    I guess it depends what the rest of the team looks like, but with so many holes to fill probably not. The Red Sox have though relied on the DH for production for quite a few years though.
  2. Old Red
    I agree, but now you’ve got all these expiring contracts, and aren’t going to get much, or anything for them when they go out the door except salary relief, which I guess is something.
  3. Old Red
    And it’s going to take a pile of money to put Humpty Dumpty back together again is it not?
  4. Old Red
    I was as long as JD was still on the team, because I thought they could get 1 more productive year out of him, so yes I was wrong on that,but didn’t you say Schwaber would have been to much money for what he signed for with Philly?

    I’m not trying to change your mind, but I think you’re trying to change mine. We disagree, and that is not going to change. I get all the points made about Kike, but I just don’t see it as you, and others do.

    There were all these expiring contracts, because Bloom in his 3 years on the job let it get to this point. Yes I know DD signed the contracts, but couldn’t Bloom have done something like a trade, or two to alleviate the problem? I haven’t criticized Bloom, because I didn’t want no part of a fire sale, because the Sox were still in contention, and felt they owed the paying customers to still put their best players on the field.

    Fire sale, fire sale. There was talk about having a fire sale before this season even started by some on here, because that to some I think would be more entertaining to be bad, so a fire sale could commence instead of having a year like last year.
  8. Old Red
    We’ve gone over this 100 times too. To me Kike is a good utility guy, who is good at different positions, but plays full time for the Red Sox, because they have NO ONE better. If Duran had worked out in CF do you think Kike would have been resigned for $10M? Once again I’m not saying Kike is bad, but I certainly don’t rate him as highly as you. We disagree, and there is nothing wrong with that.
  9. Old Red
    You are the stat guy, and I’m sure if you really wanted to find one, or some you could, but seeing it’s Kike you wouldn’t even try, and that’s all right to.
  10. Old Red
    You interpret as not rating Kike as highly as some of you as having it in for him. I don’t think he had the best year on D for a CF I have ever seen a Red Sox CF have like Moon, and I don’t think he is any kind of playoff hero like others have, and I have said he’s a good defensive CF, whom I didn’t think was worth $10M, so if that to you is having it in for a guy then so be it, and I’m guilty. Either way my opinion has, and will not change.
  11. Old Red
    So why are you counting a non legit contract offer now?
  12. Old Red
    What did you say about the Bogey offer when it was first made before the season even started?
  13. Old Red
    Still the same point that to me there just has to be someone out there who is better than Kike that you could get for $10M, or less. If not then MLB is in bad shape.
  14. Old Red
    Now you know I don’t know what any of that means, but to you he’s good, and I just disagree. Different opinions, and neither is going to change. We disagree, and that’s fine with me.
  15. Old Red
    Then why would you sign someone for $10M if he wasn’t the best option out there? I guess I’m just stuck on that point.
  16. Old Red
    I would have let him walk to find out just like I would have Vaz, and JD, and Evol. I’m still stuck on this Kike is the best available player out there for $10M.
  17. Old Red
    So said how good Kike was last year, but he has sucked this year from Day 1, and yes before he was hurt, and he has sucked since he’s been back, and you want to give him a raise?
  18. Old Red
    All I’m saying he’s not worth $10 M, and that’s just my opinion. You have a different opinion, so we disagree.
  19. Old Red
    I never said he wasn’t a good fielding CF, but I just can’t believe he is the best available player out there in all of baseball for $10M, or less.
  20. Old Red
    So Kike was dumpster diving when they signed him in the first place?
  21. Old Red
    No Kike was not overpaid last ear, but was he overpaid this year? I’m not against bringing Kike back, but I think $10M is to much money when there will be lots of holes to plug with the money they have to spend, and lord forbid we don’t want JH to pay anymore of that dreaded tax.
  22. Old Red
    Why you only limiting it to FA OF? I said all of baseball.
  23. Old Red
    Kike sucked from day 1 this year, and before, and after he was injured. Jd was pretty good last year too, but not so much this year.
  24. Old Red
    I know you have, but I Huss others haven’t.
  25. Old Red
    Imagine that in all of baseball there is no one out there that the Red Sox could have gotten for $10M, or less that would be better than Kike.Wow!
