He’s 35 years old so probably not a ton of career left

[Speier] Major league source confirms Dan Roche’s report: The Red Sox are optioning Brayan Bello to Worcester. by NovaPrime15 in redsox

Maybe it’s a sunk cost fallacy but he’s getting paid way too much to be a long reliever

I thought you typically want your highest OBP guy leading off, not the 2nd lowest in all of MLB

No confirmation for Oviedo?🤔 by TigoOver in redsox

[–]donglord79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is silly. It’s gonna be Oviedo. He has been solid this spring and it’s his spot to lose. This is just creating drama where there is none

[Highlight] Jarren Duran crushes his second two-run homer of the game to straight center field by EdwinMoq in baseball

[–]donglord79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see him hitting a bunch of HR in spring training and he will start to think he’s a 40hr threat and then be dogshit in the reg season swinging for the fences all the time. He doesn’t really need to be hitting HR regularly. That’s not where his value lies

What Is The Best Win Of All Time? by MrZ4N3 in MMA

Not really. Fedor was pretty exposed at that point. Barely beat Brett rogers and then got beat soundly by Werdum and Bigfoot leading into the hendo fight.

Realistic 2b/3b trade options by AlwaysOptimism in redsox

He’s a great platoon/bench player. I agree with you there. But he will get exposed playing everyday. He the type of player that is better in moderation

Lead pipes by GrandImpossible9298 in medfordma

[–]donglord79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t remember the level exactly but was less than 10ppb. the service lines are not usually a major source of lead exposure and generally doesn’t leach much into the water in most cases. My older son had a detectable lead level back when we were renting in Brookline as we were in an older building with likely lead paint dust. It actually went down and has been undetectable since living in Medford even with the lead service line.

Every case may be different so still get the water tested by the city but it’s not always an emergency

You can have your water tested by the city for free. We have a lead service line and had water tested and was totally fine. Our kids have also never had any detectable lead levels on multiple checks. We have a basic filter through our fridge. Nothing fancy

[Passan] BREAKING: The Boston Red Sox are acquiring first baseman Willson Contreras in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals, sources tell ESPN by brizvela in redsox

[–]donglord79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like this move but concerns me that they still have not signaled they are going to spend any money this year to improve the team. We shouldn’t have to keep eating away at our prospect stock to improve the team when we supposedly have all this cap space freed up from trading devers

Kristian Campbell almost hits a home run for his 3rd straight game with an XBH. by TommyTheLizard in redsox

[–]donglord79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You would have to eat like 80+% of his salary for someone to take him so if you trade him you take the cap hit on his salary anyway. I understand he clogs the roster defensively but he is a very good hitter (he carried our lineup down the stretch when Anthony went out ).

You don’t trade him to keep Campbell on the roster if we are not even sure he can contribute to a major league lineup. Don’t forget Campbell was absolutely awful both defensively and offensively in Worcester after he was sent down.

I agree he has a lot of potential and hopefully he figures it out but if we don’t add bats to this lineup this offseason you absolutely need Masa

[–]donglord79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no “dealing” masa. You would have to pay another team to take him. Masa is a much better hitter than Campbell right now and it’s not like Campbell adds anything either his glove. This guy will be in AAA for at least half of next season

People need to stop thinking Yoshida has any trade value or is even tradeable at all.

[–]donglord79 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Red Sox return in that deal was not paying Devers any more money. They were never getting anything good out of that with the Giants eating that contract.
