Let's All Chip In With Our Thoughts on Xander Bogaerts

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 12 2015 04:02 PM

It seems like Red Sox Nation considers Betts untouchable but are at least willing to talk about SS Xander Bogaerts. 22 years old, and started 4.6 WARs last year. 320/355/421//776 Bats R. He BABIPPED at .372, with 33 infield hits (out of 196 total), but he was a singles/batting average star with 7 HRs and 35 doubles. Plays a good short.

He had that great post-season as a fresh out-of-the-box player in that surprise Boston run in 2013 -- then was handed a job for the coming season and pretty much bombed. But that fall was made to look a bit more dramatic that it probably was. Had he not arrived with such a flourish in late 2013 his 2014 mess would have just been seen as the rookie growing pains season that it essentially was rather than a step backwards. I'm on board with trying to upgrade SS as the biggest step we could make this winter and trying to pry this guy out of Beantown would be one of the better moves we could make (better than most of the proposed moves w/the Cubs that have been floated over the last year or so).

OK, Betts and Bogaerts for Harvey, Nimmo and Cecilliani(or Reynolds). Get it done. And if they throw in Schilling's bloody sock, we can throw in Bobby Parnell, too. Later

Can we get that one undone?

My thoughts: I don't know who he is

Of course they wouldn't. It would be Betts OR Bogaerts but not both of them.

It was a WATP, and this is the season for them, isn't it? Why not ask for the moon? Let's find out how much they really want Harvey. Its all for fun. Later

Let's talk about Xander Bogaerts in this thread.

Would they take a Wheeler-centric package for him? I really don't know anything about the guy. I think that means he will end up in our bullpen this year.

He's from Aruba. I like Aruba. Therefore, we should get him. Would solve the shortstop problem, but Sox will be asking for frightful things in return.

Sidney Ponson was from Aruba and we all know how THAT turned out. He punched a judge after kidnapping and murdering that girl from South Carolina. The Mets don't need that kind of negative pub.
