The pipeline says he's 5'6" in the box and the write up says 5'9". I would think hes closer to 5'9". He doesnt look smaller then Madrigal in those videos above.

Ty Schmit from McAfee show says its done with Yankees for $326 over 9 Years. No idea how credible he is.

I dont discount that he's not in the Sox future. But I tend to be on the side that 2020 (COVID year) and 2022 were his only bad years while everyone around here acts like he's been a waste of roster space his entire career. I think in some ways he gets an awful reputation around here for things like "all he does is party" when I'm not sure that anyone around here actually knows that he case. He made music in the off season and everyone equated that to he doesnt give a s%*# about baseball which I think is an unfair assumption as well.

I believe it was mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he was finally feeling better. He came off the DL for his back on July 25th the last time. Which does line up with this....

Its almost like a bad back can really screw you up. There was no way to know this though. They've only being playing baseball for over a century. Maybe when they pass 2 centuries someone will figure out if a bad back affects play or not.

107.5 off the bat. Almost his hardest hit ball of the year.

It's incredible that they feel the need to play him at all, especially in the outfield.

Calling him a moron is probably one of the nicer adjectives that you can use to describe him. Also, he doesn’t have any sources. Just because he works for the score doesn’t mean he has any idea what happens in that organization. I can promise you from experience that just because you work in radio it doesn’t not translate to being in the know about anything. You’re more likely to hear personal opinions or inner workings talk then you are about clubhouse or players. Also, I will add that while everyone likes to say how horrible the organization is from an on field perspective, which is totally fine to do, there are some great people who work there and they do treat people incredibly well.

So this is a thread to complain in just for the gratification of complaining some more. Got it.

He was an All Star last year too.

He also sprained his MCL and probably came back way too soon.

Do you think that this is the Tim Anderson that whatever team he's on next will get for the rest of his career or do you think its more likely that he's better next year? Its unfortunate that he's struggled but if I had to bet, I'd bet he'll be much better next year whether he's with the Sox or not. And Moncada's back has absolutely killed him this year. It's unfortunate because it killed any chance he had at a normal season. He will probably require disc surgery or being completely shut down which the Sox refuse to do. It's unfortunate more then anything.

I would argue that they have MLB starting caliber players but the construction of said players is poor. Robert, Eloy, Anderson, Bennentendi, and even Moncada are starting players on almost every team in baseball in some capacity. Just because the sum of the parts hasn't worked out doesn't mean all the parts are garbage.

Kid has played in 41 games and has 138 major league at bats. Everyone here is so quick to give up on anyone because of how the last couple of years have gone. There's no patience for anyone anymore. Everyone on this team is either someone that needs to be traded or DFA'd according to people here.
