Https://www.SoxTalk.com did NOT work on my macBookPro.

60 pitches isn't getting Sandlin through 6 today.

James Fegan profiles Davis Martin's poorly rated "stuff", and how his "stuff" doesn't care. Stuff metrics dislike Davis Martin, but it's hitters who truly hate him - Sox Machine

The Tigers got four nice years out of Miguel Cabrera's last 10. Two others were league average offensive production. At $30M per. Albert Pujols put up 7 below average seasons to finish out his Angels' contract. Stockholm Syndrome? LOL. When the Sox finally grab somebody off the free agent market and sign them to that 10/350M contract, they'll probably get 3 great years, 2 average, then Bentendi for the back 5. I look forward to you loving every minute of watching a guy swing at s%*# then grab his back for 5 long years. Getz did sign Mune. By all accounts, the Sox sound very amenable to keeping Mune in house as long as it's feasible. I'm sure you'll tell us all how JR will punt right up until the actual signing, then flip and start lecturing that the signing was a no brainer. What kind of Syndrome is that?

And this is probably the subgroup their insurance policy gave the go ahead for coverage.

The Sox then followed that up by a 2-8 run. They're young guys, so there aren't a lot of veteran egos who are ready to throw hands over hot tub time. You can see the camaraderie right on the field, unlike 2016 with Jose Abreu stiff-arming an over-exuberant Brett Lawrie smooshing for a hug.

Puppy Attack!!

It all depends on the order guys come off the IL and queue up for promotion. On the IL you have Teel, Mune, Pereira and Hays. LHH IF/LF Mario Camilleti is raking at AAA and B. Monty looks comfortable there. And on the 40-man, you have RHH OF Junior Perez. The situation right in front of them is that Derek Hill seems to be a bit hobbled. If he's not 100%, he could be an easy IL move to get Hays back on the roster when he's ready. Kicks the can down the road for a week and a half. Grickuk's lightening is still in the bottle, and Acuña was kind of the centerpiece of the Robert return, so neither's an easy DFA. The next conundrum could be if Pereira is ready to come back at the same time Hill's healed up. If they do move Hill to the IL, nothing else needs to happen until 6/12. By then, Beni could have fallen back off the table, or Rikuu could start to look horribly overmatched.

It's performative. "My opinion holds more weight because I get angrier because I take this more seriously."

Right now, he's not on the 40-man. If the Sox don't add him, next off-season, the Sox would have to chance him being selected. He has all 3 options if the Sox add him to the 40-man. However, with the end of the player contract, the owners may just decide to forego this year's GM meetings and Rule 5 draft. I believe they did that last lockout.

Oooh, that's a good one. I wasn't thinking.

Yeah, when people treat the QO pick as "letting him go for nothing", teams don't trade the top prospects they know are going to be perennial All-Stars. They trade the projects and keep the sure things for themselves. I have no idea how good the Tigers are at scouting and getting "buy low" guys they know they can develop.

I'm almost feeling sorry for the Tigs. Been there.

You know? The Phillies don't really scare me. Beyond the big three, that offense is somewhat pallid.

And now Gonzo's mom gets a free baseball!!

10-15 years ago, you had to grease the Andy Frains to get into the lower deck. I guess the team isn't back there, yet.

Jerry's probably cashing out a couple of CDs and liquidating a couple shares of AT&T to pay that $50k fee.

Ben Peoples giving a lot at the office today. Gabe Davis with the rude welcome to AA. Anthony DiPino has taken to AA. Nice outing by Riley Eikoff in Kanny.
