Red Sox DFA Hanley Ramirez

[nynasty]

this should get swihart more AB's frankie.

Where will he play? DH?

 

[Rock Strongo]

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.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Future Met

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

 

[Mondo Jay]

22 extra million to spend next year now.

 

[Chewbaccer]

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.

 

[Chewbaccer]

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.

 

[black francis]

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

Hanley, Gonzalez, Crawford,

yeah, that...i thought you meant actually playing. injuries happen.

Don't worry about them, they can always count on the Dodgers to bail them out.

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

 

[Rex Racer]

dough boy aint a good third baseman

I've seen a few guys that started out worse and worked to make themselves really good defensively so there is that, but

Travis Shaw is pretty good.


How's Tyler Thornburg doing?

I was thinking more like Rico Petricelli

What's he hitting this year?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

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

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

Hanley, Gonzalez, Crawford,

Pablo Sandoval,Rusney Castillo and Hanley Ramirez are making almost 80 million this season from the Red Sox

Hanley needs to stay in AL So TB here he comes

And one less guy that crushes the Yankees

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

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

Or across the country to wherever their AAA team plays
