@jonheyman Scout on red sox prospect Sam travis: "the next Paul goldschmidt
He's not ready yet, and Hanley's going to be DH'ing next year. If anything the coast is going to be clear as day.
We miss you Mike.
Is it the money or the roster jam? Because if it's the money, sure, if it's the roster jam, DD has made it clear that the superior players will play. That's why Shaw will start at 3B come opening day. It's a non-issue.
We miss you Mike.
Plus Tarvis should be in MiLB for about a full season. By which time Hanley will be a a full time DH.
Of course Travis may totally tear it up and be promoted this August. At least for a cup of Joe.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
