CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I kind of wanted the Sox to give him a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmaranz Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Great low risk/high reward scenario. If that guy can stick as a #5 that's a hell of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Huh? Getting a 24 year old who’s hit 19 or 20 homeruns every year he’s been in the league with OPS and SLG trending upward is despised, but paying $9 million a year for the next three for a guy who’s pitched 10 IP since 2014 is what some people were actually excited about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s $9.125 million for the entire 3 years. The Sox wasted a lot more money than that last offseason on Alonso, Jay, and Santana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place he’s produced is Asia. He’s a AAAA player. You might point out that he’s cheap but so is Nomar Mazara. The difference is that Mazara at worst will hit 20 bombs with a mid 700s OPS, pulled down by a weakness against LHP, and at best could blossom into his full potential. Lindblom isn’t going to do that. This guy is what he is. Soxtalk has weird fetishes and dislikes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got a shockingly strong opinion of Josh Lindblom for someone who appears to know nothing about Josh limblom. Weird how Mazara could “blossom to his full potential” But lindblom couldn’t possibly have gotten any better in the three years since the stats you’re referencing.

Mazara is a bad baseball player. It’s cool he has 79 HRs by the age of 24, but he legit sucks at everything else.

A crappy defensive right fielder who can’t OPS over .800 blows, and he hasn’t done that once in four seasons. 35 year old Brett freaking Gardner put up an .829 OPS last season.
