LittleHurt05 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) From all reports of those close to the team, Minnie's death severely affected Alexei in a way they saw previously with his brother in law. For some, death affects you differently. It's no reason to minimize someone with those stupid pet analogies just because you like a baseball team. Then maybe he should have asked for some time off? It's very sorry to hear if the death really affected him, but it shouldn't justify him performing at a sub-par level for 6 months, especially given the salary he is earning.

Quin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 For what it's worth Alexei hit .277 with a .325 OBP and 8 homers in the second half. He had shown signs of life after a catastrophic start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had shown signs of life after a catastrophic start. Even Hawk was calling it a salary drive. He was a bargain for a long time, but if they spend some money on a big bat, it would be hard to argue the decision to let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Edwards Shot Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 QUOTE (ronkark @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 01:05 AM) What I will miss about Alexei: Rifle arm, turning double play, stolen bases. Occasional clutch home run (more in his early years.) The Eaton fives. What I won't miss about Alexei: Inability to draw a walk, zero plate discipline, baserunning blunder, the slow starts. And the Sox continues insistence in trying him in the 2 hole even though he doesn't take pitches, bunt, hit behind runners or do anything befitting a #2 hitter. His 10 million dollar salary. Better spent elsewhere. Not worried about Tyler. No he won't be great. But he's a heady player. He can bunt, he can run. he can field. He'll be okay. But let's get that outfielder. I, too, will take my chances with Saladino. I generally liked Alexei, but I bet that more of the "first half 2015 Alexei" is what the Padres will get. I was tired of Ramirez's mental mistakes, mood swings, apathy, and low OBP. I suspect the Sox were, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I look forward to seeing Saladino play. Especially when he covers the bag on a SB attempt. Lexi insisted on being too far in front of the bag and always having to swipe back. Used to drive Ozzie nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. He doesn't offer much at the plate, but his glove makes up for it IMO. If this is the bridge to get to Anderson, I'm with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 3 mil with a 4 mil option or 1 mil buyout. Sox just didn't want him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason he should not have been brought back for that amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
