Where’s buckets of semien to weigh in all over everything

Oh! Whoever coined I have hurt feelings Giolito deserves whatever Soxtalk fortune and glory is available.

Linestink was great. the evolution of JFP was pretty funny too

Absolutely. The La Pantera thing reminds me of Hawk at the end of his days trying to force some nicknames for Abreu. Has the same cringe feel to me. LuBob flies out like home cookin

Nobody is sold. He’s in the minor leagues still.

He knew he brought in old journeymen though. I think the why is more interesting than the what.

What about maybe they did right by him, whatever that deal was, to let him ride out the offseason and see if he could secure a long term deal. He didn’t get what he wanted so he came back? there could be more nuance to this than you are suggesting

These dudes will never be remembered. Just collecting paychecks. I fully expect Moncada to have an awesome season if he feels he needs another $100M

There’s like 1500 innings that need to be thrown this year. If him and Kopech get over 200 of those I’d call that a major success.

This roster is full of dudes ready to ball out and try to win. So optics wise, if they draft Caleb, you have to consider not only Caleb’s development, shot at OROY etc…but you have to do right by that locker room. I think there’s a lot to consider about who starts the season as QB1. Do you just hand it to Caleb and take the lumps? I think at this point it’s Bagent. Caleb would have to outplay him pretty significantly to get the buy in from everybody right? That’s not a given.

Big day for my QB1 Bagent

Eh. What about just making a stand and saying the best 26 guys come north. If Thorpe is in there he’s in there. Totally merit based for everything.

I hope too brother. What are some of your favorite hopes over the years that never did a thing? Alec Hansen had me thinking we were really building a juggernaut. Thought Alex Call had a real shot too

lol who are the last dudes to actually become something for us? Codi Heuer briefly? That one seemed like a nice job at the time

There’s gotta be something really special about his command though that those guys never sniffed

Well it sure is a different looking group of players from the disaster core, TLR + Colson thing we had going for years. That group made me quit being a fan of baseball after decades. Maybe these guys will bring me back

I feel like San Diego is just going to flip him at the deadline for Cowser and Mayo

How is one of the top pitchers in the game at a ridiculously low price with extra control not worth top prospects?

Funniest post I’ve maybe ever seen on here. I hope its greatness doesn’t just get lost in a 45000 page thread.

I don’t ever watch baseball anymore so I missed Evan Carter in the playoffs. How did he look in YOUR eyes? Imagine that’s our Texas target

How’s Joey Headlines doing this spring? Can we let him loose from his new team with this Cease performance?

Look no further than that staged video introduction call to Eloy last year. These guys would die for Pedro

Looking at Spencer Jones’ stats and fangraphs’ top 100… seems crazy to me that he’s ranked ahead of our other target Coby Mayo who has destroyed upper level pitching. Seems like Jones is all hope and projection. He barely played any AA and didn’t dominate A+. Why so vaunted at this stage?

In reality you can’t see 100 home runs. On paper potential world though… 10d for 10 Moncada 25 Robert 40 Eloy 40 Vaughn 25 Fletcher 10 Not in a million years but that’s what we should get if life didn’t suck

Holy s%*# what the heck is this- a bold idea?
