It's a lot. I assume Witherspoon's stock is down a little bit.
-
Adam Engel is the comp. Just my opinion. And that could make you like him or not like him
-
FWIW, Stephenson is a pretty bad defender. Great at blocking, terrible framer, so-so thrower. Sox seem to care about that stuff.

Stephenson has top-notch plate discipline, no surprise that Getz would like him.
-
No idea what the Padres are up to. Maybe they trade him again by the end of the day, lol

In general, seems like Sox aren't too leaky.

Sox DFA DavittYeah, your trade partners don't want those guys either though.My point was not to focus too much on recent performance or past performance, i.e. they both count. A lot of the secret sauce in this business is figuring out when the very recent past is lying to you and when it's not.That guy has gone off like a bomb in a couple of my family group chats in recent months lolFake account IIRCI said what???More newsThink the Sox were calling?TBH, I'm not sure that Liam Hicks makes all that much sense for the Sox. Sketchy defense, zero power, offensive numbers smell a bit like good luck, lefty bat. Probably going to cost too much because of team control.Doyle isn't making money and has minor league options. We don't even know if he's going to be in Chicago. If the risk is that the Sox can't resist giving bad players at bats, then there's nothing that can be done to save them.We may have to escape the binary thinking on guys where we either only look at what they've done this season or we only look at what they've done before this seasonDoyle = Adam Engel for better and worse I think is the way to look at it. Engel probably didn't show quite that much pop but was similarly one-dimensional as a hitter.I guess another possibility is that Braden's foot issue is a little more serious than expected.Sox must have seen Adams as someone who was going to get dropped in the impending 40-man crunch. But of course then he replaces him with a player on the 40-man.Another one of those middling prospects beloved by online Sox fans bites the dustYikes!Do you like Doyle more than Junior Perez? I could see it either way.My gut feeling is if Doyle is coming, it's just sort of filling the Nolan Jones slot of minor league depth reclamation project. Becomes more important of a role given the impending decision regarding Hays.
