bigbadbuff23835 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 It’s stil unfathomable to me what Luis Severino has become. 0-8 with an 8+ era in 2016 to being in CY young talks. Unbelievable, and his home park is Yankee Stadium lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked him up right before his first start, and held onto him while he was on the DL. Best fantasy move I've made in a while. Dude gets by essentially using two FBs too...

If/when he comes back, anything he might provide offensively should be considered a bonus. And as I was typing this JBJ hit another rocket up the middle. If he can provide 4 weeks worth of offense like this leading up to the trade deadline the Sox should deal him for whatever they can get. Swihart would be a pretty big upgrade offensively, and I bet he could play a fine LF at Fenway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid hides the ball incredibly well. Only throws 90-91 MPH but batters don't pick up the ball til late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly has Swihart done to show he'd be an upgrade? He's currently slashing .158/.220/.184 and his career average extrapolated to 162 games (He's played 144 so far) is .249/.310/.347, which is worse than JBJ's, and his peripherals don't suggest he's much better than that. He's a replacement-level offensive talent without a position. There's plenty to be said for moving JBJ and personally I'm in favor of it. But giving his at-bats to Swihart isn't what I have in mind in the aftermath. I'd much rather give them to Holt or even give Sam Travis an extended look if Pedroia doesn't return.

Well, yeah, I just think Swihart would be an upgrade. Dudes bounced from position to position, from MLB to AAA, been hurt. Pretty unfair to judge him based on what he's done, he's got the tools to have a considerably better bat than JBJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, what evidence do you have that he's a good hitter? His career OPS at the minor league level was .727 in 1716 plate appearances. There was, at one point, reason to believe that he'd grow into whatever raw talent he might have had, but he's 26 years old. If he was ever going to be anything better than a AAAA type of player, he'd have shown some hint of that by now. And yeah, I know he's had injuries. But sometimes injuries retard a player's development irreparably. It sucks but it's true. Look what happened to Ryan Kalish (who, by the way, was a considerably better hitter in the minors than Swihart). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all can trade for Domingo Santana. I'd take CJ Chatham for him straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying to replace JBJ, if you trade him. Fine, Brett Phillips. EDIT - Or maybe even Eric Thames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
