Rumor: Holliday to Boston

[Mephistopheles]

im serious. fwiw: apparently this is a legit rumor coming out of beantown's airwaves.

 

weird.

[17 Seconds]

Link or more info plz

 

Where would he play?

[nilodnayr]

Bay, Drew, Holliday...that would be quite the OF. I guess that would take them out of the Tex running.

RF, Drew gets moved to CF.

I didn't think the acquisition made much sense from Beane's perspective... I guess I just didn't see the endgame.

I can't imagine them moving Drew to CF

Then you don't have a very good imagination.

 

Theres been talk of moving Drew to CF all offseason (if they acquired Tex).

yeah this could have been the radio guy speculating. i didnt hear it but thought id pass it along.

[OleMissCub]

If true, I bet he'd poop his pants when he found out. Playing in the Coliseum would have been a death sentence for him.

Just seems kind of weird given the way they baby him to keep him healthy.

 

Wait, who would move to RF if they got Teixiera?

[Mephistopheles]

they have david ortiz and mike lowell, so you figure that out.

I would guess Youkilis, if Lowell is healthy enough to play 3rd at the start of the season.

or you could just answer me since it doesn't make sense. Ortiz is a given as DH and if they had Tex at first they'd have Lowell/Youk available for only one spot (3B) meaning one of those guys would move to RF? Obviously my first thought was Youkilis to RF but can he really play right field?

[Mephistopheles]

can manny really play lf?

[UMFan83]

Weird, I went to 3 Red Sox message boards and didn't see this rumor mentioned. I'm not saying I don't believe you, I just think its weird that Red Sox message boards haven't picked up on it yet.

[17 Seconds]

can manny really play lf?

 

Yes.

 

That's kind of a weak answer to that question. It's like someone asking "Can Bengie Molina play center field?" and then getting that response. Come on. I never asked if Youkilis could play right field well, I asked if he could actually play there every day. He's played less than 9 innings there his entire major league career.

I'm not seeing anything about this anywhere, be it Red Sox or Athletics boards.

 

I'm calling shenanigans.

You're on a roll tonight. I suggest you lock it! C'mon...c'mon. You know you want to.
