Moan4Yoan Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 10 minutes ago, TheBlackSox8 said: I'm thinking of this as a Scott Podsednik type move, where it allows you to go buy higher quality at 2nd/3rd/pitching. Say the Sox sign Rendon, and move Moncada back to 2nd...no need to worry about a lefty OF with Mazara. All there would be is pitching. Teams that acquire guys like Mazara as their starting right fielder aren’t paying $200+ million for Rendon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line I think Sox are going to make a handful of more moves so the team has more depth and quality players, with a couple keys to Sox next steps being Lucas, Moncada, and Timmy Anderson backing up and building on last years break-out performances while Lopez & Cease take more steps forward and Kopech / Robert (and a lesser extent Madrigal & Vaughn) ideally explode on to the scene.

If you are going to flip Mazara, then see how badly the Marlins wanted him and try to offer a package with Mazara for Caleb Smith, or to the Tigers for Mathew Boyd. I'm not totally sure why the Red Sox would want Mazara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Mazara has that much value that a team would be demanding him in a deal (and if it was, it would be a bigger deal and we'd hear about a 3 team deal already, imo). This was the Sox buying a guy they think has LT upside, while also increasing their depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty22hotty Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Any chance he gets optioned to start the season so the Sox can get an extra year out of him? His stats would justify it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is a serious suggestion but, assuming Robert does not get extended, the start of the season is when we'd need him most since we'll be down a competent outfielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 One thing I will enjoy with Mazara out there is his arm. Dude has a very good arm. Not much on range, but the arm is damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn’t do much worse if you tried.

AB stinks at defense too and has a worse arm. Less power than Mazara. He does have better on base skills and has had a 4 win season but outside of that he’s been just an average hitter. Also his hard hit% and exit velo are below avg. he’s better but not that much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting gamble based on his age and gap power. If he can somehow improve his barrel % and his launch angle... could be a homerun. Alot of ifs... but definitely not impossible.
