We're talking about more than money here. He got Covid , he may never be the same player. I don't know how he got it or who he got it from or even if his lifestyle was a factor. But the risk is even more apparent when his wife also got it and what does he have 3 young children ? How would he feel if he thought he had passed it on to them and someone had died ?

And also hopefully not risking the health of the ones who mean the most to you.

Don't teams and the players themselves have counselors, life coaches, financial advisors that come with being rich and in the public eye ? Were we ever rich and in the public eye ? The culture has changed, all these guys want to build a brand but to build a brand with a good image that means being smart. Plus we didn't have to deal with a life threatening virus that we could pass on to people that could make them die or have serious long term consequences. Maybe I can get rich being a life coach to those guys. My motto ? Live like you're old, ugly and wise instead of young, handsome and stupid if you want make the most money you can .

Wouldn't it suck to be a fan of a very good team and think they are incapable of winning a playoff series ? Most of us think they will make the playoffs . SO if you think they will make the playoffs how can you not think that they will win a playoff series ? The season has to play out and we can be surprised in so many ways that anything is possible. I can run around all day saying they don't look as good as last year but we all should know that the Sox can win a playoff series and if they can , why wouldn't I think they will ? Am I in a philosophy class ?

If Dave and Jimmy have heard that Conforto hurt himself at a bachelor party you can bet other GM's heard it too and any interested party will surely investigate it. He's made so many bad decisions lately . He's scorched his value. Anyone signing him has to think long and hard about how dedicated he is . It's also like the Moncada siutation. We heard stories about the partying , then they get Covid and you have to wonder how on earth these guys can jeopardize their careers and lives of family, friends and team mates . I know these guys got all kinds of temptations but it's like some of these guys just say fuck it ,I'm young, I'm rich, I'm invincible. That's so extremely selfish and narcissistic.

SO that means the answer is yes . Anyone who makes the playoffs can win a playoff series.

LOL No Vaughn is overhyped and yes I think Vaughn will be very good. But the fact of the matter is every time someone talks about Sheets the Vaughn people say his AB's were cherry picked and he belongs in the minors as left handed depth. I really dislike that it's come down to a Vaughn vs. Sheets argument about playing time . Here we had a good LH rookie hitting clutch game winning HR's . He smacked a HR in the playoffs along with Grandal and Leury ( not Eloy, Abreu,Robert etc amongst our RH stars ) and when everybody says we need LH power there's a guy right in front of your eyes who did everything possible last year offensively to give us hope and we ignore it. I suppose it would've been better if he just wet the bed last year ? You're a Sox fan ,get excited when a rookie does well. Just because he wasn't a top 10 pick in the draft doesn't mean he can't do well. Baseball is littered with players from other rounds who became very good. Allow yourself to dream a little bit instead of barfing on the few of us who like to imagine he can be a good contributor to the team. What's the worst that can happen? He sucks right? Big deal, it wouldn't be the 1st time and won't be the last. Did Gordan Beckham scar you for life ?

LOL not selling you I'm selling everyone else who might need to know how we can win a playoff series ! I'm waiting oh ye of little faith

If true he's an imbecile. Hasn't he hurt his value enough with his decision making process already ?

Sox have 4 guys who if relatively healthy could have big breakouts in Eloy,Robert, Vaughn and Sheets and another in Moncada who is capable of better slugging. He can pile up WAR with his fielding and walks but that LH power gap would close a lot with his help and Sheets just doing what he did last year in about 250 more AB's.

Oh ye of little faith.

I requested it because there was a lot of noise about the negative nellies making making a lot of noise badmouthing the FO and that we were only a select few loudmouths. So I made the poll about who thought the Front office would make us proud with a good RF acquisition and a starting pitcher. Turns out the large majority of the board didnt think the Sox would get either.

I voted yes just to troll you and that other guy. . No I really think it's possible with expanded playoffs and having Home field advantage in the 1st round would help a lot.

Incentive laden contract . This is The Way

Conforto would have to pay the Sox for that to happen

Only one way to find out. Poll time using your definition. I'm not going to do it. Hey Mikey !

He'd fit right in.

If I remember it right The Stooges did it the way FO office did it. They drilled holes in the boat to let the water out ?

Is Wilbur available ?

Bombs away 3rd HR this inning . Romy, Seby , Remi

SEby HR 2 run bomb with Adolfo on. 5-0 Sox

ROMY HOMIE !!

Sure looks like it barring any meltdowns with Kopech slow out of the gate,and Kelly injured and Crochet maybe in a new role.

Sousa continuing spring dominance.

Cards beat the Nats 29-8
