Baldwin turns into 2011 Adam Dunn in the majors.

Just turned this shitshow on late in the 2nd inning and I am welcomed to a 4-0 Dodgers deficit. How lovely…

You need to have the right people drafting the players first. That’s still in question.

We just lost our 24th ranked prospect for nothing. For shame…

You will get more MAT and like it!

I doubt the Mariners are that interested in Vargas but you could try for Farmelo.

The guy who wrote letters to JR to interview for Sox GM has sources?

Sources?

Baldwin is supposed to be able to play everywhere, but I guess he isn’t very strong defensively at any one position. But at this point, I’d sacrifice defense for offense. Rojas is brutal with the bat.

Agreed. No reason for Capra or Rojas to be on the roster. Probably not Noda either, other than the need for another 1B. Baldwin should definitely be up but I can see the rationale in holding Colson down since he has probably finally regained some confidence and the team not wanting to mess with that by throwing him at much more challenging MLB pitching immediately.

The entire Charlotte lineup is raking. Just goes to show what those stats mean.

“Bulls” and “big time FA” are two things that don’t belong in the same sentence.

Both will be free agents in 2031. And yes, Houser will be a free agent after this year.

All three guys you mentioned actually know/knew baseball. Schriffen is clueless and would rather discuss the NBA.

No, your post was ridiculous. You are not a mod but yet are trying to be one. In fact, I just posted in the Future Sox forum and didn’t burn up like a vampire in the sun. If you were so adherent to the “long standing rules of decorum”, you wouldn’t chase around posters that you don’t like, whine and moan about their posts, infer that they are stupid, and call them a Cubs fan. But that’s okay, Ron Willie, as you are the first person to hit my Ignore list. I hope you do the same for me.

67 hits and 41 walks in 64 innings. Hopefully, the Sox can get him straightened out.

WSD kissing any and all Sox players’ asses is far too cringey to watch. 🤣

You mean we aren’t even going to get a 26 year old reliever that voluntarily retires next year for Robert?

I have no doubt the area could be leveled and start to be made pretty in a matter of months, but that image you showed of an elevated Roosevelt Road looked like it may be somewhat problematic.

Kick a guy while he’s down? He’s an adult man who got a $3 million dollar signing bonus to play baseball. No one should feel sorry for him. If he can’t hack it in the majors, he will be okay. Also, who is “they”? This is an open forum, where people are free to post wherever. I didn’t realize you were the gatekeeper of this site. Good to know.

Agreed. May as well challenge him. They should also call up Baldwin as well. Noda, Capra, Rojas — take your pick of which two scrubs to cut loose.

Oof. I wasn’t aware of this. My guess is that they didn’t want to take on the remaining $21 million on Smart’s contract.

That is crazy. Made me wonder how his overall numbers are so bad, until I looked at his numbers against right-handed pitching. Mind-blowingly bad.

If Charlotte stats were all that mattered at ages 23/24, Baldwin would be the most discussed player in the minors with his near Bondsian 1.162 OPS. Just like with Baldwin, no one is buying until they prove they can hit in the majors.

Ban bet, lol. Calm down and have a cold one. Obviously I meant that he isn’t returning anything of value. I was hoping you had me on ignore. Guess not.
