Will be their DH... Thought they'd REALLY blow it out today and sign a bopper but they're trying to save on luxury tax now.

I wish they would've traded Bucholtz and his contract and signed one of the big boys like Encarnacion or Joey Bats.

Moreland as a LH bat will rake at Fenway. I wish him well.

With Mitch and Holland gone that leaves only Elvis, Colby Lewis and Beltre on the team from the World Series runs

JBJ plays CF and Mookie plays RF.

Also, it's expected that neither Koji nor Zeigler will be back. Not sure about Taz, but he was shaky as hell in the second half.

5th spot should be between Buchholz, Pomeranz and Rodriguez.

It will safely be one of the top 5 offenses in baseball.

Yea trading Papis 163 wRC+ for Moreland's 87 wRC+ should put them safely there

Hopefully one of the bottom of the rotation guys pitches well enough that they can trade for a big bat at some point.

Right. Like I said in another thread, you're not just losing Papi's actual production, you're also lose his positive effects on the guys around him and the entire lineup in general.

Moreland is a weird one. He'll suck dick 5/8's of the season, but for the other part he'll be RED fricking hot.
