CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 12:29 PM) It's actually an interesting question as to who is faster. The consensus is that Iglesias is not fast, especially for a MIF. However, how slow does that make him compared to a "fast big guy" like Garcia? Garcia has definitely done a better job of stealing bases in the minor leagues and has a bit lower rate of GDP than Iglesias Every report I've seen on him rates his speed as above average .He was rushed through the Red Sox minors so his bat has some catching up to do but I think he can hit as well as Ozzie Smith did. And with his glove he'll be around a long time .I like Garcia better but there's no way I would've whined about getting Iglesias. But I value defense a lot more than some when you already have the pitching. Edited August 4, 2013 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Anyone surprised no pinch runner ? Bench might be kind of short already so giving Robin the benefit of the doubt here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only way he was going to score on that. He wasn't going to score there even if it dropped . He's a catcher and it was shallow enough for the SS to catch it. Maybe he's scores if he was off at the crack of the bat but he wasn't. Edited August 4, 2013 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 If you want to have fun, go to baseball-reference and look at Detroit's salary commitments over the next 5 years. It is going to become near impossible for them to add to the team, especially as they have to re-up with Miggy and think about whether to keep VMart, Schezer, Fister, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
