    WEll Payton and Reyes (if he signs). There's  2 depth pieces. Kind of makes the idea of Stone Garrett and Arestides Acquino look a lot better . Butt both Payton and Reyes will be minor league contracts.

    Nats signed Garrett to a MLB contract so slightly more money. Aquino signed with Chunichi Dragons of the NPBL. so he probably got a much better offer. My 2 guys had big power and Aquino a great arm . Aquino, 28, RH, Very good fielder, one of the best arms in baseball, fast, really good jumps. This all easy to find on baseball Savant.  .7 fWar in 80 games with the Reds in 2022 based almost purely from defense. Hit tool lacking but basically in his MLB career hit a HR every 16.73 AB's.

    If you believe in WAR then in 80 games he had more fWar  than Vaughn and Sheets combined in 258 games for a  -.3 fWar.

    Garrett ,27, 6 yrs of control, all his options, is fast and hit HR's off Cease and Rodon last year in a 27 game sample size with the Dbacks but he is RH.

    Reyes is 28, SH, no power , nice arm but not a particularly good fielder. Stone Garrett rejected by the Dbacks who have a ton of good young OFs. Reyes 54 percentile rank sprint speed . Garrett 83rd percentile. Couldnt get Garretts baseball Savant info on his fielding so I assume his time in the OF with the dbacks wasn't enough of a sample size yet.

    Just another example of  minor acquisitions need to cost as little as possible and limiting the quality of depth and losing on the margins.

    My picks provided speed and power and very good defense, upside and plus power while the Reyes contract isn't official yet the Sox 2 guys have no outstanding skills at all. My guys are RH though Payton is LF and Reyes a SH but on the margins quality means more. I would expect the main acquisition to the OF to be LH.

    Bogart's gone,red sox desperate and willing to spend and deal prospects,hahn laughing

    Sorry bro, I can't spend 15 bucks on your food when I only have 7 dollars.  Did you know the gyro plate has a side Greek salad and that cucumber yogurt so it's still good value. 

    JR would also like to point out that you can also sit at the booth/table for free while you enjoy your meal, which is an underrated and unappreciated benefit. 

    Will jason benetti be there?if so i agree hes a funny dude

    Yeah, years past it was always Sunday-Thursday on the MLB calendar but you don't really count Sunday. I did notice the draft is at 4 so that's at least better than being in the morning.

    Edit: not much a full day considering the draft is at 2PM SD time.

    Im back what i missed
