Bobby Dalbec
Anything new on this power prospect? Could he be the power hitter the club needs in a year from now? Is he still working his way back? Is he still having trouble making contact and striking out at a lousy rate? Does Dalbec really look the part? He is actually one of my favorites, and I'm hoping for a big turn around this year. Are 18 and 19 year olds throwing the ball past him and mediocre breaking balls stumping him? Will we see him in AA this year?

Leading off Nunez is crazy IMO. He's the worst OBP guy besides the catchers and bench guys, basically.

I'd like to hear what people think the batting line up should be. Not what you think the Sox/Cora will make it be. Assuming a defensive lineup of; Vazquez, Hanley. Nunez, Devers, Bogaerts, Benintendi, Betts, JBJ,& J.D. as the DH I would like to see a line up of; Nunez Betts Benintendi J.D. Devers Hanley Bogaerts JBJ Vazquez
Pedroia bats lead off when he returns

Red Sox should sign Jake Arrieta. They need a SP who can win in the playoffs.
Along with a middle of the order bat I also think the Sox need a lead off batter & someone to play 2nd base until Pedroia comes back.
I think the 2018 Red Sox roster building should be:
Sign J. D. Martinez, Jake Arrieta & Eduardo Nunez
Nunez bats lead off & plays 2B until Pedroia comes back then becomes the utility infielder.
Martinez is the DH/1B along with Hanley & comes to camp with a 1B mit to learn the position.
Arrieta slots into the rotation right after Sale followed by Price Porcello & Pomeranz.

That's what DD should of included in an offer for Marcell Ozuna The Red Sox don't need Ozuna. And don't start your JBJ crap again.
Ozuna would have been a major upgrade over JBJ because he would of been the middle of the order bat the team needs. They could of then moved JBJ & possibly others like Swihart & Johnson & Hembree in a package for pithing prospects.
DD blew a great opportunity on Ozuna

Machado more likely than Hosmer to Sox. Machado to Sox for Bogaerts, Johnson or Shawaryn (who pitched at Maryland and would give them all 6 years and fully optional control) and Buttrey or one of our other high octane relief arms (or a lower end guy like Hembree from our current MLB roster who would give them an arm to enable them to deal a higher end guy like Brach or Britton or O'Day for much more value) would give them very solid return without negotiating window and yet cost us players we could afford to give. We should not give up more without a window to negotiate an extension. I read something to the effect that Peter Angelos wants it in writing that whichever team he trades Machado to will not flip him to an AL East team so unless that changes, I find it pretty impossible to believe. There's no way that I give up Bogaerts for 1 year of Machado. They are looking for at least two young starters, which would probably be something like ERod and Groome. That's what DD should of included in an offer for Marcell Ozuna

JBJ to the Houston Astros for minor league Starting Pitching prospect Forrest Whitley.
Sign J.D. Martinez for LF Sign Eric Hosmer for 1B Move Mookie to CF Move Benintendi to RF

I think it will end up being 5/$125 with 2 team options. Just not positive it will be the Red Sox.

Washington needs and is looking for a Catcher
I'd love to get RP Sean Doolittle
Could a trade be built around Sandy Leon?

Who bats leadoff? With Pedroia slated to miss the first 2 months of the season should the Sox be looking for someone to bat leadoff? Betts is a possibility but I think the team needs him in the 3 hole (personally I would prefer him to bat 2nd). Maybe Bogaerts bats leadoff (but I prefer him in the 6 or 7 slot). Currently this is how I see the lineup; 1) (Marco Hernandez) 2)Benintendi 3)Betts 4) (Carlos Santana) 5)Hanley 6)Devers 7)Bogaerts 8)JBJ 9)Vazquez

Anything new on this power prospect? I'm hoping he'll be in Portland this coming season. Anyone seen him? Could he be the power hitter the club needs in a year from now?

That's kind of an obscure reference. Some other really interesting tidbits in there such as Chavis and possibly Swihart getting reps at 2B. And Swihart also possibly getting some time at 3B. It's about time. He should have been getting time there last year

It is looking increasingly likely that JBJ will not be back next year. Why? What have you read or heard? Speculation on your part? Don't get me wrong, I've been calling to trade him since he's been in AA. I think he is a massive black hole in the line up and would love to see the Sox move on from him. I love his defense & hate him as a hitter.

Moving Mookie to 2nd is just stupid to suggest even as radical. JBJ should be traded & Mookie moved back to CF. Benintendi should be playing RF. Nunez & Moreland should be signed to 1 year deals as bench/role players. A middle of the order bat needs to be signed or traded for that can play LF & it does not matter if he bats LH or RH. Brentz should get a legitimate shot as Youngs replacement in Spring Training. Hanley remains as the RH DH. Holt should be traded. Rutledge & Ross should not even be offered arbitration.

Since his batting average high of .285 on July 5th JBJ has:
Had 113 ABs with 23 hits, 4 Doubles, 2 HRs, 8 RBIs, Scored 9 Runs, Walked 6 times & Stuck Out 38 times
For a Batting Average of .204, An OBP of .248, Slugged .292 & an OPS of .540
From April 3rd through June 10th; In 151 ABs his BA was .232, his OBP was .328, his SLG was .437 & his OPS was .765 From June 10th through July 5th; In 99 ABs his BA was .364, his OBP was .427, his SLG was .566 & his OPS was .993
By Month he has a; AVG OBP SLG OPS April - .209 .271 .326 .596 May - .221 .341 .468 .808 June - .353 .431 .578 1.009 July - .231 .263 .333 .596 Aug ( so far) .192 .250 .308 .558
Just like last year, as a Hitter, he is excellent for about 100 ABs and even very good for about a total of 200 ABs. But, the rest of the time he is a dark hole in the line up. He is an EXCELLENT DEFENDER but I think the Sox should move him in the off season and get a better more consistent bat into this line up.

My top 10 based on what I believe is their ability to make it to the majors, contribute and stick.
1) Devers 2) Groome 3) Chavis 4) Travis 5) Johnson 6) Maddox 7) Dalbec 8) Houck 9) Chatham 10)Flores

Josh Harrison; Another Perfect fit for what is needed on the Red Sox. 1 year left on his contract makes him an excellent choice until Devers is ready at some point next year.

I think it's most likely that Frazier will get traded after the deadline passes. He will either go un claimed or someone will claim him & work out a deal.
