HuskyCaucasian Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 He's a nice lefty bat to have in the line-up, but... um.... where would he play. He's a first baseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Title changed so that people don't freak. Confirm it a little more and we'll move to Diamond club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 So why do the Red Sox need another 1b? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) So why do the Red Sox need another 1b? Lowell might be out for the year, so they'll move Youkilis to 3rd base. I hate watching LaRoche hit, so I'm very happy the White Sox didn't get him.

If our backup first baseman is just gonna swing for the fences and strike out a lot, I would much rather have it be Fields instead of LaRoche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Pirates get back Argenis Diaz and Hunter Strickland. According to Balder and Goldstein the BoSox didn't give up much (nor should they of for 2 months of LaRoche). Diaz is a plus defender with no bat and Strickland was a projectable arm two years ago with a low 90's FB that hasn't been able to turn the corner.

chw42 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 12:16 PM) Andy LaRoche must be pissed. At least Andy hasn't sucked as much as his brother this year. Now there won't be any more LaRoche confusion on the Pirates. I really don't know if this move to Boston will help LaRoche that much. He does get to hit in a better lineup, but it'll probably in the 7th or 8th spot. Plus, Fenway doesn't exactly favor left handed bats as much as right handed ones.

It depends on the kind of hitter they are. Line drives off the monster from a LH batter are a great way to make a living, and that's still a really short fence in RF.
