chw42 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 4 minutes ago, Vote4Pedro said: 5 for 75….meh give me Gallo instead I wouldn't have minded Gallo, but this lineup is already looking at bounce back seasons from 2 of its left handed bats in Grandal and Moncada. Adding a 3rd guy to that list is just a bad idea. I feel like you have a better shot of winning the lottery than all 3 bouncing back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Tendi/Robert/Colas for the next 5 years is pretty solid actually. Defense alone will make the sox ERAs drop about .50 across the board the next two seasons (it was that bad). With the contract others got this year, you really can't complain. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloy can be perm DH - it's for his own friggin good. you should know by now that this team can't figure out such an obvious fact like that, Eloy will absolutely play a little bit of LF throughout the year, I'd put money on it.

Dick Allen Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 13 minutes ago, maxjusttyped said: Benny's been above 2 WAR twice in 5 full seasons. Gallo's been above 2 WAR 4 times in 5 full seasons. I think people are putting far too much weight on what happened last year when projecting forward for guys that are still in their respective primes, but oh well. Hopefully the Sox get Benny done because OF is looking bleak right now outside of him. Yeah but if you’re getting your info from Fangraphs, Gallos projected WAR in 2023, which is all most of us really care about, is half of ABs. 5 years vs. 1 year, I will give that to you, but we will see. I think the ball is going to have a little more juice in it in 2023. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for some reason I thought Grandal got $78 million. Now Hahn gets to say he gave out the biggest deal in Sox history to make it seem like the team is still spending money.

And I’m not whining, I’m happy they spent for a real left fielder, just made me laugh to think about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I think we need to thank AJ Pollock for declining his free $8 million. Without that, I doubt this deal happens. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I totally forgot that Benintendi had a hamate bone injury. Apparently he had the surgery before to get it removed and then it grew back and got broken again? You gotta hope that's not a recurring issue.
