Did you read the article?

Agree. I don’t see any of those 3 teams making noise this season. If the Sox can’t beat them out, they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.

If the season ended today, there’d be 4 playoff teams from the AL Central. Wild.

No kidding right. If what they’re saying is true, this virus will have an enormous societal impact for years to come. We’re going to see elevated levels of unemployment for years, business closures in mass, and a major shift in how we form households (many more stay at home parents). We will also see a lot more home schooling and, if remote learning is retained for an extended period, a major overhaul of the public school system.

Did Yelich lose a bunch of weight? He looks a lot thinner to me this year.

I see you’re coming around to my preseason statement that Robert will be a better version of Acuna 😉

And the 2006 lineup was excellent. It just didn’t have the same depth. SSS but the Sox currently lead the AL in runs scored, batting average and OPS.

This lineup is more balanced top to bottom than the 2006 team.

Did he really? My god, what a horrific trade that would be for the Sox.

I’ve always thought of Madrigal’s most likely outcome as Placido Polanco. Placido wasn’t a “superstar” by any means but he was a damn fine ballplayer.

And Dansby Swanson and Mickey Moniak were recent first overall picks. What’s your point?

Everyone talks about Madrigal having a low ceiling. I look at it the other way. The only thing he doesn’t do well is hit for power. If he starts hitting 30-40 doubles and 10-15 homers in a few years ala Whit Merrifield, he’s an absolute monster.
