1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Lady, you avoiding her old mom and been waiting more. 2 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: Welcome to Moussa territory, Ladies and gentlemen, man oh man, 3 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: what a difference a year can make. Remember right around 4 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: this time last year, maybe what another like ten days 5 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: or so from now, about the one year mark, where 6 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: we were all celebrating the arrival of Alex Bregman coming 7 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: to Boston. And today we are now going to be 8 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: reacting to the Red Sox signing Isaiah Kinner Philepa. The 9 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: Red Sox have brought IKFF to Boston, Ladies and gentlemen, 10 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be honest, I'm still processing this one, 11 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: and we are live here. This was announced maybe about 12 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: another hour, hour and a half ago, but I feel 13 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: like I've processed it enough to give you my reaction 14 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: to it. That we're still waiting, I think on possibly 15 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: some other moves to be made. I am gonna hold 16 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: out a little bit that maybe something else could happen. However, 17 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: if this is it, if this is the the bat 18 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: that the Red Sox are bringing the Boston to solidify 19 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: the lineup, the final bat, well, then it feels flat. Obviously, 20 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: I kf he has never he has never really had 21 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: a good reputation of you know, being a you know, 22 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: a difference maker in the lineup, more of a guy 23 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: that you know, he has good versatility. He can play 24 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: good defense. In shortstop not so much, but third base 25 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: he's always been a good defender there. Second base, he 26 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: can get the job done there as well. So you know, 27 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: in this case, yes, that will bring some value to 28 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Also a good clubhouse guy, you know, 29 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: I think you can just look at he's always had 30 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: that reputation. But you just look at you know, the 31 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: Blue Jays, right, they brought him back last year late 32 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: season and all of a sudden he's on their World 33 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: Series team. So you know, it's a guy that I 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: think does bring positives. But if you're looking for a 35 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: bat that is going to help solidify the lineup, that 36 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: is going to help lessen the blow of Bregman going 37 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: to the Chicago Cubs, I'm sorry, but I KF is 38 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: not it. And listen, I'm always a glass half full 39 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: kind of a guy. Based off of the track record, 40 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: based off of the metrics, the numbers that we've seen, 41 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: he's just not doing it for me. Again, he does 42 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: bring positives in some ways, but not the way I 43 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: was looking for, and I think most Red Sox fans 44 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: were looking for. I still wonder if there could be 45 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: another move. And we actually did get something here from 46 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Pete Abraham. Okay, so he actually did update this. Let's 47 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: go take a look SI. Hold on one second, everybody, 48 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: if you are joining me live here on YouTube at 49 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: the like button, and if you are finding us for 50 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: the first time, subscribe down below. We are trying to 51 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: get to seven k by opening day. We're getting closer 52 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: and closer. Now let's get to Pete Abraham. So he 53 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: did put out a couple of things here taking a look. 54 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: So he said here about thirty four minutes ago. My 55 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: understanding is the Red Sox are still working on adding 56 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: to the roster beyond the signing of Kiner Filefa, and 57 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: I put that out there. I took a screenshot, I 58 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: tweeted it and I said, okay, this is what Pete 59 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: Abraham saying. But I also commented down below saying, but 60 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: this could also mean a multitude of things. Is he 61 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: talking about something for the lineup, Is he saying something 62 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: specifically for the infield, something for the outfield, or could 63 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: that be a reliever But then he did just put 64 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: here about fifteen minutes ago, saying to be a bit 65 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: more clear on this, adding to the lineup. So that 66 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: is interesting. You know, what way are the Red Sox 67 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: going to go here? I don't know, because to me, 68 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: I am all for IKF coming to the Red Sox. 69 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: If he's a guy that, you know, he's gonna bring 70 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: some good defense, a guy that can, you know, maybe 71 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: be a bit of a utility guy, he can bring 72 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: value I think in that way. But as a you know, 73 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: a guy that's going to be getting you know, three hundred, 74 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, four hundred plate appearances, I don't know, man, 75 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. If it does it 76 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: for me as a guy off the bench, yeah, I 77 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: like it. I like it a lot. So I think 78 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: we need to wait a little bit. I'm always someone 79 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: you gotta practice a little patience. I don't want to 80 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: completely jump overboard. I'm not gonna I'm never gonna jump overboard. 