Yeah, Edwin makes soooooo much sense as a DH for Boston, BUT they are stuck with Hanley and Pablo who are such liabilities on the field
Damn those were terrible signings by the Red Sox. LOL
I actually thought of adding exactly that after I posted
Yes, Edwin will probably have to leave for a QO comp pick if we sign Bautista
And that's exactly what I'd do
Lots of silent votes for Pompey
I'd LOVE to see Pompey (or Travis for that matter) become a good enough OBP guy for that to make sense, but no way do I start the season with him in that role even if he's hot in spring training. He'd have to earn it over a few months from the 9 spot IYAM.
Looks up BBREF
Sees no HR power except when he played in Vegas.
LOL. That was such a problem evaluating our guys in AAA too. HR numbers seemed off the charts for everyone.
I wouldn't do this. Bautista Donaldson and EE are so good against LHP and RHP that I don't think it matters. They're our best hitters. They need to be at the top of the order.
