GGajewski18 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Not sure I understand what Boston's strategy is right now. They're very confusing. EE would be a perfect replacement for Papi & they need starting pitching. But all rumors seem to be them not really doing anything this offseason. Bizarre. They'll get used to 1st round exits in the playoffs then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 04:02 PM) Where are you sticking Gattis/McCann on the day they don't catch? Just sitting them? If the plan is for Beltran to DH, I guess they could both see at bats at first and Gattis occasionally in left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) If they have Altuve, Correra and Bregman to his right I'm sure his bat would be just fine...add in Springer's power from CF and anybody's bat can play at 1st. I think right now their biggest question could be LF. Are they content with an Aoki/Gattis split there? Beltran can't play LF much anymore and Gattis hasn't really played 1B much in his career. I honestly think signing a true C would be their best bet. C- Weiters/McCann/Gattis 1B- Mcann/Gurriell 2B- Altuve SS- Correra 3B- Bregman/Gurriell LF- Gurriell/Aoki/Gattis CF- Springer RF- Reddick DH- Beltran/Gattis Wouldn't want to face that lineup...if I'm their GM I'm moving AJ Reed, Paulino, and Martes for the best SP I could get and not messing with those hitters. They signed Weiters too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) They signed Weiters too? I think that is the posters recommendation per his last sentence to acquire a true C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) They signed Weiters too? No that was just me rambling about what I think they should do lol. Will be interesting to see what they do with their roster though. Basically what I was getting at was Bregman might not be so available unless the Astros like the Aoki/Gattis combo more than they should.
