    he (hickey) doesnt have the ops to play 1b and is a borderline prospect at this point, to me
  2. drewski6
    Id eat a crabcake right now
  3. drewski6
    well, maybe he needs to trade one of those gloves for an oven mitt and whip us up some stroganoff
  4. drewski6
    what you making/ordering us for dinner tonight?
  5. drewski6
    Maybe its me, but I find Casas to be a streakier bat than even Yoshida.
  6. drewski6
    Im not even sure theres such a thing as a second baseman anymore.
  7. drewski6
    they are not rigidly slating one starter/position, they are keeping versatility and prioritizing flexibility.
  8. drewski6
    This was better than the argument I was going to come up with that its fine, so Ill just hop on this. Its fine. Its all fine.
  9. drewski6
    some most guys can play multiple positions and be fine.
  10. drewski6
    Or Devers pushes Bregman to 2b
  11. drewski6
    You are allowed to play multiple positions, and its the way the league is trending. There are articles everywhere about it.
  12. drewski6
    this isnt directed at you because I know you understand but - its good to have options and flexibility.
  13. drewski6
    .940 OPS, 166 OPS+
  14. drewski6
    And you think that playing Breg at 3b vs 2b is the difference between .574 and .393? And also I said hard, not impossible.
  15. drewski6
    I agree and dont forget , they went out and made hugely impactful changes to the mlbpa because it just made too much sense to keep someone back as long as possible (so you have them cheap through their prime years). If it made sense to rush call-ups, they wouldnt have had to add the draft pick rewards for calling up prospects before you absolutely have to. People just want to see the youth

    The italicized part cant be undone. I dont disagree with the idea, just the urgency of it. SOrry to sound like a broken record but wait and see.
  17. drewski6
    Similarly , starting the season with Bregman at 2b isnt the end of the world either. Not implying its ideal or how it will certainly go down. Its quite hard to ruin the season in April (injuries aside)
  18. drewski6
    Good points, but Im would add one big caveat to this and that is (to your entire well thought out post): * *at this point in time One of my things is flexibility and not making decisions before you have to. We simply dont know how Casas will look coming off that weird injury, how Devers shoulder will behave, if Campbell complicates by forcing his way into the infield, how far we go next year. What if we get to the ALCS and lose and we prove to be close despite carrying Casas all year who never fully re-found his groove (not saying this is anything more than one of many possibilities). Can it happen? Short answer is yes. Will it happen? Short answer is maybe. Should it happen? short answer is things will change between now and the time when its time to make this decision, and any opinions we have on it now will be dated by then
  19. drewski6
    I think hes a solid #4 when healthy and I think its a loss. Not an insurmountable loss, but how many starters do we use in a given year? 10? It hurts the depth.
  20. drewski6
    Not to take away from this post, but that didnt seem hard to make the counter point.
  21. drewski6
    Isnt Fogel McLovin?
  22. drewski6
    The Red Sox 3rd baseman is TBD. Lot of moving parts, and we need the spring to see if prospects force their way on, Devers health, any other injuries... There is simply no reason to make a final decision right now. My hunch is our 3b next year is going to be Devers some of the time, Bregman some of the time, maybe Christian Campbell some of the time, maybe another dude some of the time. But I think its fluid.
  23. drewski6
    Agreed. I do wish that there was only an opt out after year 2 , but I agree with you that its not a deal breaker or to fret about that he has an opt out after each year
  24. drewski6
    The RS upcoming season feels a lot like "you dont need to be able to outrun a lion, just outrun the other dudes also running from the lion." We dont have to be good, just stink less than the other mediocre teams in the AL (to make the playoffs). From that lens, I can see a good defensive c making an impact, but they shouldnt. Its like joining a league where nobody else knows what they are doing and then just making it into the playoffs. Its like congrats but it shouldnt have been that close.

    If an average C turns out to be our steal of the winter, even factoring in acquisition cost, I have a hard time believing we're finishing higher than third place. I dont think going from Wong to average C moves the needle that much, personally. But the outcome is possible. I think 1 of 3 things happen: 1. Crochet is a cy young candidate 2. We make aggressive in season moves 3. We arent serious contenders (but may sneak into playoffs because I think the AL is painfully weak)
