I think you guys are over estimating what Bradley brings to the table. His bat is terrible. He is literally frozen stiff by anything pitched inside. He will regress to a late inning defensive replacement type guy! Putrid hitter.
-
You graduated from the university of Mexico City? Is it true the diplomas from there are written with invisible ink?
-
Duran brings a dynamic sorely missing on our roster, pure speed. Given that Bradley can not hit beach balls, let alone base balls anymore, and will be used as a late inning defensive replacement only by June, my guess is Duran needs to be on the 26 and has a chance to be playing regularly by June!

Every day arroyo gets out of bed without injuring himself is a miracle unto itself! The guy bruises easier than bananas.

I am a big fan of hickey and binelas. The kid from nc state looked really good as well late last season!

I agree that dalbec should have a sophomore leap and I think he can get to .575. Bogey should be killing it from day 1, as he can make a fortune if he kills it this year. Look for his numbers to be better then last year all the way around! Bradley is a huge defensive improvement over Renfro in right field, but his bat his really bad. He is so afraid of pitches on the inside part of the plate, that it has locked up his ability to hit. Hernandez, I agree should be better this year after having seen the league last year. Arroyo, Shaw and Duran, I don’t know that we can count on them for much of anything this year. Cassas is a wild card. He probably will not hit for power, but he will get on base and drive in runs. When does make his debut in Fenway? Can dalbec and arroyo split time at second base when cassas does arrive? Not mentioned, but very important is what kind of regression do we see from Martinez. His bat speed fell off a noticeable bit last year and that will continue this year!

Triple team is going to be monster!
-
If dalbec has a sophomore leap, theoretically he could pick up some of the slack caused by the loss of monster bat schwarber and mediocre bat Renfro. How does this lineup replace the rest of the missing production?
-
Hope is never a good strategy! Offensively, we lost a monster bat in schwarber and a mediocre bat in Renfro. We have added a superior defender, but a terrible bat, in Bradley. Bradley is an “0 for” hitter. Zero hits for almost every at bat. We desperately need another strong infield right handed hitter to balance this line up.
-
I would take either one in a heartbeat, but would prefer Correa. I know that if we sign Correa or story,, bogey would have to move to second base, and while bogey might not like it, the fact remains, bogey literally has hundreds of millions of reasons to have the best possible year he can this year.

Red Sox focus now shifted to SS Trevor Story

My apologies! The spell check got me again. -
From your finger tips to Hang’em Chaim’s ears…. Please welcome Derek Holland to the team! Now the Yankees, rays and blue jays will know fear!
-
That is the truth! If you go out to Honolulu, those guys love spam. As Eli manning would say, “ they put that crap on everything.” Just another reason that state is loaded with issues and needs to be some to Japan!

For the record, I am not in favor for trading bogey or devers! -
Derek Holland to the rescue. Not sure what he has left in the tank, but if he can help bridge us to sale’s return, then his signing makes sense!
-
Isn’t plan b = soler?
-
Very sad!
-
We already have Bradley on the roster, how many truly bad bats is Hang’em Chaim allowed on a roster!
-
Hang’em Chaim facing some really tall odds!
-
I believe there is a method to his passiveness, Hang’em Chaim will come through! Trust the process.
-
Didn’t the twins trade for infielder alfalfa earlier in the day or yesterday? This trade must have been brewing for a bit.
-
Isn’t maximizing revenue and ebitda the goal? As a business owner, it is what I get up for every morning.
-
Hang’em Chaim is rebuilding the farm system to help eliminate the occasional dips and keep us annually winning.

You are the boldest poster in the board!

Not sure it is relevant, but Barnes was lights out from April to June when the spin rate on the 4 seamer was around 2400 plus, But by July it was down to around 2100 plus. I see two things: 1.) Barnes got over used and his arm went dead. 2.) Barnes sustained an injury and kept his mouth shut. Whatever happened is unknown, but we should know fairly early in the season how he is throwing.
