How is unfair to compare our last 3rd baseman deal to this one? This guy's a poor fielding, aging journeyman. I don't hate the deal, but I sure as he'll don't like it. But hey, he doesn't strike out. Teal implied.

I'm a bit puzzled by some of the skepticism. Nothing to not like about him for $4M per. He is a style of hitter we are sorely lacking, and though he isn't the sexy move to compete offensively that we always hope for, he makes us better immediately in a position of weakness.

Guy hits for contact, still relatively young, and hit .325 for the Rays while Longoria was injured at 3B. This is a good pickup.

Yankees fans are freaking out, Sox beat them out for Kepp and Arizona just signed Eric Chavez,
Youk is still in play for them, but as of right now their opening day starter for 3rd base could possibly be.... Jayson Nix. ![]()

Probably less due to money than a question of who'd sign there knowing they'd be benched when A-Rod comes back.

I believe he is very slow. Very few stolen bses or doubles in his career. Sounds like a good contact hitter but he Dunn and Paulie may really clog the bases.
Also I thought he just got injured???? |

Dbacks getting Chaves on a 1 year deal.
I would have preferred that move. |

He did get hurt, broken leg, but will be fine for ST. As I recall he had a serious injury with Houston too that led him to miss a partial season, so that could be a concern moving forward. His bat is worth the risk, IMO. |

It should be noted that Keppinger plays SS and 2B as well as 3B. While he has likely been signed to be the everyday 3B for the Sox, this signing could also be a precursor to a trade.

How do you figure he's a poor fielder? From what I've read he's solid at all the IF positions and more than solid at third, though I have to admit I haven't seen much of his play.

Not sure if I like the length of the deal, but that's why I'm not the GM. If he's as good a contact hitter as Youk, I'll be happy.

Well, he's a far superior contact hitter to the Youk of the last few years, so you should be ecstatic.

Just going by what I read. He plays 3 positions, but isn't good at any. I do agree that he's the type of hitter the team can use. 3 years is just excessive. Apparently they approached Chavez, but he didn't want to play here. Which makes me dislike the deal less.
