1. Matt Waters Posted: December 12, 2006 at 03:46 AM (#2258445)Just funning with ya, kevin. I'd like Pedroia to be the starter this year. What I really wanted, though, was for him to start at SS and to have Giles at 2B.
He does? How many times have you seen him play there?
Enough to know that he's better at as a 2B, and that he's worse than Alex Gonzalez.
And there's a larger issue here. Pedroia is a very valuable commodity for hte Red Sox, a guy who can play major league baseball for really cheap, and has at least all-star upside. They have to make a plan and stick with it, and they have to show they're committed to him and that they believe in him (unless they don't believe in him, in which case they shoulda made that clear way before the non-tender deadline).
Giles makes no sense to me as a pick-up for the Sox.
I am interested in the possibility of a mediocre-to-failed starter as a closing option. Always liked Joel Pineiro, though I have to think the Mariners would recognize his value in this market - and if not the Mariners, someone else will.
No.
BECAUSE I SAW HIM AND his throwing windup suggests that his arm isn't strong enough for SS.
Actually, I think they are trying to send the opposite message. I remember reading that they did not want to hand him the job this year because they thought he came in out of shape last year. I think they want to challenge him and make him earn his spot against other competition. From the little I know about his personality, I think he'll respond well.
And for crying out loud, didn't anyone read my post 6 or 8? Pedroia should start and the Giles idea is a bit silly! How many times must I say it?
My god man, be consitent.
Julio Lugo is pretty damn underrated. I don't know how well he will retain his value ofver the life of his contract, but for the next couple years him at 8m is a damn good buy in terms of $ efficency and in terms of actual value to the RedSox.
He is a better player than Renteria was when he signed.

Oh where the hell have you been? I've been fighting this battle uphill for the last two weeks, it woulda been nice to know SOMEONE agreed with me.
Plus I didn't know, until I looked at the last 2 years PM-SLWTS.
Because I'm not perfect like you.

Eric M. Van agrees with you and then some. He projects Lugo at .311 / .378 / .456. That's his conservative projection.
Well, you listened to those...My god man, be consistent.
My god I wish. I'm an #######, who has far too little patience - that by itself makes me far from perfect. Couple that with knowing a heck of a lot less about baseball than a bunch of posters here (not you) makes my fallibility a slam dunk.
Eric Van is consistently wrong more than anyone else I ever met. Don't shake my confidence like that. btw: Eric is a nice guy, I've enjoyed our chats. With that said he is the definition of bad sabrmetrics.
I didn't listen to anything. I read your opinion and realize you know nothing about quality music. Much like, when I read Gaelen or Lar I realize they know nothing about baseball.
My brain is just turned to ####.
I think I like your posts so much because you're like Dr. Cox on Scrubs for BBTF.
He's not super good at 2B either.
Pedroia is not some sort of defensive genius.
I don't knowwhat you guys are smoking, but if you think Pedroia is good enough defenisvely playing SS for an entire season without hurting us, then you're a tool.
Shouldn't you be calling someone a racist or something, rather than talking about baseball? Specificly calling someone a tool, who likely has actually seen the guy play a number of times?
You do know he was NCAA defensive player of the year in 2003? I'm not saying that this would make him a top notch or even good SS in the Major Leagues, but I bet he'd be closer to average than awful.
it's cuz he's white.
And I haven't? Pedroia will not be a good MLB SS. He will be a decent MLB 2B. Unless you want him to become some sort of never-ending defensive joke like Derek Jeter, don't put him there.
it's cuz he's white.
It's true that we wouldn't be having this conversation if we were bringing in Tsuyoshi Nishioka.
alex cora would hit better than him.
Maybe once he's up for good for a little while they could try subbing him in at SS to see if he can handle it.
Seriously?
Lugo's Career Line: .277 / .340 / .402
Lugo's (Cherry Picked) Seasonal Highs: .295 / .362 / .431
Career OPS+: 92
There's no money. Couldn't offer for Glavine, and they need to clear budget room for salary increases on their keepers. It's almost rotoball here. They don't have room for a $5M Giles, and seemingly no-one else thinks he's worth $5M plus a player in return.
The BoSox could probably get Giles straight up for a B prospect.
OTOH, Littlefield really wants LaRoche and the Braves want Gonzalez. So a Castillo/Giles add on with maybe more names seems good.
Is he using a CFBPS?
