9 - 5. What a way to make living.

JR JR JR JR JR JR. How many difference making free agents can u sign when ajj JR allows you to sign are C level free agents.

Gotta agree with you. Hate on JR all day long. But the players were just looking for jobs and there are guys on the team we should want to do well.

Don't want to stick up for the mess JR created but we all knew this team would be a mess and the best bets for surprise seasons usually come from the pitching be it a break out younger pitcher or a rebounding dumpster dive. Getz knew what he was getting, a bunch of projects and some decent defensive players who couldn't hit. There's a difference between what you do and what you are able to do. Maybe I could've kept this post shorter by just saying JR 10 times.

No hurry

Don't forget Clevinger unless some other team decides to actually sign him next off season before the Sox do.

So your idea of a dumb idea is that it's worth watching a guy play who is injured a lot so you can't watch him play so you can be entertained when he's not injured on a bad team until he gets hurt again . Got it. Very sound logic.

Because it's the only plan we got. JR is running this dog and pony show. He slashed payroll like Sweeney Todd and told Getz Here's Lookin' At You Kid ,build me a winner but don't call it a rebuild, let's pretend we can get it done quickly this time. I'll give you more money next year.Wink Wink nudge nudge !

Ha here we go again. The obligatory optimistic thread after a good last outing from him. Ok look I'm pretty sure I've been out in front of the whole Getz plan to try to get trade value for his short term pitching acquisitions and oft injured position players at the deadline since it became apparent JR was drastically cutting salary and Getz had very little money to work with. I've said it wasn't much of a plan since he was picking up a bunch of rejects for cheap and some relief pitchers but Bannister could help. So far so good but it's not even May yet . I realize we're Desperately Seeking Susan here, a shred of hope that the Sox won't suck for the next 10 years. If he gets blown up in his next start he'll be a bum again. But yes I want that plan to be able to get more prospects but Robert, Moncada and Eloy were also part of that plan and oops been blown to smithereens in a few weeks.

Don't start this all over again. It'll become another Dylan Cease is worth a truckload of prospects thing runaway train thread. Cease was the opposite of Robert regarding health and that helped the Sox get what they did for him but I believe you were one of the most disappointed with the return. Sox fans couldn't get it through their thick skulls after hearing talk from Rosenthal that Cease was worth a " haul" that he actually wasn't. His 2023 season hurt his trade value as did his lack of a long track record hurt, Jerry Reinsdorf cutting salary and throwing too many pitches to get through 5 or 6 innings like Snell. Robert Jr. has had 1 full season of excellence. He's hardly a model of consistency and we're bandying about labeling him a superstar . Please get real Stanton was a superstar ,Robert is not.

While he collects $20M a year like Moncada ? How is that working out ? Moncada had 2019 Luis Robert had 2023 .I see a lot of similarities. Comparing Robert to Stanton is a joke. He's Moncada without the hate for being too casual and a music video.

Thank you. Sanity prevails. I thought we were about to go on the whole Dylan Cease is worth 3+ of the Orioles best prospects crusade again led by the give me all the left handed savages.