81 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: But that's not the right way to say. But I'm 82 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: not gonna jump to conclusions at this point. However, I 83 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: am gonna give you my reaction based off of the possibility. 84 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: If this is it, I don't think it's it. I 85 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: don't think this is the move, you know, because then 86 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: I start to question if this is it what happened 87 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: with Paratus, you know, the Chicago Cubs, you know, were 88 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: they was that a little too expensive for someone like 89 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: Nico Horner, even Matt Shaw. You know, I've seen very 90 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: split reactions on Matt Shaw. I personally think he can 91 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 1: bring a lot of positives. I do think he showed 92 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: some good things in his rookie year, very up and 93 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: down year. But I do think there is more upside 94 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: to tap into a lot more with Matt Shaw, or 95 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: even if it was Nico Horner, if you were some way, 96 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: somehow able to pry him away from the Cubs for 97 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: one year, that would have been awesome. You know, it 98 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: is what it is, though, But I can understand where 99 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: the Cubs might be asking for a lot for either 100 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: of those guys, because the Cubs are looking to They're 101 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: they're looking to go for a World Series. They're looking 102 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: to try and knock off the Dodgers, right, So that's 103 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: where you know, I get. I look back at Paratus 104 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: and I wonder, you know, just you couldn't line up. 105 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: I know, I know the Astros are looking for a 106 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: left handed hitting outfielder, and obviously the Red Sox have 107 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: a couple of those with Jared Duran Will you ar 108 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: Bray you we had gotten a couple of little tidbits 109 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: from Shane Larome of the Houston Chronicle, also in the 110 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Foul Territory Network over at Crush City Territory and you know, 111 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: saying hey, there could be some interest in will you're 112 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: possibly bringing him back to the organization. So you know, 113 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm kind of wondering, were they just having a hard 114 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: time lining up on something where, you know, finding a 115 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: good middle ground. I'm not so sure. But again I 116 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: wonder if this is more in a way kind of 117 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: like the Sunny Gray. Like, remember they brought in Sonny Gray, 118 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: and we're all thinking, wait a minute, is this the 119 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: number two? Is this the guy that we're looking for Garrett, 120 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, behind Garrett Crochet. For me, I do see 121 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: a lot of upside in Sunny Gray, But I also 122 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: said too, like I feel like you could do a 123 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: little better in the two spot. And then eventually later 124 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: down the road you bring in a Ranger Suarez. So 125 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: that's where you know, Sonny Gray was a good ad, 126 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: but it also had a bit of an insurance policy 127 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: in it as well. I wonder if this is that 128 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: same kind of a move where you're bringing him in. 129 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: He does bring positives, not all the positives you're looking for, 130 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: especially the big positives right looking for a bit more offense. 131 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: But I wonder if this is a bit of an 132 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: insurance move. They're still looking to improve that lineup, and 133 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: if they're not able to get it done, well, at 134 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: least you got some, you know, a good defensive option 135 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: over at third base. It is really funny, man, because 136 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: we did the about a couple couple of weeks ago. 137 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta play the clip for you. If 138 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: you don't remember these, do not do please, do not 139 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: do I KF. Don't do that. I will say this. 140 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk this into existence. I really don't. 141 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: I will say with I KF. If you're you got 142 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: all these guys that are ground ball, you know, demons 143 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: out there getting a lot of weak contact. I mean, 144 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: I KF is a good defender. I can't believe I'm 145 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: even making a case for I KF. I am not 146 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: making a case for I KF. So do not do 147 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: not accuse me of that. I'm thinking from the Red 148 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: Sox point of view, if they wanted to go with 149 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: a short term option, maybe I kf Okay, Well, after 150 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: looking back on that, I I hate myself. That is 151 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: a listen. I'm always gonna go down the middle here. 152 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be coming on here, of course, I'm 153 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: gonna come on here and give you my opinion on 154 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: you know what bat they should go for. I think that, 155 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, shoot, go after a freaking you know, go 156 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: find a way to get show. Hey, o Tani, I 157 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: am that much of a fan boy. I'm kidding, You're 158 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get that done. But I am, 159 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, definitely gonna give you my opinion on what 160 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: I think they should go after. But I'm also gonna 161 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: be realistic too, And you know, I am here to 162 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: give you the good information. I might be wrong on 163 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: some things, but I saw the Red Sox possibly doing 164 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: that because you're looking at you know, you're connecting dots right. 