August 14, 200916 yr QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) So apparently, as of RIGHT NOW, Boers claims that "his guy" with the Sox says they are likely to re-sign Pods with CQ in right. Figgins is not in play. Then reinvest that savings in a power DH that CAN play another position for IL/WS games Only following that would I be fine with it.

By the time that they hand out raises to their arb guys, they are looking at pretty much the same payroll as this year.

Everything else has been suspect of course, as is his way. But now my worries about that high average are creeping up. He's getting a lot of infield hits, which is great...but when we face great teams, especially in the playoffs, we cant count on him being able to poke and slap at some of the greatest pitchers in the game. We've gotta get Rios a lot of starts, and get him centerfield for all close games by the later innings. He has a league average OBP for an AL leadoff hitter. .281/.351/.418/.768 would be your average line.
