Jet/BosoxFan Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Let me see if I support this or not. I guess I can support this, only if Snow is to get the regular at bats as the 1st baseman and if Youkilis/Petagine are used as trade bait to acquire a SS (if we dont get Tejada) or CF. I dont wanna see some 1st base platoon like Millar/Minky/Olerud unfold like it has over the past 2 years. I love Snow defensively and I hate the fact that he lacks power at a power position. JT Snow coming in lets me think the Stealth Ninjas are saving a little dough on 1B which I fully support. Overpaying for a 1B is just silly. CF and SS...those are positions you should overpay for! By all means, do it up! They were right not to go crazy for Paul Konerko and I would hate to have some waste of DNA like Jason Giambi* on my team! Plus, if Lowell sucks again this year and Youks doesnt get traded, Tito can throw KY to 3B, sit Lowell, and let Snow play 1B. I say do it up, Stealth Ninjas.

Blackout Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Of course, all along I thought boston stood in desperate need of an aged first-baseman, so they could have a three-man platoon there -- perhaps four men, just to be on the safe side (Snow, Youk, Lowell, Graff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say do it up, Stealth Ninjas. I see the Bosox followed your advice with Damon. To the letter. Also, I believe that you can use a 1B who will give you 35+ HRs, 100+ RBIs and hit around .300, with an OBP in the .425 range, and be among the league leaders in slugging. Then again, maybe you would rather finish 3rd or 4th in the Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