165 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: You're bringing Rangers, Suarez, Sonny Gray, guys who can get 166 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: some ground ball, some weak contact. You're looking for a 167 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: right handed hitting infielder. So I thought, okay, you know what, 168 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: he could be a possibility here, and you know the 169 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: Red Sox, you know, looking at the short term deals 170 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: that they like to give out. It did check off 171 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: a lot of boxes. Offensively, not so much. But if 172 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 1: you're looking for as many boxes to check off, I 173 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: think Paratus checks off a lot of those. He brings you. 174 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: I think that offense that fits a family park. It 175 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: didn't give you the defense, but you know, gives you 176 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: a good ab, you know, and so on. So but Ikf, 177 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: it's pretty similar in terms of the amount of boxes 178 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: that you can check off. It's just not the box 179 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: that we were looking for. Right, So look at Ikf here, 180 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: let's dive in. You know, hit two sixty two last year, 181 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: but he had a two ninety seven on base, a 182 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: three point thirty four on the slugging, seventy five on 183 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: the WRC. Plus Now, hey, good defense he still managed 184 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: to put up. It's not great by any means, but 185 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: a zero point seven f war, To be honest, I 186 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: think that's actually pretty impressive with how bad the offensive 187 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: numbers were. He had two home runs, so the fact 188 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: his defense was that good. Right to be able to 189 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: finish with a war just under a one on fangrass, 190 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: I'll give him that so yes, he is going to 191 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: give you that defense. But offensively it's not good. It's 192 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: not good. So, I mean, the most home runs he's 193 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: hitting his career eight, You can steal a couple of bases. 194 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: He had fifteen stolen bases last year. I'm just trying 195 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: to point out as many positives, all right. I'm not 196 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: sitting here defending the move. I'm not a fan of it. 197 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: As if he's a guy that's going to be getting 198 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: around four hundred plate appearances. Not a fan of it. 199 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: It is what it is. I you know, we'll see 200 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: if they look to add something else for the lineup. 201 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Pete Abraham again did report that they are still looking 202 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: to add a bit more. I will say this though, again, 203 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: if this is the move, well, if we're looking here 204 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: at the rankings on Fangrafts when it comes to overall 205 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: position player war, the Red Sox currently ranked seventeenth overall 206 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: on the picturing side of things, their first overall, so yeah, 207 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: they're definitely set on the picturing side of things. Offensively though, 208 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: seventeenth overall, that's behind the Brewers, the Tigers. I mean, shoot, 209 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, so they're gonna have their work cutout for them. 210 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: Now again, if this is the move, we don't fully 211 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: know if it's the move that is going to be 212 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: the end all be all. This is where they're looking 213 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: at guys. They have to really take a bit of 214 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: a step forward, right. You're looking for more from Roman 215 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: Anthony listen, if if he's your if Ikf's your guy, 216 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: they're counting on Roman. They're counting on big things from Roman, right. 217 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: Obviously he showed great things last year in his rookie year. 218 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: Obviously a season and is short, but you're looking for 219 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: more out of him. Obviously Wilson Contrera's at this point 220 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: right now, you have basically replaced in the lineup Bregman 221 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: with Wilson Contreras. Basically you kind of swat those guys out. 222 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: So you're hoping for solid numbers from him. Most home 223 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: runs he's hitting his career though twenty five, so it's 224 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, yes, nice, very nice bat for the lineup, 225 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: but you know you're looking for more thump, right, so 226 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: hopefully you can get that from will Youer, a guy 227 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: that was on pace for around thirty home runs last year. 228 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: Let's see if he can take a step forward, especially 229 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: against that left handed pitching. If he can stay healthy 230 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: as well. And you know, getting back to another rookie, 231 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: Marcela Meyer, you're looking for him to stay healthy. You're 232 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: looking for more out of him. Hopefully he can give 233 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: you a bit more. Hopefully he can just stay on 234 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: the field. Now getting to Marcella Meyer, this is basically again, 235 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: if this is the guy, if this is the move, 236 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: you're looking at a platoon at third base with Marcelo 237 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: Meyer and IKF. Defensively, IKF needs to be at third base. 238 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: That's his best spot. He's put up I believe nine 239 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: outs above average over the last couple of years at 240 00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: third and around ten or eleven out uh defensive run saved. 