Re: Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
Career .280 hitter with only 2 hr's since the start of 2010.
Gross. It's not like he's Vince Coleman on the base paths.

Re: Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
Does being a poor home run hitter automatically mean you are a bad player..... let alone a bench fill in guy?

Re: Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
It means that there are players with higher upside that should take a roster spot.

Re: Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
Apparently Pettitte and Kuroda weren't top 90 in the FA pool. Laughable

Re: Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
Ah, well Pettitte did not make the list at all, even on the pitchers side

Probably based on an assumption that he would retire.

In Sweeney's case, YES!!!!!! The guy can't run, has no power or run producing potential and is a singles hitter playing in a power position. Cherington signing this dodo simply confirms the low regard I have for him as a GM. A crappy signing. OTOH, at least we don't have to face the spectre of seeing "Lazy Lars" Anderson polluting our lineup ever again. Chances are his stay in Chicago won't be too long either.

Re: Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
Sweeney's only bright spots at the plate last year were in April. In his last 151 plate appearances before hitting the self-destruct button on his season at the end of July, he posted a remarkably bad line of 200/253/271.

Re: Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
What makes some defensive positions a "power position" and others not?

I thought he hit well through most of May, and didn't he have a concussion at the end of May? Not arguing, seriously asking????
