Conor should be hitting second. I don't care if he's left-handed. When you have a guy with a .370 OBP batting 6th and the rest of your lineup sucks, you're doing it wrong.

Gillaspie against lefties: .213/.250/.280. He's rightly sitting today.

Gillaspie vs. LHP .215/.250/.280

I'm not talking about today specifically.

 

I've felt he should be hitting second for a while now.

 

But Robin won't do it because it'll put Eaton and him back to back.

Milone for Fuld....

 

De Aza couldn't be traded for him?

Milone is an extreme flyball pitcher. And if all Beane could get was Fuld, it means a lot of other teams weren't as impressed with Milone as apparently you are.

Gillaspie should be batting 2nd or 4th against RH IMO..

 

Dunn or Alexei should be hitting 6th

Sad state of affairs for the Sox when the team that needed OF help the most traded for Chris Denorfia instead of De Aza or Viciedo.

 

So it looks like the Sox will have 3 non-tenders this off-season.

 

Beckham and Viciedo have been awful this year, so it's no shock they're not in high demand. ADA hasn't been very good either. It's been a very bad year for the Sox in terms of developing assets at the MLB level outside of the core guys.

Agreed.

Fuld is a better player than De Aza. Fuld has an bop of .370 and plays great defense.

From a baseball standpoint, I'd take De Aza over Fuld. Fuld is obviously better defensively, but offensively he should regress. He's been pretty bad most of his career. He is basically a defensive replacement/PR to me.

I'm happy with the lineup as constructed. I'd prefer Dunn behind Abreu and I don't like putting Gillaspie in a position (after Eaton) where he is bound to see more LHP. Where he is, his non-power hits can drive in the runners ahead of him.