241 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: I think I might have the numbers. So yes, I 242 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: could see IKF getting the majority of playing time at 243 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: third base with Meyer. So again, I don't know. I 244 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna end up getting you know 245 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: that many polate appearances. If he's only coming in in 246 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: a platoon role, you know, I'll say this, let's take 247 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: a look at IKF when it comes to the splits. 248 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: Hold on, maybe we have a bit of saving grace 249 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: here against lefties. Oh goodness, he's got reverse splits. Oh 250 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: crying out loud. I was hoping, Okay, hold on, maybe 251 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: he's maybe he's got some thump against lefties. Nope, hit 252 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: two twenty seven against lefties last year. Looking more at 253 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: the advanced goodness, gracious, he had a he had a 254 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: forty six WRC plus against left handed pitching. Oh my god, 255 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean, how is this even a platoon? He's got 256 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: reverse splits. Oh man, man, oh man, ladies and gentlemen. 257 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's going on. But 258 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: basically I see Ikf getting a lot of reps over 259 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: at third second base. Even now, if you're looking at 260 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: second base, I mean, right now, you're looking at at 261 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: this point, you're looking at two different platoons at third 262 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: and second. You're looking at possibly IKF and Marcella Meyer 263 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: at third and David Hamilton with Rome Gonzalez over at 264 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: second base. That's interesting. Four infielders for two spots. That's 265 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: very that's very interesting. That's why I like, I don't know, 266 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: like I just I just wonder if that's it. But 267 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: then it's like, I don't know, could one of these guys, 268 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: like could Hamilton possibly be moved somewhere? I don't know, 269 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: it just it feels. I mean, well, a good lefty 270 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: option is now off the board. Brendan Donovan would have 271 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: been nice in this case. You know, I don't know, 272 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: just because then again, I mean right now, if you 273 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: bring in let's say, let's say Horner could still be 274 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: a possibility. If you bring him in, well, where's I mean? 275 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: Would would Romey simply just platoon with Meyer and that 276 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: I kf is just moving around and he's just getting 277 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: in where he can and he's just a backup. I mean, 278 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: that could still maybe be a possibility. You know, We'll see. 279 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: I feel like you just got a lot going on here. Again, 280 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna need to wait. I hate saying 281 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: that because I'm ready for this roster to get done. 282 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm ready to get into spring training. I'm ready for 283 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: pictures and catchers, the report. I love the off season. 284 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: I love the rumors, I love the trades, I love 285 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: free agency. But I get to a point where it's like, Okay, 286 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: let's uh, let's start to wrap this up a little 287 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: bit right because I'm starting to get into that different 288 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: mode and I just I want the team to get set. 289 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: We'll see now. We also had a report here today 290 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: from mass live. I believe Lauren Campbell or maybe it 291 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: was from the athletic. Hold on, this was from the Athletic. 292 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: I apologize because I want to give the correct credit. Now, 293 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: we did get a report just making sure. This was 294 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: written by Katie Woo and Will Salmon. So they reported, 295 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: while acquiring a right handed infielder stands as more of 296 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: a priority for the Boston Red Sox, the club is 297 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: also exploring the possibility of adding a right handed hitting outfielder. So, 298 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: I don't know, that's where I just feel like you 299 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: just have a lot going on. I mean, if you 300 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: were to add a right handed hitting outfielder right now, 301 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: you know that could go out there with Will You're 302 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: in right. I don't know, but I mean if you're 303 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: looking at the options, I mean, hold on a second, 304 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: let's let's pull up some options here. I mean, if 305 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: you're looking at you know, you got Miguel Andrew Horr 306 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: out there that can play some outfield. You got Starling Marty, 307 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: you got Tommy fam I mean remember Tommy Fam was 308 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: an option what felt like was a couple of years 309 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: ago or something like that. Starling Marte, I mean, he's 310 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: getting towards the end of his career, so I'm not sure. 311 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. Miguel Andrew Horr could be interesting. That's 312 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: another guy that can he can he can play some 313 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: infield two. So I don't know. It does feel flat, 314 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: it does feel I don't know. I'm still waiting to 315 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: see if there could be a trade on the horizon. 