Who goes down to Charlotte? Burr, Ruiz, or Heuer?

Everybody says the Sox need another bat. It must be to replace Abreu's pathetic ass at 1B, because it sure as fuck better not be to push Engel's 139 OPS+ and his gold glove caliber defense out of the outfield.

Most likely he's getting a day off vs LHP

If Marshall is out for an extended period, I'd think that necessitates another bullpen piece.

So nobody off the 40 and we need another DFA. Maybe Lamb this time.

That's nice, but if it's for Lopez that's going to make it hard to get 8 innings pitched today.

When he's at the game, he can see the outfielder's movement right off the bat. From a studio, he has to wait until the camera pans out there.

A bit disappointing that Engel wasn't already on 2nd before that hit, but hopefully Vaughn can take care of it.

At least Engel read the scouting report.

I would like a Fry upgrade. Our current Fry is a Burger King Fry but Baltimore's is a McDonald's Fry.

The ReyLo/Tepera trade was supposedly a done deal yesterday but now it isn't, then Lambert got pulled from his start and the Sox starters this weekend all got changed to TBD, so the speculation is that something might have happened with Cease or one of the other starters that changed everything.

Baez and Story are running out of suitors.

Cleveland is off today so they probably traveled last night. He may have to switch hotels, though.

Soo . . . Engel 7, Goodwin 9, Moncada 5, Vaughn DH, Sheets 3, Garcia 6, Collins 2, Hamilton 8, Mendick 4

If it's not someone on the 40, then someone on the 40 has to be DFA, with Robert due back soon needing another 40 spot.

So while we were all hoping for a big purchase from Macy's, we got something from Wal-Mart instead.

Having a minor league board where you have to earn your way here isn't the worst idea.

There were yesterday right around when the Tepera rumors were flying.

Has Rick Hahn become gun shy because of his own success. On the other side of the coin, he made brilliant deals when trading away Sale, Quintana and Eaton. Is he now looking at what the players he got in those deals have become and afraid to trade away prospects who could have similar success?

Burger just got pulled in the top of the 9th in Charlotte. Could just be a defensive replacement type deal but who knows?

Better off not having him throw 100+ pitches anyway.

Anderson/Abreu/Jimenez/Moncada 0-9, 2K Engel/Vaughn/Garcia/Mendick/Zavala 5-10, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K

Start batting Engel/Vaughn/Eloy at the top of the order and drop Abreu/Moncada/Anderson to 7/8/9 until they get their heads out of their asses.
