Well it would be a sudden reversal if they were not playing DHs out there, that’s for sure. And before the answer is that we have a new coaching staff in place, it was the new manager that suggested Eloy.

I have already penciled in the Colas/Eloy platoon.

The logic behind this thread spawned Madrigal trade talk. Don’t worry about it. The same logic was behind Madrigal trade talk here. That was fun as well.

Is there a ‘per 9 innings, 162 games’ stat like the NBA’s ‘per 36 mpg’ stat? We need them to all have stats reflecting the former.

Well, someone had to take the thread from the absurd, into the gutter.

Mercedes!

The prob Problem is the Sox aren't trying. I have a suspicion, just a suspicion, that if they believed the team could really win big, they might actually try harder. Their approach may be a tell on what their opinion of the team really is. This is possibly the transition year until they clear the decks a little and reload after with whatever next wave they can come up with.

Which is why we worry about 2B and RF. I disagree they would not help. The big guys could make it not matter at all, true. But there are various shades of grey and context here.

I’ve never seen him in a gym shirt and shorts before ti compare. Need more information. He still looks pretty strong upstairs.

It looked like it didn’t move a lot, or break down.

In search of missing velocity?

Nobody pushed any politics other than yourself. There’s no denying that. Liam is a person that helps people.

I love you too. ? gosh, no harm intended. Carry on

Well now he has time to get a new elbow ligament. Unless he likes the old tattered one

Damn. Well that’s an example of why we can’t have nice things.

Jazz would be pretty damn nice though. Unles you're giving up Montogomery, find a way to make that deal

When is the cutoff for calling a player young. Seems like he’s entering his prime now

I hope someone kicks the Cuban crutch out from under these guys, and they learn how to scout and sign around the world well like other professional scouting departments. Ban Cuba. Get legitimate.

A lot we don’t know about Grifol. But I wouldn’t put it past the Sox FO to have hired him because through him they could dictate outcomes on the field. Certainly he wasn’t the hot commodity. I can’t fathom how they felt about last season’s outfield, or Eloy. But Pedro is probably not playing a strong hand of independence.

Yes, to byoass proven commodities so we can roll the dice. Lets GO!

The actual quote is not quite that though. But maybe?

I thought we were finally playing on a fair, level playing field, and we still struggle?

follow the money

I mean, follow the money. Remember when we were told that we were just being paranoid that Leury Garcia was being signed for an oversized role? Dude is gonna get used because the powers that be have paid him. Can't block Leury.