316 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: Now getting to my last point again, if this is 317 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: the final move, well, this is a huge opportunity for 318 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell, huge opportunity for KC. Obviously, we all saw 319 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: what happened with KC last year. A great start and 320 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: then he just completely fell off. He lost strength in 321 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: the middle of the year. He wore down, pictures, figured 322 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: him out, They started attacking him inside. They realized he 323 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: couldn't pull the ball. So he had to make some adjustments. 324 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: And he has made some adjustments and he's actually already 325 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: in Fort Myers. He's taking some swings. He looks good. 326 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: A right. I posted a video the other day. We're 327 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: not a video. I posted a comparison between let me 328 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: actually see if I can pull that up. Also, I 329 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: gotta say this, Nate Eaton, Nate Eaton man oh Man 330 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: playing for Great Britain in the world Baseball Classic. That 331 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: is my whole land, ladies and gentlemen. Fun fact about 332 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: me is I was born in England. So listen, I 333 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: gotta be rooting for the worst jerseys ever in the 334 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic. And hey, Ny Eaton, man, is he 335 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: gonna lead Great Britain to a championship? I'm all about it. 336 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Probably not because a rolldist Chapman. He is no longer on. 337 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: He cannot he did not qualify, didn't have I guess 338 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: enough heritage to qualify to play for Britain. What can 339 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: you do? Anyway? Back to the point, But here's a 340 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: comparison with Christian Campbell last year. This was in the 341 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: first series against the Rangers. See how much higher he 342 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: has his hands up above his ears and now he's 343 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: completely lowered the bat. Nice simple adjustment there, get the 344 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: hands a little bit lower. There's not much movement going on, right, 345 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: so he's trying to be a little quicker to the ball, 346 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: and I think pictures, you know, along with just attacking 347 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: him in side. I mean, hey, he was having a 348 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: hard time keeping up, you know. So the fact that 349 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: he's got his hands in a lower position, now he 350 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: can get to the ball a little quicker and taking 351 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: a look at the swings here in Fort Myers. Swing 352 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: looks great, nice simple compact. He's already he's got a 353 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: lot of explosiveness already. So this is a huge opportunity 354 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: for KC. Because I mean, now the Red Sox they do, 355 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: they keep dancing around, you know what his future home 356 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: is going to be. Defensively, you know, they keep you know, 357 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: Breslo has said, Okay, you know, yeah, his athleticism probably 358 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: plays in the outfield. But then you look at the 359 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: outfield where you got like nineteen outfielders at this point, 360 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: obviously you don't have nineteen. You you got four guys 361 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: in the mix plus Masa. What the heck's gonna happen 362 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: with Masa two? I don't even know what's going on here. 363 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: So then but if Cam, but they've also, you know, 364 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: there's been reports too that he could still he's still 365 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: gonna be getting reps over at second base. And I've 366 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: been thinking that from the beginning, you know, hearing all 367 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: this talk about the outfield, and yes, I think that 368 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: came into play last year too. They were moving him 369 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: around to different positions center field, and you're thinking, man, 370 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: just keep him at one spot, you know that could 371 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: that definitely I think got in between the ear the 372 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: ears a little bit too. So we'll see, you know, 373 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: if he can get better at second base, you know, 374 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: get a little bit more fluid out there, a little 375 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: less awkward. Well, hey, could you have a possible future 376 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: infield still? Christian Campbell over at second base, Marcelo Meyer 377 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: over at third, and possibly Franklinarius at shortstop someday. We'll see, 378 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: but this is an opportunity for Christian Campbell. He's had 379 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: a good offseason. He went and played over what was 380 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: at Puerto Rico. Got off to a bit of a 381 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: slow start there. You know, he brought the adjustments he 382 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: made over to that league. He did finish strong, seven 383 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: game hit screak, hit over three hundred during those that 384 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: that final stretch there, So I think he had a 385 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: positive offseason. He added weight, looks like he's in good spirits. 