I don't know, but I'm willing to take the blame off the Sox on their arbitration approach to Giolito. Maybe. It may be petty. But it's fair, and to the victor goes the narrative

I guess it’s either 3rd or 6th with that layout. And if Colas bats that high in the order this season, kudos

Unfortunately. I'd rather spend time developing a real prosect than a mediocre one. Service time bare minumum, but that lasts only so long. After that, 100% Colas. Let Sheets grab some bench and wait for an injury. Or a trade.

Hitting .500 at this time. Play Sheets at every opportunity though by all means.

Only hitting.500. Is there an excuse to give Sheets any ABs and playing time ahead of Colas this year?

He’s gonna block Colas isn’t he. And for some reason, Sheets will be allowed to finish Colas off.

"He's got to be himself and he's got to understand that there's a pace that he has to play this game with," son of a b****...

Understood. No argument. I think his power is important in the perhaps likely event that Eloy goes down. And his power probably plays at 3rd base more than we would like to admit. On a normal team he might be traded.

No sir.

Abreu probably equates to Vaughn though. Andrus, doesn’t move the needle. Just saying the team has to disprove the media narrative, which seems to be a reasonable narrative entering the year.

Thing is, when you basically just run it back on the diamond, they’re gonna do that. Unless Pedro is a baseball alchemist….. What is really different, Clevinger (a wash at best with Cueto), Beni. Then a (non) shift….which every fanbase probably believes will overly favor their own team.

I think he already lost the weight. This is him

All bets are off

That seems like a judgement not in reserve.

U sure this isn't Deng's kid?

Before my time

Colas looks intimidating at the plate. All I got so far.

He hits em like Karko

Stoney in midseason form on that Burger homer

So they CAN shift. But it has to be an outfielder into the dirt?

Needed a little more confidence making that call. But the catcher should have been more organized there in the first place. As I say this, Perez makes a wide throw to second

Oh Ramos

Burger playing at first, which he should have been doing all along instead of wasting time trying to learn second base

No shift. No sticky stuff. Big bases. Limit throws to first. I assume all pickoff moves are balks now. They are gearing up for huge scoring boost. Probably will be throwing superballs wrapped in cowhide.

Pedro is a true troll
