  • what to expect form trot nixon

    can trot nixon hit 30 homers this comming year. Will he improve on last year? What can the redsox expect from him?

  • #2
    I expect another 15-30 home run season. Why? He has a good bat, but enough power to get a double, but don't expect a big home run season (he came CLOSE in '02 and '03 to get 30HR) and from looking at his past few years.

    I hope he hits 30 or so home runs and doesn't get limited to 48 games like in 2004 (stupid injuries!), but as long as he stays healthy, hits the ball, and keeps his sharp defense, I don't see why everyone is overlooking this good player. He earns the most underrated Red Sox player in their lineup.

      I like Trot, but I expect him to be sidelined by various injuries at various points throughout the season. He's spent most of his career battling injuries, especially during the past 2 seasons, and I don't expect that to improve much at this point. I also don't think he's capable of 30 homeruns at this point, but if healthy enough, 20-25 is certainly possible. Another question is, how often will he play against lefties? He's been pretty mediocre in his career against lefties, and sat a lot last year when the team faced a good lefty.

            Consider how fragile he is and with a developing weakness against LHPers, BoSox fans should be thrilled with 400AB's, 15HR's, and 80 rbi's.

              I dont think ANYONE should expect anything but 2 or 3 long trips to the DL and him losing his starting job in the process and his welcome in Boston. Trot will not be a redsox starting Rfer past the trading deadline.
              The 2006 Boston Red Sox are better on paper then both the 2004 world championship team, and the 2005 team.
              Predictions:
              Josh Beckett wins 23 Games
              Mike Lowell has a bounce back season
              Kevin Youkillis will be exposed as a bench player, nothing more.
              Curt Schilling will have his worst season, ever.
              Coco Crisp will create more runs then Damon did in 2005.
              Trot Nixon will be on the DL 3 times.
              Keith Foulke will lose Closers job to Hanson by June.


              And the Boston Red Sox will win 99 games

                I hear you. He's had some big at bats, but he never seems to produce up to expectations. I'm going to refrain from using the "S" word, but his drop-off combined with certain stress injuries suggest he is going through an enhanced cool down. I'm hopeful he'll bounce back this year, but not certain.

                  I dont think Nixon was on steriods, persay, but some sort of drug certainly was in his system.

                    I've long supsected that Trot might have a connection to the "S" word. His types of injuries, going back a few years now, are those lingering types in joints and tendons and ligaments and muscles, that seem to be linked to use of the "S" word. I've also had similar suspicions about Nomar for a number of years now for the exact same reasons. I could really be offbase, but the game's in such a state now that it's hard not to suspect certain players when they suffer from frequent and nagging injuries of tendons and joints and muscles.

                      Did you know Nixon only missed 38 games last season? Not horrible, but not great. Of course, he didn't start during certain games due to the pitcher being a left hander. Nixon has average between 120-130 games during his career outside the injury plague 2004 season. He's really not as fragile compare to bigger injury plagued players like Nomar Garicapara.

                        Actually, Trot was better last season against lefties than he was the season before.

                          I agree that Trot is not as fragile as Nomar, but he certainly wasn't 100% much of last year and had a surprising drop in power. If we don't see the return of the Trot Nixon of old, I hope we can see a re-tooled Trot Nixon who can make a more consistent contribution. I just wish he were better against lefty pitchers.

                            In 85 ABs last season, Trot hit .224 against lefties. And you want more?!

                              Hopefully Trot will be healthy, although I think it is highly likely that he spends at least two stints on the DL. If healthy I could see .300/.380/18/85. Power I think will never be up where it was a couple years ago, but should still be sufficient. His overall average will be higher since Mohr will probably be getting all the LHP starts...