386 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: It is what it is also point out too, you know, 387 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: we talked about here looking for guys to really step 388 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: up and contribute more in this lineup, Guys like Roman Marcelo, 389 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: looking at guys like you know, Wilson Contreres to bring 390 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: some solid numbers, will you or Bray you hopefully can 391 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: take a bit of a step forward. But also Tristan Casas. 392 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: You know, you're still hoping for Casas to possibly come 393 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: back and do something at some point, you know, probably 394 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: looking in my opinion, I don't know. Well, we'll see 395 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: how spring training goes. I do think he's gonna start 396 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: the year at Worcester. I think we even got a 397 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: report recently maybe to like may or June, he could 398 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: end up coming back to the majors. But I say, 399 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: don't rush the guy. Let him get his work in 400 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: at Triple A. Let him get him, you know, back 401 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: on his feet, back into the swing of things, get 402 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: some AB's and hey, when he's in a good rhythm, 403 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: come back and see what he can do. You know, 404 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: so you're hoping maybe he can contribute. I think he's 405 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: a wild card at this point. I'm not expecting Casas 406 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: to come in and set the world on fire. I'm 407 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: not at all. But you know, maybe the Red Sox 408 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: feel like, hey, you know what, they're still a lot. 409 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: We didn't have to think it. They've said it. They've said, hey, 410 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: we still got a lot of high hopes for causes, 411 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, the middle of the order kind of power. 412 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to think, where are the Red 413 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: Sox thinking here? But again, you know, kind of circling back. 414 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: I do think there are positives of IKF. I do, 415 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,239 Speaker 1: but it's very flat if this is the move. So 416 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: do not go in my comments and be like, Oh, Robbie, 417 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: he's such a he's such a homer. He's defending the 418 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: IKF move. Of course, Well the Red Sox are they 419 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: paying Robbie to say these things? No, absolutely not. We 420 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: may be partnered with Nessen over here, but I'm gonna 421 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: give you my opinion. No, I think it's flat. I 422 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: don't wanna I don't wanna dog on the guy. Obviously, 423 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: there's a human being in there, and I do think 424 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: there are positives. I do think he can bring good 425 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: things to the team, but uh, you're gonna need more offense. 426 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: It's just that you know, who knows, you know, code 427 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: the Red Sox tap into a little something more, I 428 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, maybe Fats he could get a 429 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: little something, But at this point I'm not so sure 430 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: about that. It is what it is. I think it's 431 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: flat if it's off the bench, if it's a guy 432 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: that can be a utility guy in the infield. I 433 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: think that's great. I think that I think that's awesome. 434 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: I would love to have a good glove like him 435 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: on the team. They need to improve the infield defense 436 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: that they need a guy like that. Maybe not so 437 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: much at shortstop. He has not put up good numbers there, 438 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 1: but he can play there, so that is something. But yeah, 439 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: you need more defense, bragman. He brought you that good 440 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: defense over at third IKF, he can do that, but 441 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: you need more offense. We'll see. I really don't. I 442 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: don't know, but my gut tells me this is not 443 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: it for the Red Sox. It feels like more of 444 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: an insurance kind of a thing. That's kind of where 445 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: I'm at. I still think there is possibilities to add 446 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: even more to this lineup. That's kind of where I'm at. 447 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: That's my gut, That's what That's what my gut's telling me. 448 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: Could we end up still seeing because again, because you're 449 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: you're really looking at it, you just have a lot 450 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: of guys. I mean, you got two platoons, and I mean, 451 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: if you're looking at let me go back to IKF. 452 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: Let's do one thing. Let's go to the career splits. 