When I saw Bonemer play, he was definitely athletic. Dude moves like a strong safety. Very well built, straight line fast although not a ton of lateral quickness from what I observed.

Vargas, Mune, Peters, Colson, really a whole team (including management and coaches) has turned things around. Depending on how you define "valuable" the most valuable player could be Antonacci. He brings a contagious attitude.

This what I get for responding before reading. Yup, 60 grade speed.

He ran a 4.2 to first in the futures game the other day. That's 60 grade speed. I think it surprised a lot of people. Baseball America had several things on it.

Fun reread.

Tarps off, slamming 'za on the lake with the boys lol I'm sure he would have gotten on well enough anywhere, but there does seem to be a special spark to how well/quickly he meshed here.

Lmao

"The Sox traded for the wrong Vargas!"

At the end of the day boss, someone’s getting traded

They are about to go on a road winning streak!!!

Isn't 4.2 seconds from a right handed hitter a 60-65 FV grade for speed? That's wild if it turns out Bonemer has a 60 FV for speed instead of 40. That puts him in another level as a prospect, offensively and defensively. That's so exciting.

So odd having a team that Law is supportive of. I dig it. Our hatred for him was a delusion.

Where are you seeing Caleb has ++ speed? From what I've seen Roch is 50/50 speed and Bonemer is 40/40. Bonemer is going to be a freaking stud though. I'm so high on his bat. I'm assuming he can play 2B and 3B, not just LF. Never know what will happen with our roster. His bat will play at any of those positions though. Dude had 18 bombs in 61 games in A+ and he is currently holding his own in AA as a 20 year old. We might see him up next season if he keeps doing well in AA. Start him in AAA and call him up mid season if he's raking.

The failure of the Sale trade/ Robert rebuild I think was a wakeup call to the foolish old man. He knew something was still wrong, and he still didn’t know what (which was basically him). I just think he stumbled around until finally realizing he was out of time, someone convinced him you have to stock the minors organically. He was still super awkward in empowering Getz and co, and obviously got lucky with Getz because the hiring process was Jerry B ***** 101, and Jerry is still doing Jerry things. But basically he began using his frontal lobe more than ever because he’s gonna die soon, and desperately opened up his mind to change before the clock runs out. Thats the movie.

I'm in the minority of what,people who like loud and obnoxious ? Sure OK great I am but money still has nothing to do with who I watch so telling me why someone is making a lot of money still means nothing to me or why I tuned in this time. I dislike the guy like people dislike Schriff , arguing about it doesn't change my personal choice.

Well, I guess you are in the minority then. The two highest paid talents on ESPN are — #1 Stephen A. Smith and #2 Pat McAfee. These two get paid the most because they generate the most revenue for ESPN. Sames goes for Mune. More talent and revenue generation equals a higher salary. There’s a reason Mune signed for $34 million and not the minimum. So that’s why money has to do with everything.

That's like saying a Sox fan is for likely to pick a Cub because he is from Chicago, which is complete fantasy. Philly HATES NYC, they would pick the crust in their asscrack over someone from New York.

What does money have to do with anything? OK he's got a fan base as a whatever it is he does . Big loud personality's have their place in the crazy internet/TV world but Sox fans are still watching only because of Mune . I think Stephen A. Smith still has a job but I never watch him. As far as interviewing baseball players frankly I'd rather watch Kevin Millar, Santos and Dempsey do their interview with Vargas because it was about Vargas and they all took turns talking to him. I have no idea who or what the other 3 guys were doing on that panel with McAfee . Doesn't seem like a share the spotlight type.

Defensive excellence is less scarce than offensive excellence. Even with the attention and emphasis on defense and baserunning in the modern era, the fact remains that someone will always find a place for a top tier bat who can't defend while top tier defenders who can't hit have short lived careers. I think Bonemer is a top tier bat. And he's a good athlete to boot and isn't a worthless defender. Is he as good as roch, sounds like no, but he can play the field and has ++ speed which roch doesn't have. I'd bet on caleb to be a stand out offensive player more than I'd bet on roch to be, which is why I'd take bonemer over Roch.

It's hard to know who is given access to certain things or gets to view the game from the press box. There are probably a lot more NY guys with press credentials just because of having 2 teams and the Yankees being the Yankees in the most populated area in the US. However that doesn't mean they all get to vote for the MVP , fans voted too. I think Vile's loyalty to Vargas is fine but as others have said if you shut out the other team then the 1st 2 RBI's that broke a scoreless tie are the most important runs of the game. That's how they used to score some as a GWRBI but that is no longer a thing in the box score. While the Vargas HR was fun and exciting to us because it truly was a special moment and a Big Ol' Bomb, it was just a run added on making the score go from 3-0 to 4-0. His other AB doesn't even enter the calculus nor do the 2 other outs Bellinger made.
