I have sen a Castro a few times and I think this kid has tremendous bat to ball capabilities
-
I wonder if Miami would be interested in yoshida and verdugo for a pitcher? Then we can move devers, the defensive menace, to DH. I think Chapman is a right handed bat? Duran, Rafeala and abreau is a pretty fast outfield.
-
Or we trade verdugo and Duran and sign Hunter renfoe to a minor league deal snd stash him in Worcester
-
Just cassas, yoshida, and devers as DH types? Basically only cassas has trade value. But he should be considered untouchable
-
I am hopeful verdugo gets traded this offseason. I still think this is our last chance to get trade value for Duran.
-
Who will replace Hang’em Chaim?
-
Which DH types do we have a chance to jettison this offseason.
-
Final game of the year. Abreau with a hit, rbi and walk. I am really hopeful that this kid gets a shot to stick next year in Boston.
-
Turner made himself a lot of money this year. He owes it to himself to seek the best deal he can.
-
Duvall is a free agent. Duran’s trade value is probably at an all time high. Verdugo is an extra left handed bat with trade value. It is easier to trade for an outfielder and stash an AAAA outfield bat at Worcester than any other position. We move verdugo and Duran and see kind of pitching prospect we can get in return
-
Duran, dalbec, and cassas all started slow when they became full time starters, two out of the three figured it out, made the adjustments and contributed. Abreau and Rafeala have earned the right to have that same chance!!! Valdez defense is so bad, I am not sure he is in the same category as them!
-
Pitching. Pitching. Pitching and more pitching should be the offseason priorities! Bello and four days of rain is not a good strategy. Sale breaks down more than a 1978 ford pinto. Pivetta is dr. Heckle and Mr. Hyde! Houck and Whitlock are bullpen only guys
-
Last night, Rafeala scored from third on a dribbler to the pitcher. This is what the kind of excitement and guts he brings to the lineup. I hope he and abreau start the year in Boston next year and verdugo and Duran (sell high) are traded away. We can always sign Hunter Renfro and stash him in Worcester
-
Free agent signings I want to see: 1.) starting pitcher snell - bad peripherals not withstanding 2.) starting pitcher inomega - Japan posting 3.) starting pitcher ryu - risk reward signing 4.) relief pitcher matsui - Japan posting Trade verdugo, Duran and dalbec for a quality relief pitcher or prospects
-
To add injury to insult, Hang’em Chaim assembled some of the worst defensive teams ever. Our infield was leakier than the titanic (post iceberg) bad pitching, terrible defense and good hitting do not win many championships
-
I think you are correct. Our lineup is very left handed. And we have more quality lefties coming up in the farm.
-
That was when Hang’em Chaim was here. One of holtzon, smith or Massey would be a huge drop off from burns
-
Blocked paths for prospects. We have many prospects whose path to Boston is blocked. Dalbec, hickey, meidroth, rosier, a castro, etc. Would Miami take verdugo and dalbec and lui for a pitcher like cabreara?
-
If we all start an internet rumor that burns has a ucl tear and hope and pray that he falls to us in the draft!!!!!
-
Has abreau, Valdez or Rafeala done enough to impress for next season?
-
When you watch how Anthony approaches his at bats and his bat to ball skills, it is easy to see he is bogey special. I see him in Worcester by June 1st. Come September or injuries, he could be Boston by the end of the year. I think he is elite
-
Is this post a snide way of pointing out Hang’em Chaim’s short comings????
-
I think we have some assets teams might be interested in, verdugo, dalbec and Duran. I believe cassas is untouchable! I think we should call Miami and work something out with them. We also might want to call arizona, if we prefer some prospects
-
His swing is too long and too slow. In the last week of the season, it looks like he is starting his swing earlier and able to get the head of the bat through the ball. I do not know if this adjustment translate to fewer strike outs next season, but I think it is a good start
-
This guy could be your right handed bat
