He has said all the nice things, but even when Puig was with the Dodgers and they were in spring training in the same complex he spent zero time with him, and it isn't like these guys don't have any free time in AZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember where I ready it. Glad the rumor is put to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Puig and Mazara are similar enough that I’m glad they picked the guy who very much seems to be a good ass dude 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Interesting how Abreu commented on this. Abreu has become an unofficial adviser to Kenny and Rick with players he knows. Hopefully Abreu pushes the Sox and Yoan Moncada a little further towards reaching a deal on an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wanted Puig and a LH corner OF/DH, rather than Encarnacion. Mazara would have been a good pairing with Puig and Jimenez, IMO. Or Tsutsugo. Just to have another DH option that isn't solely a DH or 1B. [EDIT] I also don't like having BOTH corner OFers being below average defenders, forcing a larger role onto a AAAA type like Engel; I think Leury is adequate in a reserve role for CF and IF, but doesn't provide enough offense for a corner OFer. Let's hope that they've made the right choice. Edited February 23, 2020 by Two-Gun Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wanted to wrap up Puig and Brock and just go Tim Anderson on everybody. Jose knew better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation: (1) Puig isn't old enough yet. (2) Mazara is our 2020 Ellis Burke catch lightening in a bottle project. (3) Y'all asking too much from an owner who's mission is to keep the base perineally thirsty. I swear if the Sox and Bulls ever get taken over by affluent, dynamic ownership, it'll be among the most joyous events of my life.
