BackDoorBreach Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I also want to throw out his 5.8 fWAR the last 2 years, playing on a field as big as Rikers Island 75% of it. But some think it's a better idea to stand pat with Mazara, a legitimate non-tender candidate. NO, I SAY NO! Give BDN the JerryBux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRS hes -67 (3rd worst in baseball) Uzr/150 hes -7.4 (4th worst) Arm is -9.2 (if he qualified that would be the 2nd worst) Runs over replacement -18.7 (among outfielders that's 6th worst behind all the DH's I listed and 80 year old Melky Cabrera.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Plus I'll be super upset when micker hits 45 Homer's this year with arm velocity of 105 from the outfield and we have no where to put him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That too! Love me some Micker. I think off all our prospects sans Robert, he has the highest upside. If he can stay healthy, he’s talented enough to be a top 25 type prospect a year from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Mazara OUTFIELD Fielding percentage 4 seasons = .989 Castallanos OUTFIELD fielding percentage 4 seasons = .990 Don't mix in Castellanos defensive infield stats. Also, Castellanos got better as he learned to play outfield and when he played in a smaller park. Ask any Cub fan. Most want him back badly. Meanwhile, Nick would be an incredible get for Hahn. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to make errors when you can't get to the ball. Cubs fans will take absolutely anything at this point.

steveno89 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I do not love the Castellanos fit for the Sox, unless the cost is really reasonable His best value would be at DH due to how poor his defense grades out in RF. I'd rather go one year with Encarnacion and evaluate next offseason than buckle up to Castellanos for three to four seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saving RF for him, I’m saving it for the next FA class and rolling with Mazara for 2020. If Micker blows up the meantime, that’s fantastic.

thxfrthmmrs Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I see we’re trying to get out in front of any bad PR from a failed Betts signing next offseason by locking up an RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Boston will do what it has to to sign Mookie. He is a generational talent that Boston will not let go. He should not even be in the conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centerfieldsixers Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Castellenos is a Boras client. He makes a market when there is none. chances are we would overpay for him. Do we want to do that when we are allegedly negotiatiang a 80+ million dollar contract on a player yet to play in the bigs? I think this is b.s. on Sox side.

TaylorStSox Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 2020 Steamer projections: Nick Castellanos - 1.5 WAR Nomar Mazara - 1.4 WAR I'll pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarava Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This definitely intrigues me. I know his defensive numbers improved last year. I'm not sure where that puts him right now, or if there's room to improve still given his relative lack of experience in the outfield. If his market has fallen off and they can get him on a great deal, then awesome. If he's willing to be a primary DH, then even better. I think he's become a more dangerous hitter the last year or two, and hopefully he can continue or I'm prove upon that. I think he would be a huge get for the Sox lineup.

tsak31 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Whoever DHs whether it is another signing or already in-house option (McCann, Collins, Etc.), this lineup has player improvements in 5 of 9 positions (Grandal, Mazara, Madrigal, Robert, whoever DHs). Add to that another year for Moncada and Eloy to mature, the returning AL batting champ, and our veteran leader/all-star first baseman. Nice!
