I'm not sure you understand the concept of spring training or doing things differently in an AB sometimes in ST.

Right I thought the calls were fine. I was just thinking maybe he specifically went up there to just see pitches. Maybe it was his way of getting in the box and just not swinging so much. Sounds silly I know but it's ST you're swinging and missing a bunch so start looking at pitches more. Everyone was worried he never take any walks and he swings and misses a bunch but he does seem to back off his aggressive tendencies when he's a little too impatient at the plate.

Nice to see Abreu hit a HR this spring.

Was that the AB he looked at every pitch ?

Strange. I called MLB TV yesterday to say my app was going off during commercials and they told me my new 4k Android Smart TV from a cheap maker wasn't on the list on manufacturers that are approved and the app could be acting up because of that. They told me to get an Amazon Fire Stick. I wasn't in any hurry to spend $50 . I tune in today and my app has a brand new look and everything works fine. Coincidence or maybe the free period ended since the season is so close but glad its working again right again for now.

Very good common sense approach and any of them could be traded.

Not to mention Keuchel's contract becomes an albatross if it vests. I thought you had to suck 1st before a contract can be considered an albatross.

That's for sure. If Hahn could have a $200M payroll , he wouldn't just sit on his hands. No GM would. They work with what they are given.

Why should there be ? Neither one is ready and frankly not close either.

3 stolen bases in the inning ,Madrigal , Hamilton and Eaton. Just one of the things I wanted to see more of under TLR.

Anyone else having trouble with the MLB app on TV. Mine's been losing the game only during commercials. Then I have to go to scores and click on the broadcast again to get the game but if i do it when commercials are still playing it will close again and will only restart during the broadcast .

Nick Williams he's already here.

He's having an outstanding spring but he's a 1st baseman. Don't need any more of those types.

He was another of my choices when the off season started.

By hugging someone ?

Give him time? You didn't hear of those thing with Eloy until he got to MLB.

Vaughn runs like he has 2 wooden legs.

I never said he's prime cut. But he is an athletic guy LH guy with speed, some power in the prime of his career. As far as the most ready guys available to play the position decently he seems the most likely choice if you want to keep Vaughn at DH and Leury as a super sub. Rather Williams than Hamilton.

Not one person has brought up Nick Williams. He has quietly had a nice spring and has been playing LF.

Umm because he's available and about and as good as you could expect to get without trading anyone unless you prefer Ryan Braun.

Before they got Mazara they Sox did talk to Puig and Williams said they came away big fanes of Puig. ( The usual fluff). Abreu said he was surprised had hadn't signed with anyone because he was still young (29 at the time) but admitted he wasn't a fit because they now had Mazara and there was no room. That's all I got.

A earlier in March ago Luba was saying he's available.

As we found out with Eloy you can't have offensive production from a hospital bed. Puig is available , younger healthier power decent fielder. Calling Rachel Luba !

More lots more.

I think you both are nuts. Replace one injury prone guy with an old injury prone who has barely played for 2 years guy? The Sox don't want to pay for another guy to get injured.
