If swag = last place team

 

[The Guid]

I'd rather JBJ than Victorino in center.
 
Also, gonna be weird seeing Lester in another uniform.

Jackie Bradley sucks, never gonna be anything in the MLB

If swag = last place team

we are in last regardless, might as well have a fun lineup

Jackie Bradley sucks, never gonna be anything in the MLB

 
Outside of his arm+fielding, I agree.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He's unbelievable in the field. Everyone in South Carolina hypes him up too much though.

Jackie Bradley sucks, never gonna be anything in the MLB

he can be a good bench player to come in to pinch run and play D


He can't hit tho

 

[Phil The Thrill]

For all the hype he gets, he sure as hell be better than a pinch runner. 
 
This is the guy everyone wants to replace Ellsbury.

Lester ain't goin back to Boston

At hitting, sure. But if that's the lineup (and especially if they can pull a Giancarlo Stanton trade out of their ass), they can afford to have Bradley at the bottom of the lineup. His defense would be worth it.

 

[BrewCrewFan]

Like it for both. Cespedes should do well in Boston. 

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Cespedes is going to hit that green monster a lot. 

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Lester ain't goin back to Boston

He retweeted a few people that said "see you on the Sox in 2015". After the NBA off-season that's practically a slam dunk

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I'm still not buying it unfortunately. He'll have to go for 5 years/100 million.
 
We won't do the 144 million. Not after the Crawford shit show.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Haha, well I was kidding but I could see him returning. There's no way he gets that money in Oakland, so they basically gave up Cespedes for 2 to 3 months of Lester