453 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: Maybe last year was just an anomaly, all right. In 454 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: his career against lefties, he has hit two fifty one 455 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: against lefties, all right, So let's go down a little further, 456 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: all right. Nope, he's got a seventy eight WRC plus 457 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: against lefties in his career. Yep, this is not really 458 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: a platoon, ladies and gentlemen. Just because he is right handed, 459 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,239 Speaker 1: that doesn't really mean a whole lot. So it's not 460 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: really even that much of a platoon at the end 461 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: of the day. But if you're looking at it from 462 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: a lefty right at point of view, you've got two 463 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: platoons going on in the infield, at second base and 464 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: third base. That just feels weird. It feels like a 465 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: lot going on. I don't know, you need more there. 466 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: We'll see. Could there be more at the Red Sox 467 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: look to add I think you could. I will also 468 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: say this, keep your eyes out for the bullpen. I 469 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: do wonder if Danny Colomb could be a possibility. I 470 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with Justin Wilson. Last time 471 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: we heard about him, there was thoughts reports of him 472 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: maybe retiring at some point, But the Red Sox have 473 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: been linked to a guy like Danny Klom. They do 474 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: have I think some in house options you know that 475 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: you could turn to. But I could still see them 476 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: adding something here for the bullpen. We'll see, but one 477 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,239 Speaker 1: more time, I'll say it. I'm still wondering if they 478 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: could add something to this lineup. We will see. But 479 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, that is it for this episode of 480 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: Monster Territory. But we do have a super chat. What 481 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: do we got here? Uh, Derek Irish ten twenty three, 482 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: What do we got here? Dallar ninety nine, super chat? 483 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend, Ikf Romy platoon. I think you're 484 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: looking at I think you're late at second base. You're 485 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: looking at David Hamilton and Romy and I think a 486 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: third you're looking at Ikf and Meyer. I think that's 487 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: the way it's set up right now. That's the way 488 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: I see it. We'll see justin in the chat, hoping 489 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: a huge move is coming. Ikf is nice for the depth, 490 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: clearly not enough if he's starting, yeah, I mean, well 491 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer is going to be starting so right now. 492 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going up against the righty on 493 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: opening day, you got Meyer and Hamilton in the lineup, 494 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: So it's kind of where you're at. Yeah, so, and 495 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: if you're going up against lefties, you've got Ikf and 496 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: Romey in the lineup, so kind of where it's at. 497 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: KF is not really gonna give you a whole lot. 498 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. So I did see that, Jeff 499 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: the I did see a report today the Pirates could 500 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: be possibly talking to the Mets about Brett Batty or 501 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: Mark Viento's I don't know, t d uh will the Robbie? 502 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: Will the Diamondbacks take Meyer and Duran for Marte? I 503 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: don't think Marte is going anywhere. I'm still a man 504 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: that likes to dream. Could could could tell Marte still 505 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: be a possibility. I don't think so. I hope so, 506 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say probably not. From ress X eighteen, 507 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: Matt Shaw, I mean, I don't know, man, I've been 508 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: saying it from the beginning. I think the Cubs their 509 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: best course of action is to keep both Horner and 510 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: Shaw because Horner is a free agent after next year, 511 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: and i'd imagine he'd like to hit the market. He's 512 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: been playing very well, and if he ends up leaving, well, 513 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: then Shaw he's your second basement long term, you know. So, 514 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: and if you but trading Horner, I think would be crazy. 515 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: The guy just had an awesome year, so Cubs MVP 516 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: in my opinion. I don't know. So if you trade him, 517 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean you're I don't know, You're just making the 518 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: team worse unless Shaw can just all of a sudden 519 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: turn into a superstar. So I don't know. I don't know. Man, 520 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: we will see a A Z E X four four three. 521 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: Paradis is still the best option. I mean, listen, you know, 522 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: But then again, it's like if you bring in Paradus. 523 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: Let's say you make a trade, well you got parade 524 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: you would have Paradis at third, Meyer at second. Well, 525 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: then Romey would be the platoon at second. So then 526 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: what happens with David Hamilton? And now I KF, I mean, 527 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: does Hamilton just go back to Wooster? Do you trade 528 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: him somewhere? And then I KF is just in that 529 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: utility role. I still think you could you could do that. 530 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, again, I still think there's other there's possibilities 531 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: still to add to this team. We'll see, But everybody, 532 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm out of here. That's all we got. If you 533 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 1: kind of the way out.
