Where will he play? DH?
yes. more platoon AB's at 1B, DH, maybe OF on a need basis.

his value now is in his versatility.

They'll move him back to shortstop. There and center field are pretty much the only positions where they don't have a geezer playing.
Best 2012 roster evah

But they probably should have waited until Monday. His overall numbers aren't great against them, but he always seemed to get the big hit against the Braves.

Except he's barely played any 1B on any level and his OF stint a few years ago ended in disaster. We already know he can't catch, so I'm having a little trouble seeing the versatility.

Why are you arguing over Blake Swihart?

His numbers are pretty bad, and now you say he's a defensive liability too?

hes got the ability to learn, thats it. he may not be VERY good everywhere, but he can play in those spots. OF wasnt a disaster. he was like 30 for 31 in PO. hes played first twice this year.

i dunno, nesn agrees with me.

By disaster, I mean he tore up his ankle and missed a year and a half, and his value plummeted with it.

We'll see. Interesting day in Sox nation, for sure. I think they're going to need another bat ASAP, or people are going to start pitching around Martinez.

Boston - never shy about a player friendly contract, then dumping them for scraps a couple years later

Hanley, Gonzalez, Crawford,

this was a head scratcher why not just limit his PAs
Swihart is useless
JBJ cant hit and both catchers suck
Hanley needs to stay in AL So TB here he comes:suds:

Players union apparently about to go to war over this one as this was obviously all about the AB option not kicking in

They need to get a solid 3rd baseman and move Devers across the diamond to 1st base where he belongs :thumb:


Or across the country to wherever their AAA team plays
