My son ( not a baseball fan) would however love this post. I actually do too.

Are you making some kind of point ? Isn't a 14 game improvement pretty good ? Would you rather we be at 62 again ? Is gradual improvement not part of the plan in your mind ? Are we going to make some kind of magical leap from 62 wins to 90 one year ? Clue me in to how your mind is functioning.

If I was a guy like Moose I'd be like "damn if I played in the 1970's everyone would want me . I hit the most HR's and RBI's of my career the last 2 years and nobody wants me."

Yolmer always intrigues me. He hit 2 440ft.+ HR's last year. Would love to see if he could hit more bombs but I doubt he ever gets the chance. Only shot he has again is no Machado or playing regularly at 2nd base while Moncada moves to CF. Don't see that happening. As far as him being the equal of Moustakas we could say that but in an odd kind of way. Both pretty much the same WAR but Yolmer gets his WAR from fielding and base running mostly while Moustakas gets his from more HR's, higher SLG, OPS , OPS+ .

mmm hmmm

Welcome back. You must be rusty . I hope you realize that Manny Machado and Mike Moustaskas are both MM .

Without reading farther than this post I'll just say you probably derive much joy from stirring the pot with this.

And his name is Eloy Jimenez.

Then it truly was a long shot guess. Ha thanks.

Way too much gibberish in this thread about Jay. Not just you greg. It's one year and he doesn't move the needle much at all in next year. Who really cares ? Greg you know I'm with you on AVi , (God help me) but am I upset ? Nope. He could break out again with power and average. More than likely he won't. Jay will never be what Avi could be . Let's just forget Jay and Avi and let's start looking forward to Eloy Jimenez. Hitch your wagon to his star and forget the wannabees, couldhavebeens and neverwases. It's time to look forward.

I'll guess Casey Gillaspie even though he's younger than Tilson and has a lot more power. Kind of my long shot guess.

Are you sure it's not Yonder, Colome, Herrera, Jay.McCann, Nova and improvements from everyone else on the bus ??

A few weren't pleased the Sox took him in the draft so continuing not to like him is just confirmation bias. Even if he were to hit .333 across his next 2 levels you will still read negative things about him. It's just the beauty of so many baseball "experts" here.

Yea that Lisfranc thing. I believe that's the same surgery that concerned the Red Sox about JD Martinez so much that they structured his contract with clauses should it re-occur.

Ok lets ask Sigmund Fraud. He says men are programmed to exhibit confidence to attract the ladies. This confidence must be exhibited at all times or else you are a little b**** (feel free to insert your own sexist derogatory term here). Love ,Siggy

When to go to respond to post look in the lower left corner . It says notify me of replies. I think by default it's got a check mark and is green Just click on it and it will turn grey (off). I think thats just for the reply notification on the board, Not sure if it applies to emails.

Thank you. Very kind of you to take the time to come and post here. Good luck .

By that logic we should have a lot of extra money from the money we didn't spend the 1st 2 years of the rebuild on the 25 man rosters.

Add up to what ? Are the Sox already in luxury tax territory ? No ? OK hmm. Are they long term contracts ? No ? Will these short term contracts prevent the Sox from signing better players like a big pitcher next year ? No ? So yeah who cares ? Gripe whine troll 101 arguing over nothing.

Who cares ?

Get used to it. When more casual fans show up they don't quite get the big picture sometimes and when it's explained no one likes to back down .

That's why it was a question when I assumed it. There is no harm in adding Jay for a year. No downside whatsoever.

So your ranting and raving makes me think you wanted the Sox to challenge the Indians this year ? Think man think ! The starting pitching staff in no way resembles a staff that could even sniff the playoffs. So whats the most important thing the Sox can do for 2019 ? Sign MANNY MACHADO or/and Bryce Harper' I'm good if every single move they make leads to that !. Just about every one they've acquired so far accept McCann has Machado written all over it . We are married to Machado now just without the consummating the marriage yet. ( Let that mental image sink in ) You know what they say .Happy wife, happy life.

So now the IRA is involved ?
