Exactly. Nightengale gets those clicks though...

I call bullshit

Had we heard anything about these "family considerations" until literally 5 minutes ago? Did I miss something. I know it's his wife's family or something, but would have thought we would have heard something before today.

I fully agree with this. Could/should produce some fun games throughout the year.

It will be interesting to see what a *somewhat* competent bullpen can do. You're right about OF as well, guys like Rutherford and Basabe can maybe show us if there's anything there.

I can't help but think if (IF) Robert stays healthy this season and finally puts together a full season of at bats, I don't know what's holding him back from being a star. Incredibly, he's often forgotten about throughout this whole thing, but understandably too due to the fact that he just hasn't played much at all.

OK, technically not negative!

There are a 300 million, or rather 250 million reasons to be down on the sox going into this season, but some of us are watching all/most of the games no matter what, so I wanted to start a thread for anyone who wanted to share anything they think might NOT turn out terribly this season. Of course Giolito can continue to struggle, Lopez might be nothing special, and Rodon could blow out his arm on opening day. There are other scenarios that can play out as well that can make this season a hell of a lot more watchable. Anyway, this is for the fans that aren't already looking at 2020.

I understand that everyone is mad at the front office, and for valid reasons, but to be mad, or disagree with this potential extension is absolutely silly.

Obligatory

I've always pictured Dan Clark as just a 14 year old posing as a sports reporter living in Australia which, to me, totally checks out as something a 14 year old would say.

First time poster, decided to be that guy, if even for one post.
