anybody got Doug Drabek, Rueben Sierra?

The first 30 years of JR's ownership were rough. Now I just laugh.

Bad fans.

This was a rare move for the Sox. Take on dough and flip him later for a prospect. Should be doing a lot more of that.

I don't think they had any prospect rankings back then but I'm thinking Kittle would've had been at least top ten given his insane minor league numbers.

Well Ron Kittle might have had a case. .345 and 50HR in AAA.

He's still miles ahead of Giolito on any metric you want to cite.

What the hell metrics are you talking about?

Look on the bright side, he's hitting better than Trayce Thompson.

my biggest concern is a sore arm.

Exactly what I was just about to say. Lot of things can happen stealing a base and most of them are bad.

Just getting it on the record that I am in favor of drafting Madrigal if available.

Got me by 10 years. You must REALLY be nuts....

I’m thinking maybe A ball isn’t challenging Cease

kind of a problem when your owner refuses to outbid anyone.

Narvaez and Smith are both terrible defensively (Narvaez is just plain terrible). why would they be used to develop a very young staff?

I'm kind of frustrated b/c I don't view Narvaez/Smith as even adequate backups, let alone starters. How could our AAA depth be that bad all across the board? We can't even stock replacement level players.

Check out Saunders’ AAA stats this year

You gotta be shitting me putting that trio in the outfield.

Giolito flat out sucks.

This is certainly a disheartening start to the season.

+1 to what Dick says

He's a decent enough player, but if he's the best we're going to get in FA, just forget about it. Fold up the franchise. Or move.

I missed catching a Mike Diaz homer by about a foot. Closest I ever got. So yes, I remember Mike Diaz.
