Assuming Yolmer is gone, he’s good enough to start at 2B for a few weeks to give us another full year of control over Madrigal. If he’s decent, he can just drop to middle infield backup once they call up Madrigal.

He’ll be out of baseball as soon as next year. It’s the easiest position to play and he wasn’t much of a hitter and had minimal power to begin with. Far too much competition as well.

I just saw Yermin score on one of Robert’s hits and I agree with Y2Jimmy0. Dude is a fat slob and will be lucky to make the majors in his current state.

Easiest $9 million someone has ever made. Notice, I didn’t say earn. ?

I will never understand the righty knock on a 1B. Frank, Konerko, Abreu... what a shame!

His HR swing may be prettier than Eloy’s. So easy.

Good riddance, bum.

Who is the Sox DH right now and next year? Why can you not reason that perhaps they want to resign Abreu but “the Houston guy” (Reed) could fit in at DH for next year if he performs well in the role in the second half of this season?

And if the Sox resign McCann for one year via salary arbitration, what will the extension money look like after half a season of him OPS’ing .750? You are making it sound like McCann is a lock to hit next year like he is now. I wouldn’t put my money on that bet.

Neither Collins nor Vaughn are 100 percent sure bets to be major leaguers. It doesn’t hurt to acquire potential talent, especially if it is free.

Like I said, it’s a shame Reed wasn’t cut or made available by the Astros last offseason before Hahn blew $9 million on Alonso. Could have given Reed a good number of at bats to sink or swim in a meaningless season.

Nugenix. “More like the Big Hunk...”

What team does he play for?

Oops.

It was sarcasm. I was joking about Ron. I could care less.

Beat me to it. Buck is a clown.

Was he chewing too? Horrible role model to the kids!

DP for Abreu.

Does McCann just have trouble with those popups? It seems like I’ve seen him struggle with those a lot this year.

Haha. He would definitely choose to play with the Red Sox over the Yankees.

I doubt Reed plays much 1B over Abreu. I think they have him targeted at DH just to get at bats, with an occasional swap with Abreu at 1B to give him a break.

He was 240 when drafted by the Astros. He is currently listed at 275 but I found an article that said he lost 20 pounds coming into 2018 Spring Training. I’m thinking he is back closer to that 275 now. And yes, I was surprised to read about his defensive skills at 1B considering his size. Maybe that isn’t as accurate now at his current weight?

With 3 strikeouts.

Yup, first page. ?

I only noticed he was in the game once they zoomed in on the back of McCann’s jersey.
