It's ok if the corner infielders combine for 70-80 HR.

The comparison to Hamilton is ridiculous. Abrams hit tool is light years ahead of Hamilton's. I am not sure why so many here are afraid of high school players who are good athletes. The reality is that the Sox haven't many high school kids and certainly none this high so you can't really say they can't develop them.

That's what everyone thought when they got Rodon at 3. That one didn't turn out to well.

I would imagine Madrigal would be able to give the Sox good info on what kind of teammate he is.

How about both. Trade him to a contender and sign him to a contract in the offseason a la the the Yankees and Chapman. As an extra bonus he could get valuable playoff experience which nobody on the Sox currently has.

The only bad hitters in that lineup are Alonso and Sanchez. The rest are pretty good.

Is James McCann the frontrunner at this point to start at C for the AL in all star game?

Hahn did discover his cousin Josue who can't hit.

Yeiner Cano, the #2 prospect from the 2018 class is also unsigned. Cuban RHP who is 25 years old. Could be a good bullpen arm.

Just make it like they do in softball leagues. Once it's called a home run you don't even have to run the bases. Its ceremonial anyway.

Time for Cordell and Palka to trade places.

I didn't realize that is how options work. Good info.Regardless the Sox are in no position to give them up for nothing. They may have to call them up before they are ready.

Wouldn't they just need to be added to the 40 man roster? We have enough dead weight on the 40 man to be able to keep both.

Eloy played there when he was in the Cubs organization. Wear a Sox Eloy Jersey. LOL.

I wonder if this is why we haven't seen the Sox linked to any J2 signings. Going all out on the Cuban market.

Frank Thomas says hello. Not saying Vaughn is anywhere close to Frank but he was drafted as a RH 1B out of college. If the kid can rake I don't care what position he plays.

It's Hahns job to convince JR to pony up the money to sign Harper and the investment it would be. I have no faith he can do it as he failed with Manny.

Confirmed. OJ is signing with the Sox.

I do find it interesting he puts his arm up to try and cover up the logo on the hat.

Unfortunately we traded our Machado away to San Diego.

As long as the Indians don't get "he who must not be named" from the Padres it'll be fine.

Luis Robert in 2020.

Framing wouldn't be needed if umpires could call balls and strikes correctly. Let's get robot strike zones and then framing goes away.

Derek Dieterich got DFA'd by the Marlins. He had a pretty good season last year and is still pretty young. Plays LF/1b

Time for robot umps. Then we wouldn't have to worry about framing.
