I do have a question for anyone on this site , this site got a lot of wealth information. someone was telling me that its possible Nunez could get DFA twice by same team same season? Nunez would have to be unclaimed by the end of the 10th day then Red Sox could use him for a couple of games then DFA Nunez for the 2nd time, is this a possible scenario? I just can't remember the last time seeing a player who got DFA twice by the same team ( 162 games season )

cora indicated that after Nunez being DFA'd, expect more moves to be made. I would send down /brasier and bring up De La Guerra for the right handed bat. the only trouble is he seems to be injured often. He has a good bat that nunez didn't have this year. He may need some time to get back hitting though too. Brasier has been too on and off which they can't afford right now, so he needs to figure it out down below. Owings could also be a possibility, but I would prefer De La Guerra.

I like De La Guerra, and Brasier at a minimum needs a break to rest, but with the starters going so short, I don't think they care afford to shorten the pen. |

I just can't remember the last time seeing a player who got DFA twice by the same team ( 162 games season ) Would suggest reading this: www.thecubreporter.com/book/export/html/3535When the player is designated for assignment, the team has seven days to do one of several things with him. Some of those things lead to the player staying in the organization though, such as being outrighted. If the player later gets called back up and added to the 40-man, then sure, he could get DFA a second time in the same season. In 2015, for example, the Red Sox DFA'ed Jeff Bianchi twice (in that case, Bianchi refused an outright assignment but then immediately re-signed, likely for more money). Not in the same season, but the Red Sox have designated players like Dan Butler and Pedro Beato multiple times. In Nunez's case, he's gone. |

Did you have to bring up Don Buddin? Oh, the pain. He made 70 errors in 2 years, all, it seems, with the game on the line. If you're not old enough to remember him, you're lucky.
He knew he was hated in Boston and, once he was released, never came back to Boston for any reason.

Don't forget Error Renteria I called him Rentanerror Perfect! That's exactly what he was. It's too bad. He actually was a good player. He had a bad back the year the Sox had him, and then they traded him away for Marte, the young 3b who had been with Atlanta. I thought he had a big baseball future ahead of him (unfortunately he didn't have much future ahead of him at all unfortunately - I think he was killed in a car accident the same day Ventura of the KC Royals died.) Then Marte was traded a month later when Theo officially returned in a deal for Coco Crisp and Josh Bard, which necessitated Doug Mirabelli coming back to the Red Sox in a police car for a Sox/Yankees game to catch Wakefield. Renteria was a really good player. Had the game winning WS hit in 1997 for the Marlins in Game 7, was the WS MVP for the Giants in 2010, had some strong seasons for St. Louis and Atlanta, but we'll remember him for being terrible with the Red Sox and most importantly being the guy who made the last out of the 2004 World Series, the out we (non-millenials) waited our whole lives for. |

He's the definition of someone who can't handle Boston. I wouldn't even lump him in with Crawford, who was never good again. We just happened to sign him when his career was ready to fall off a cliff. But Renteria became a very good player again after they gave up on him which made me even more angry at him. |

But Renteria became a very good player again after they gave up on him which made me even more angry at him. The two things I had heard about him was that his back was bad all year and he could barely bend down and the second thing I remember hearing about him was that he complained about the way the field was taken care of him (bad hops, etc), which sounds like excuse making to me. The whole Cabrera for Renteria and collect a draft pick as compensation thing made perfect sense to me. Renteria > Cabrera, or so I thought, plus they got - was it Ellsbury as a result of losing Cabrera? Cabrera totally handled Boston. He was in Manny's face making sure he didn't screw around. He was the one guy willing to take him on and that was a big thing. The funny thing is that Cabrera wound up being a perfect fit for the Red Sox, although I'll always feel bad that Nomar wasn't on the team when they finally broke through to win the Series. Glad he got a ring at least. As far as Crawford goes, I guess it shouldn't be shocking that he couldn't replicate his 2010 season, but I didn't see him falling off a cliff so quickly. I think they were going to bat him 3rd and he had a couple of bad games to start the season and Francona dropped him down in the lineup and it seemed to mess with his head. I mean it was crazy that the season ended on a low liner that Crawford would normally catch - before 2011, but failed to in 2011. It was just a terrible fit. The Red Sox outbid everybody by a ton for him. When Crawford heard the figure he was driving, and he nearly drove off the road. But that speaks to what really pissed off David Ortiz (I read in his book). The Sox would go all out for somebody else's free agent and then lowball their own free agent (Lester vs Price is another example of this). |

He knew he was hated in Boston and, once he was released, never came back to Boston for any reason. I remember Don Buddin’s frequent and majestic foul ball over everything “home runs” and following up errors with amazing JBJ-like impossible plays. A paragon of “almosts”. He was great with the kids. Not everyone hated him. |

Thanks to Nunez for being willing to play in pain and when it seemed like parts of his body were just going to snap off

I see that Brasier has been sent down and Darwinson being called up. I am glad that Brasier is down where he can figure things out and hope that Darwinzon will help the parent club. Brasier was costing them this year. I still would like to see De La Guerra up to compliment Marco for 2nd base. He could provide a good bat off the bench also.

Unless our starters all of a sudden start going longer, I doubt if we will see an additional position player.

Duly noted except we don't have a righthanded 2nd baseman to replace Nunez now. Holt and Marco are lefthanded. Oh wait we can use Chavis for 2nd when Moreland comes back. Brainf---.

I remember Don Buddin’s frequent and majestic foul ball over everything “home runs” and following up errors with amazing JBJ-like impossible plays. A paragon of “almosts”. He was great with the kids. Not everyone hated him. Your memories are intact! Buddin was to the Sox what Marvelous Marv Throneberry later was to the Mets, prompting Casey Stengel to famously exclaim "Can't anybody here play this game"?! Buddin had a penchant for what in those days was deemed the spectacular play while butchering the routine ones with disturbing regularity. Fans would throw up their hands...'If he can make that great play, why can't he field the easy grounder?'... Whenever the announcer said "grounder to Buddin" there was a Pavlovian, collective tightening of New England sphincters. He was equally frustrating offensively. If memory serves, he'd hit about 12 homers a season, a goodly number for SS in those days. BUT he'd hit at least twice that many out foul. How was that possible?! "Get a heavier bat!" was the common cry. Joe Castiglione, who sometimes tends toward the dramatic on even routine plays, would have been hospitalized. Fans were forever Yin and Yanged.... Buddin's potential seemed so tantalizing but remained always just out of reach. "Jeez, if only..that one was fair or if fielded cleanly"??... we said with fatalistic resignation. However I remember one game when Buddin hit a game winning grand slam against the then indomitable Yankees at Fenway. Such was that improbable turn that the neighborhood kids dubbed him Don "Yankee" Buddin. When reminiscing, he remains that to this day |

I was about to ask that we keep this thread on topic but then realized it's about Eduardo Nunez so it going off-topic and all over the place just seemed appropriate. Carry on.

Shaun Anderson, has reached the major league level and has a 4.48 ERA in 60 1/3 innings for the Giants. At 24 years old, he's shown flashes of brilliance and looks like a part of San Francisco's rotation for years to come.
The other player in the trade, right-handed pitcher Gregory Santos, was just 17 years old at the time of the trade
Now, Santos is finding success stateside. In 34 2/3 innings for Class A Augusta, Santos has a 2.86 ERA. MLB Pipeline has the 19-year-old ranked as the Giants' No. 7 overall prospect.
EDit, meanwhile ... I'd take the bet on SF making it to the NLDS, but they won't get past LA.
