Totally right. As things are looking right now, a platoon of Nunez and Holt would be OK. Not great...just OK, but the "black hole" would be sealed for awhile until Devers pulls into town. What black f-ing hole? The Lin / Marrero platoon have been a 2.1 WAR /150 G player. Along with Holt, you have your beautiful stopgap on hand already. The only reason Lin was sent down was the need to restock the bullpen while playing 58 innings in four days. BTW, Nunez has a career reverse platoon split, 96 wRC+ vs. RHP and 88 vs. LHP. Meanwhile, Marrero has been a +16 defender at 3B and has a 152 wRC+ vs. LHP in 42 PA. You can regress those numbers ridiculously and he's still a better option than Nunez for the RH platoon side. The defensive difference, regressed, is about 18 runs. A run of defense is 1.36 points of wRC+, so as long as Marrero's 152 doesn't regress below 64, he's the better option. ErIc I agree that Lin/Marrero is not black hole, we need the above average D. If the Sawx added Alonso as a middle order power bat, I believe the 3rd base hole becomes less troublesome. What is Beane asking?

Why are Redsox sending cash to White Sox?

Read your report and found it very interesting. For those of you who haven't followed ashville; I think you would find his scouting reports enlightening

Bogey has a slash line of 341/413/524 in May, 12XBH- 9 doubles and 3 triples, with an injured thumb that requires daily treatment.I believe that's value even without home runs

where's the guy who always complains about Xander? Needs Some Homeruns! Otherwise he doesnt add much value to being an average defensive short stop! I was watching Celtics blow a huge lead btw.

They either walk Papi or pitch around him with 1st open. Left on Left matchup in the 8th. Ortiz probably gets a at bat in the 8th. You don't walk the go ahead run on base. You're flat out wrong. I know old school book says dont put the winning run on base but I don't think it's that clear cut. Do I pitch to Papi or pitch around to set up double play and pitch to the current edition of Xander.I believe the odds of getting out of the inning without the tying run scoring is better facing Xander.

So let's review. A runner on 3rd with less than two outs in the 8th inning and you have the greatest clutch hitter in the history of the game in David Ortiz and Farrell would rather pinch hit Sandy Leon? Yeap that just happened. They either walk Papi or pitch around him with 1st open.

Screwed up the quote. I was at the game yesterday and Martin gave up a long home run to Josh Bell and the inning before the home run had 2 balls caught at the base of the wall. He gave up a lot of solid contact. Not a good outing.

You know. He just decided his entire future by giving up 3 runs in 2 1/3 innings. Good pitchers don't give up runs.

Eric Chavez seems like a fit if Napoli departs. He would provide corner infield depth while creating a 3rd base platoon with Middlebrooks. Might be available on Gomes-like 2 year deal, more like 12M over 2 yrs.
