Eduardo Nunez Returns to Red Sox

[PWNdroia]

Status quo for Red Sox fans.

 

[A.E]

I’m curious to see how his physical goes. That knee may not be tip top. Regardless, I still think not making a big signing this offseason pays off in the long run for the Sox. They managed to win back-to-back AL East titles with one of baseball’s most incompetent managers.

 

[catman]

Nunez is a serviceable player at 4 positions.  He can play 2B, SS, 3B, and left.  He may not every be an all star again, but he can hold down the position for a week or 2.

 

[PWNdroia]

I like the deal.  I bet he won't rake like last year, but like catman said, he's serviceable.  And knowing that Pedroia's best friend is the DL, we'll probably be seeing Nunez a lot.

 

[A.E]

The problem I have with Nunez is he’s not great defensively. He can move around the infield but he won’t be as good as Marrero would be at 2B. Not sure the Red Sox can afford a hole a 2B, considering how weak at 3B Devers is.

dude marerro fucking sucks

personally id start the following lineups if i were boston (lefty/righty)

1. RF Mookie Betts
2. LF Andrew Benintendi
3. 1B Hanley Ramirez / DH Hanley Ramirez
4. DH Rafael Devers / 3B Rafael Devers
5. SS Xander Bogaerts
6. 3B Eduardo Nunez / 1B Mitch Moreland
7. CF Jackie Bradley Jr / 2B Eduardo Nunez
8. C Christian Vazquez
9. 2B Dustin Pedroia / CF Jackie Bradley Jr

but i doubt cora has the balls to bench pedroia like that, but he cant fucking hit anymore

Marrero doesn’t have a bat but he’s better defensively.

 

[PWNdroia]

Marrero isn't just bad at hitting, he's awful. You can't start him over Nunez.

defense means shit when your team has no offense
 
look at the lineup i posted above. 3-5 in the lineup had less than 65 RBI's on the season, including a 21 year old rookie. the team needs offense, not marginally better defense

Agreed

Red Sox will have to manufacture runs and rely on their very expensive rotation, if they're going to get into the postseason. This type of baseball requires sound defense.

If you watched them last year you would know that offense is the place where we came up short.
