From the standpoint of developing players who can / will be part of the contending years this has been a decent year. McCann, Tilson, Bummer & Marshall all look like possible contributers on those teams. When you find players from other than the highly touted group it gives a real infusion to the rebuild. Jimenez--Moncada--Anderson--Abreu--Madrigal--Robert--Cease--Kopech--Lopez--Giolito--Collins--McCann--Tilson are all looking as probable's. The whole lineup is already here. Need a couple of quality starters and a few relievers and we're good to go. 2020 it starts.

Looked like they were pitching around Tilson to get to TA.

McCann...WOW JUST WOW

Most important place on the field to have a high baseball I.Q..

Herrera looking better than his last few outings. McCann got that last call against Toronto.

Those near collisions happen much to often.

Good pitching...Good hitting...Good defense...Good baserunning...all of this is very entertaining. Someone should mention this to JR.

He does seem more useful doesn't he?

Tilson...I like!

McCann 3 for 4 and catching a great game. I'm in love!

He looks like he may stick. We sure could use it.

Didn't take long to put out that rally. Nice job!

Time for Nova to sit down. Nice game.

Gee...I wonder if there is any reason for that.

tTilson contributes in a lot of ways. Defense and speed are both very good and he is what they call a pesty hitter.

Our pitchers all look better when McCann catching. Wonder why!

I imagine after a couple off days McCann probably has cooled off and it will be alright to bring him back into the lineup.

I bunt of course. Just wondering where would I find a Sox hitter who has been that hot.

My point is he certainly did have input and is part of the three headed decision making team. There is no blame when you are all in on the decision.

It was a more reasonable action for the situation then his usual. Even Stone & Jason discussed it from different angles.

Jimenez, Burger & Collins have all been mentioned to be better suited to 1B / DH rather than outfield, third & catcher respectively. Time will tell.

He's one of the most hands on owners in baseball. This guy is not sitting at home wondering how the team is doing. There are very few days he doesn't talk to RH. Might be guilty of many things but not caring isn't one of them.

Lets not corner the market on 1B / DH. We already have 3 or 4 high draft choice people who profile for this.

I ready for just exactly this.
