LittleHurt05 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 11:28 AM) I think everyone's being serious. Denorfia was a popular choice to round out the bench. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=94210 Interesting. Guess I missed the memo on that one. I get all these bench/platoon OFs mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they make bigger/more moves, I actually have them finishing 4th in that division. I think the Cardinals, Brewers and Pirates are much better than them. Better line ups, and better pitching. Everyone stays healthy and gets back to career numbers, the Reds could even push them to 5th. I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be the most shocking thing ever because there is a lot of potential on that club. Now it'd be really surprising if it does happen considering how young and unproven they are but it's not completely out of the question. Unfortunately for them the Cardinals are still there and you and I could be their 3-4 hitters and they'd still be in the playoffs.

I wouldn't say the Brewers are in that class quite yet, but St. Louis and Pittsburgh I'd definitely say are better.

Unfortunately for them the Cardinals are still there and you and I could be their 3-4 hitters and they'd still be in the playoffs. I don't think a playoff appearance is completely out of the picture, but I just don't see how they're better than either of Pittsburgh or St. Louis. Also, I do not think St. Louis could win with me as their cleanup hitter. I would require a $10 million contract and I would hit .005/.008/.008. I explained this in PHT today. With my lack of range, weak arm, inability to catch the ball, terrible base running, fear of bunting a 94 MPH fastball, tendency to run out of the batter's box at the mere sight of a breaking ball, and incapability of sliding (my "slide" is some drunken version of a summersault), I believe I'd be worth roughly -15 fWAR per season, which would make me the worst player in major league history.
