Yeah, I regret posting that, the sample size is way too small.

So, why exactly do people do this to themselves? You don't need to closely track every player that's been traded away, you seemingly gain nothing from it but misery, seems really dumb.

I mean he's slashing .267/.389/.533/.922 what exactly do you want?

I know he's got 3 singles in 10 AB's but Billy Hamilton getting 3 starts in your first 7 games of 2021 is rough.

Is 44th percentile in sprint speed as advertised? I mean the 6th percentile hard hit% is but posting a below average sprint speed? What happened to that 55/60 grade speed? Admittedly it's early but nothing is trending in the right direction for him.

Vaughn's statcast page updated. That sprint speed, man.

Looking at that list hammers home the lack of depth this team has. We can't afford injuries anywhere.

Imagine bitching about overreactions in game threads in 2021. I've been on this site for 17 years, the game threads have sucked for 17 years, game threads by their very nature will inherently suck, there is no getting around this.

**COMICALLY EXAGERATED WANKING MOTION**

I'm confident they'll win between 85 and 98 games, I went pessimist in the poll so I would be right if they end up sucking. I very much hope I look extremely stupid 6 months from now.

I'm very excited to watch Lucas Giolito pitch in a game that matters again. It's such a damn treat. I'm also uneasy about this lineup minus Eloy, could very easily see them missing oomph. I don't really care that Vaughn's not playing today, I don't think it's necessarily a sign of anything since it is Opening Day after all. That being said I don't trust LaRussa so maybe Collins is the primary DH against righties and they don't trust Vaughn enough to start him in LF, I'm just not going to worry about it on Opening Day.

They don’t use the word “trade” in the CBA, if you read the passage above: “such contract may be assigned for other Player contracts and/or cash consideration” that’s referring to a trade.

I think this is the relevant section from the CBA:

The Trevor Bauer initiative

The very bad Matt Reynolds hit that oppo homerun, not Mendick.

The fans get what they crave: televised (webcast) Yermin. And catching to boot!

Cade McClure and Bennett Sousa expected to pitch today.

I'm excited to overreact to actual on field play as a nice change of pace.

Counterproductive for whom? What exactly is our digestion of the new sordid details of this embarrassment holding back? If the facts of this hire are affecting the players then that sounds like more of an issue with the coach than with the discussion surrounding it. Every new fact that comes out is fair game and should absolutely be amplified, we deserve to know exactly how all this went down, if we have to deal with this bullshit going forward then I want the Sox to have to sweat every last detail of this fiasco, Why in the hell would you just sweep it under the rug for them? This organization has done nothing to deserve that level of respect. They need to speak to all of it.

The only hyperbole on this thread comes from your post, some stupid bullshit that adds nothing to the discussion.

1st chart, 4th player

It's hard to believe but Elvis Andrus is actually a few months younger than Khris Davis.

So it can live on here in posterity:

So just checking in. Looks like Fathom has reached the acceptance stage. I commend you, man. I'm dying to get there too.

You could have spent without hiring TLR, if they spend this offseason it'll be spun that way but nothing was stopping them from spending with Sandy Alomar as the manager.
