Kek, I'm on vacation I got married Saturday. I work midnight shift when I am at work anyways.

Just woke up and thought the game started at 1. How do our actual MLB players look today?

I really have no interest in watching Nova pitch, but alas.

Nice game for sure. Yo is looking great thus far.

Give me a break.

Gio got away with that changeup to Duda lol

Hot take, college drafted prospects enter MLB games at an older age.

Yolmer would be a good piece on a competing team like the Dodgers. The Sox are not competing obviously. Hes a ~2.5 WAR player off the bench that plays a lot of different positions. He has no business starting full time though.

71 wins.

I really hope we are fucking terrible the first half of the season so Kenny doesn't trade Cease/Robert for Michael Wacha or something. Get much better after the deadline please.

Im just not excited about a 21 year old infield prospect that struggles to hit essentially A+/AA pitching. I'd rather them save it then waste it on that. The Sox have been pretty good on picking up LatAm players though so who knows.

I don't like this pick based on the very limited information I have on this guy. Already 22 and has 1 tool which is Defense. I'd rather have them store that money for something toolsier or pitching.

Uhh, yeah Stanton has Elite power. He is absolutely one of the best (read Elite) power hitters in baseball.

I think this is going to be a big year in determining what we actually have in the farm system. If we can turn some of these kids into legitimate prospects we could start dealing. Next years FA class looks pretty shit I agree. Hopefully we can flip some of these kids for a TOR arm.

Can we stop with this meme? He costs a pick and wants 4 years. It makes no sense.

Some of these comments are hilariously over blown. It's a minor league deal that won't start a service time clock on anybody young if we have injurues. Yikes

Why are we still doing the Keuchel bit? He costs a draft pick and wants 4 years. He makes zero sense.

This makes a lot more sense than 100 million with only 1 year of FA control. Still would have liked to take 2 FA years but this is still a good deal for both sides. He's going to be starting with the big club now at least.

He's also gotten better every year he's pitched in the Majors. Lopez is one of my least concerns.

I kind of want to just simulate this season and see who is panning out. This is a pretty big year for a lot of the farm kids + Yoan/Lopez/Gio/TA/Fulmer. It's going to be a lot of shitty baseball but as long as our "key" young guys are improving the season could still be a success.

I'm actually less excited for this draft than I should be. Taking a right handed 1B or another SS with not great hit tools seems meh for the 3rd pick. Ruschman would be nice but I doubt he's there.

I don't think those are realistic trades for Kimbrel.

He costs a pick and he wants 4 years. Hard pass

"Reporters report facts". Boiiiiiii

I'm with most here that this reported deal doesn't really make sense right now. The math is weird and he hasn't even taken a pitch yet.
