    But there's no path to winning now. It's totally foreclosed.

     At absolute best, they could win 70 and even that is highly unlikely, so if Pedro thinks Nastrini will help him save his job he's wrong.

    The only reason Pedro wouldn't be fired is JR doesn't want to pay 2 managers at once.

    There isn't, which makes the way they are operating ever more stupid, and punts the future ever farther down the road. There is no quick fix for the hole they are in, no matter how much shortsighted wishful thinking they engage in.

    We have an owner unwilling to pay for pitching unless a young player is dumb enough to sign a JR special extension. 

    When we have a promising young pitcher we need to squeeze every year out of him that we can because if he's any good he will leave in FA. 

    A smart FO with such restraints placed on them should operate this way. It's an easy call for a guy who isn't exactly knocking down the door for a promotion. But we know Pedro's M.O. prioritizes winning over development and the org is desperate to win now the cheapest way possible, so here we are.

    What in the world are you talking about?  Your need to constantly carry water for this org has you spitting more word vomit than Pedro Grifol.

    Brooks "West Eddy" Boyer over here...

    Why aren't they keeping Nastrini down for service time?

    It would be dumb to have him on the OD roster. It's not like they are going to win anything either way.

    Because they honestly believe they will win games? And think they are way smarter than they really are?

    IDK.

    As DeJong goes, goes the Sox?  I guess he is going to suck and so are the Sox so this definitely isn't the worst thread greg has made.

    Too bad the Sox are going to suck ass with or without him.

    Anyone know why they don’t have anything scheduled Monday or Tuesday? B games at least?

    This is pretty standard, no?

    So weird that we have been making our cuts like one or two at a time.

    Pedro can't make decisions and/or can't choose which bad options to keep around.

    Opt-out decisions are due now for Shaw, Leone, Chavez, Keller, Moustakas, and Pillar. 

    Pillar and Mous are making the team. Keller, Leone, and Chavez I would guess stick around. Shaw too, although he really should be launched from a catapult into Bubbly Creek.

    "We brought in so many low level players we don't know which ones are worse"

    When all of the additions suck ass, its hard to tell much of a difference.

    No wonder you love Getz’s offseason.  You apparently love crappy overpaid players.  Straw has had an OPS under .600 in both of the last two seasons.  Yikes.

    24: $4.5M, 25: $6M, 26: $7M, 27: $8M club option ($1.75M buyout), 28: $8.5M club option ($500,000 buyout)

    At least let him clear waivers first.

    Nah man, these guys want to play on the FASTs train so elite starting pitchers will bang down the door to play for Getz & Co.

     

    Just because you're an idiot Pedro and don't know a good player from a horse's ass, doesn't mean you boss put together a good squad...
