Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5297397, member: 1414"] Nobody trashed Mookie. That was the big mistake, not paying him. Fantastic player. Never heard anything bad about him. Not paying Bogaerts was absolutely the right move. The mistake was not trading him and losing him for nothing, but they kept him to placate the fans after the Mookie trade. Same reason they extended Devers, despite his liabilities on defense. Nobody "trashed" Bogaerts, we just knew he wasn't all that good. Devers is a hell of a hitter, but a guy that won't play the field has limited value. He's not a leader and I think that's the issue with all the young guys. Bregman is a leader. [/QUOTE]
