I'm sure JR is smart enough to understand the concept of sunken cost fallacy. What are we at, like 130 million below peak payroll level? Surely he can't be worried about paying a guy 5/6 of league minimum. I'd think that would already be baked into the budget as no one could reasonably expect to go through the season without calling players up, particularly a team in the Sox' position
I'm ready for a lineup of Baldwin, Beni, Quero, Elko, Sosa, Vargas, Fletcher, Workman, Taylor. Baldwin to six day a week super utility when Meidroth gets back. Robert can fill the Billy Hamilton role
