Is he Moncada's replacement?

Not just spending on players, but more so spending on player development. The Sox have had no discernible strategy when it comes to player development. Smart organizations like the Guardians, Dodgers, Braves, and Orioles consistently develop players because a) they create development plans for their players; b) they tend to acquire guys whose characteristics fall into these strategies; and c) follow through on these development plans. JR sees the farm as just a warehouse, when it should be seen as a factory.

Not saying he is.

I guess it’s more a response to a lot of the people on the board who rip him for being fat and lazy.

Confused - this board rips on Yoan for being fat. Now he’s built like a Greek God?

So when does Moncada end up on the IL, and for how long? my guess? Wait 5 days, then he’s out for 5 weeks.

…and I reiterate: with THAT lineup!!

90s and 2000s were a different era. the game has passed Jerry by, but he refuses to change. He has to do it “his” way, which may have accidentally worked in the 2000s, but not today.

Somehow not even the worst (Oakland). We can’t even suck with distinction.

Wow. not only a W, but a 7 spot by THAT lineup. well done

2-inning save?

Against an ex-Royal. Go figure.

Pitching generally has been good

Be careful. with our luck they’ll “assign” us TLR.

Should have let him take 2 strikes to draw the intentional walk.

Didn’t grifol JUST say something about Yoan nursing a sore adductor, and how he was doing a great job with it

You know the post is going to be good when you see that. well done, sir

They at least had big league players at at least 5 of the positions usually. this one is BAAAAD. And this is before Moncada’s spring seasonal injury.

Nobody else is going to comment on Korey Lee as a DH?

If it was good enough in 2002, why wouldn't it be good enough now?? I mean, I spent top dollar on a brand new car in 1997, and I've authorized my lieutenants to spend what I think is fair market value for any top free agent when the time is suitable for me. What are you complaining about?

But don't forget - it all culminated in a glorious Leury Garcia home run.

Not sure. Something about backne.

Bumping this thread because we may never get another one like it this year. also, that reddit post was hilarious

This might be too dark, even for me. lol

I know exactly what you’re referring to, but I have this mental image of roided up TLR running out to stand up for Abreu after being hit
