it worked for Sale and Crochet. Seemingly it's a viable way to get acclimated to MLB. Although, I see Schultz more so in that role than Hagen based on their respective injury histories. In a perfect world, Schultz and Hagen both come up and start and relegate Kay and Newcomb to the bullpen though. I voted "yes" but I wanted to vote "I dunno, maybe, it depends".

it's about time

well we don't have Yoendrys anymore, someone has to have it. maybe Bryan Ramos because he keeps 'YoYoing' between AAA and MLB.

it'll never not be funny to me that everyone slobbers all over those two dudes, the criminal and the wunderkind, and they completely blew it with a $400mil payroll. the key point here is that they failed and now this year they're not even trying. meanwhile, the sox actually appear to be 'trying' this offseason and people are still complaining. interesting.

the steve cohen special seems to be missing the playoffs then replacing the team's good players with polanco, a 35-year-old who just hit for 89 wrc+, a guy who posted a 5 ERA. maybe that's the david stearns special.

still waiting for Brooks to release Munetaka's Room

I think most teams would be happy with Taylor, Leasure, Wikelman, Vasil out of the pen all making nothing. Newcomb is a nice addition from the left side, though he might start. Gilbert, Eisert, the two rule 5 guys are less than ideal. Bush, Murphy, Schweitzer, perhaps Schultz and Hagen could all potentially shore up the left side of the pen. Wasting money on the bullpen is a fool’s errand if you ask me. Relievers are too volatile.

Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahamas, Key Largo, Montego. Just a few thoughts.

if they paid him the same amount they paid Rojas, I think it's a good deal for what is basically a backup. I bet he could start somewhere though. I liked Moncada despite never living up to the hype. He's a nice guy, he'd always stick around longer than other Sox players to sign autographs for kids at spring training.

Robert slashed .298/.352/.456 in the second half across 125 plate appearances. Seems totally reasonable to expect that next season (if he’s healthy).

We should sign him too. tbh I’d take YoYo back. He’s probably better than Vargas.

It was the bench coach (Montoyo).

Yeah I think Emerson has been the kid with the most hype for multiple years. Roch went to college for a reason, he massively improved his draft stock with his sophomore season. His high school class was loaded which seems to be fortuitous for us this many years later.

Hark, Gene Honda, Jerry sings. 村上 宗隆 was born in 熊本市.

More shocking to me is the “women only” train cars to hedge against groping and that every cellphone has a clicker sound on the camera to hedge against upskirt photos. Weird place.
