You were done before, and went into hibernation, which is where you did your best work.
-
But at the time Swihart played LF, and Holt was in RF they had run out of options.
-
Was you around Portland at the time Mookie got moved to the OF?
-
Like I said earlier you made more sense when you were in hibernation.
-
Why was Swihart, and Brock Holt tried in the OF?
-
No doubt that starting pitchers meant more back in the day. Starting pitchers used to be as big of a name as the sluggers, and didn’t need nearly as much help as they need today from the BP.
-
All kinds of pitching stats can be skewed for a number of reasons. BP, and closers too.
-
Pedroia at 2B might have helped the decision, but if there wasn’t a big need in the OF at that time the move might not have been made.
-
Thanks for filling me in, and setting me straight.
-
I’ll repeat that the Red Sox had OF problems at the time, and that was the MAIN reason. Swihart, and Brock Holt being tried out there should have told you that. There just wasn’t a need, but a BIG need.
-
That trade that Notin was all for turned into a head scratching discussion for more than a day on here.
-
163 is what he hit in Milwaukee, and you was making excuses for him like facing different pitchers in different parks, and you was all for the trade, so I don’t think 163 would be classified as fat in JBJ’s case, but that’s where you took it, and for what purpose?
-
Mookie wasn’t moved to the OF, which happed when he was in Portland at the time, because of Pedroia, but because for some reason the Red Sox were having trouble of producing OF at that time. Swihart got tried in the OF, and Brock Holt got put in the OF who hadn’t played there before, so that’s wrong on the Pedroia angle. You are way off base on this one.
-
I was just throwing Mazeroski’s name out there. I could have said Chuck Schilling, Mike Andrew’s, Jerry Adair, Denny Doyle, or even the Rooster who moved to 2B.
-
He also sucked at SS.
-
That’s why the Braves were trying him in the OF.
-
For a guy who couldn’t hit his weight.
-
Tek in?
-
What about the report that said Grissom was 68 out of 74 in 2B with 350 innings played on some D stat?
-
Pooh, poohing a HOF? Wow!
-
Especially if he had a chance to trade Sale, and his full salary, and didn’t do it.
-
Grissom wasn’t in their plans anyway. Maybe, maybe, maybe, and if, if, if.
-
I was talking more about D, but good stat.
-
I think to many took Tom saying full throttle as going out, and signing any combination of Yam Man, Snell, or Monty. It’s always speculative on here the Red Sox are going to spend up to the CBT. I know they got up there at the end of 2022, but probably more accidental than anything, and definitely not productive.
-
Saying the Red Sox paid in my opinion to much money to the Braves shouldn’t have ignited anything in the first place, but on here it did. It didn’t anywhere else.
