Jake Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I don't see the appeal in Hill but they're hardly paying him above the minimum and the guy can really catch the ball. Just gives a guy on the bench that probably won't bother anybody too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he’s back on a MiLB deal shortly. Maybe he’s going to Japan or Korea? He could crush it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Hill makes more sense to me than the rest because you picked him up at the very end of the season and never got to really see him. But yeah, if they aren't even willing to try with Booser, that really tells you how bad that trade was. They even tendered Wilson after his awful season.

I'd rather the new guy Pereira play CF. Supposedly he's "slowed down" but still has the range to play the position. Hill seems worthless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I'm not really losing sleep over the Booser deal but there's no way to put lipstick on that pig either. Chances are that it winds up a draw but all the upside lives with the Red Sox now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Everson Pereira needs to be in RF... but that's never stopped the Sox before. And Hill is pretty much abysmal offensively, don't even need to look at the stats. Just goes to show how unproductive the system (and Getz) have been at developing ANYONE to replace Robert in CF that can both hit AND field.

Timmy U Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I have no idea who they plan to add as the offseason progresses, but subtracting Tauchman, Gomez, Wilson, and Booser while taking a flyer on Pereira, Murphy and R/R MiLB utility player Tanner Murray does not feel like a team trying to add wins this season. I think they are significantly worse, which ain't easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I would use the term "significantly worse" when talking about a 62 win team, but it also isn't good to see them dumping dollars already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getz gave up a 19 year old pitching prospect for 33 year old reliever and got 31 innings and a -0.5 bWAR out of him. It was a horrendous trade. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably an overstatement. I think last year's team was really more like a 70 win team. They severely underperformed their run differential. I was feeling optimistic that they might be a 75 win team coming into the year, but they reduced their starter depth, their reliever depth, and now they don't have a rightfielder. Not great. They do have five young players that I think will help them this year (B. Montgomery, Antonacci, H. Smith, Schultz, and McDougal). Hopefully, they are clearing out space for them? Cuz I personally can't handle another year of giving 350+ at bats to AAAA players like Josh Rojas, Nicky Lopez, and, gulp, Derek Hill. But you're right. Even if they do that, they should still win more than 62 with the young guys they now have in the lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
