Detweiler V. Berrios is about the worst matchup imaginable for pre-game excitement.

If this team ever starts winning games I don't ever want to hear this dudes name again. FWIW I firmly believe he would be traded for someone else if not James Shields anyway.

Zobrist's money disappearing is what allowed them to sign Kimbrel

What is the significance of 7/3, I keep seeing that date thrown around but I personally don't see them calling him up in a slump and right after he pitched a rain shortened game.

Arguing whether or not he's actually ready is pointless, but if I'm Rick Hahn and I determine that he's ready today, he comes up today so he can have his weaknesses exposed now instead of in 2020. I'm way more concerned about 2020-2021 that I am about a year when Eloy, Moncada, Anderson and Giolito will have all likely left.

Robert will be better served in his younger years by coming up sooner. Whether or not that is enough reason idk, but to say there is no reason is not right. I'd personally rather get to the point where everyone is good at the same time, than burn Moncada and company's service time waiting for Luis to figure it out because we needed an extra year after the vast majority of the core will be gone.

If Adbert Alzolay shows he can stick over the next month, you could actually be onto something. I'd give it a one in a million chance of happening, but the logic at least tracks.

Moncada should be a backup too if you ask me. Sox should have three All-Stars.

Palka stinks. Quite a lot. BUT He's not an ever present reminder of a massive failure, at least provides the illusion of being someone you could dream on, and might hit a 600 foot bomb here and there. So bring em on.

They have three DH types who all have a different 'home' position, one of whom can only rarely DH. I don't think it's that bad.

There aren't many guys who aren't worthy of this particular MLB roster. Palka's at least fun bad

Other years Yonder probably sticks around, but they're running out of time to try guys out.

Kinda just highlights the fact it should have been done weeks ago.

So since it's not official, is Yonder finding out through the media? That'd be pretty shitty.

Maybe, I just remember his original timeline being ~a year

Jake Peter v2

I was told they were too stupid to not let his option vest. Also, thank goodness. Wish him the best, but please get out of my face.

Every team does stuff like this.

Wasn't the talk on burger that he wouldn't be back until after spring the first time he ruptured it? And then obviously is still not back from the first one?

Shutting him down all year instead of coming back in august is pretty hot

Are you trying to say <50% quality starts doesn't suck?

Nevermind, it's reported Tilson and Sanchez illnesses aren't related.

Not to rain on any parades, but guys getting sick seems to be an issue rn

lmao now it is certainly exhibit A

Need a dinger or two for that.
