I pitched from my coach .FB is the most devastating pitch there is when located .Meaning a pitcher can't just throw a ball fast to be successful hell Hanson would have been a HOFer if that was the case .Movement in the zone is created mostly by pressure on an inward or outer seam at the point of both a high conventional release or even the 3 quarter .The truth is it's not taught anylonger .Pedro Martinez at his pinnacle was a master a amotzart as you will at coloring inside the zone .Pedey would pinch the inner half hard if wanted to dot Derek Jeters ass or he would lighten up to create late movement .I see none of this and think Dana is not effective in teaching nuances.
Yeah I might get flamed for going the other way on what has been a lost year of Benny .I just can't weaken the D at this point unless there is someone of equal value Coming back .Thats my position with Benny And JBJ for now .
