I'd like to see him fight Jake Burger.

1700 PA's. He's just not a major league hitter.

What's he supposed to do? Try harder? Grind more? Run through some walls?

I'm sure he's well aware that he's been a failure and his career is slipping away.

I don't think the players or Getz "deserve" to be embarrassed. Getz is taking over a team that refuses to spend money and it's coming off a failed rebuild where nearly all the assets lost their value on the trade market. He has very little to work with. Even Grifol is being paid to be a punching bag while knowing this is his only shot at being an MLB manager.

The real Jake Burger is a 28 year old, .750 OPS, below average defender. Even if he wasnt traded, he wouldn't have been on the team by the time the Sox are ready to compete. He was worth a lottery ticket starter. If it doesn't work out, it's still not a bad trade.

I can't figure out how Thorpe projects, but after watching his change up over dozens of hitters, it's the best pitch that's came through the Sox system since Sale's slider. There's multiple variations of the pitch, and they're all nasty. He can make it tail or sink based off the match up. Originally, I compared him to Radke, but I also see a lot of RH Jose Quintana. I'd also rank Cease's 4 seamer up there. It's the heaviest 98 you'll ever see.

I missed part of this. After the Tatis trade, you took it upon yourself to rub it in our faces for multiple years and actively become a Padres fan. I don't think there's a poster on the board who doesn't acknowledge that the Sox are a trash franchise that's run as poorly as any franchise in the history of sports. Reminding everyone while you fellate the Padres and Tatis is just an asshole move. Now you're trying to do the same with the Orioles system and the Cease trade. It's just pathetic. Lip openly rooted against the Sox in 05. He's just a miserable dude and Sox fans already have to endure enough misery just by following the team. I actually love Fathom as a poster, but sometimes he really needs to read the room.

According to me, mailroom employees are down 94%* over the last 10 years. *source: CEO who worked their way up from the mailroom

If you guys could keep the incessant whining out of the Future Sox board, that would be great. Last night's thread was ruined on what was a good night for a lot of our prospects.

Just a head's up, offices no longer have mailrooms. It's 2024.

I b**** about people being bitches. I don't cry about sports. There's a difference.

Creepy Caulfield gushing over them is like a curse. It happened to Puig, Tatis, and the Padres.

Maybe you could contain the nonstop b**** fest to the MLB board and give some respite to those who just want to follow the minor leagues? It's 14 year old edge lord s%*#.

Lip is now one of the biggest contributors to this board. Year's ago, a lot of us left WSI to get away from the Lip's of the world. The change to b**** culture on this board is to be expected. I was hoping they would stay away from the Future board, but now Caulfield's creepy ass is spending hours nutting in his own face over the Orioles AAA team.
