  1. thank god the astros lineup is not that great in the bottom half right now.
  2. agree. The mariners game felt rushed last night on radio. rick rizzs could barely even get a breath in.
  3. I hate to say it but the games are almost going too fast.
  4. Nice, good job making him pay. He hasn't made very many good pitches. Leaving a lot of stuff up.
  5. How does Eloy even see the ball with his stance? Can't be helping.
  6. I'm fine with it. It's not like there's some huge difference between Vaughn and Sheets right now. If AV proves himself a great hitter things will change.
  7. I think my Avi comp is pretty good, looks like Tarzan, hits like Jane. Different batted ball profiles but similar results. Similar to Avi it was assumed Kelenic could handle CF as a prospect but quickly turned into only a corner player at the MLB level. Avi put together a few decent seasons (like 2.5 WAR) but otherwise was basically a 1 WAR true talent type. Not being a real CF hurts both guys quite a bit in value.
  8. I mean I agree, if we're going to have success we need our stars to play often and well. We need Grandal's bat in the lineup as much as his body can handle.
  9. too small of a sample really. that said, for whatever reason the Sox seem to have done a pretty good job finding backup catchers recently. it's been the least of our concerns. Zeby had a 108 OPS+ last year in 200 or so PA, do that again please.
  10. Agree, so he needs to catch about 100 and then DH/1B 20. Just get him in the lineup when possible.
  11. We need to run our guys into the ground if they are ready. 120 games for Grandal, 140 for Vaughn, etc. Get the training staff ready. No more sunday lineups three times a week TLR style.
  12. yea was noted last night to me as well. I guess only zavala and sheets are minor upgrades over grandal and vaughn. not even worth bothering with really. I feel like the roster is just better this year the big thing is Eloy at DH. Also, Jose looked terrible last night. He might be ready to go over the Konerko cliff. It looks like he sacrificed a lot of muscle in the offseason to get thinner. We'll see how he does. Not rooting against him but it would be nice if for once the Sox made a good decision and let some other team overpay a vet.
