South Side Fireworks Man

Alright Liam, let's close this out!

Gone Vaughn!

Time for our "high powered offense" to put up.

Crap.

Gotta love that!

Bullshit call, but we'll take it.

Seems like it would be easy to intercept the signal if someone really wanted to cheat.

Robert!

Nice AJ!

Jake Burger, ladies and gentlemen!

So does it look like the game is going to start on time?

Moncada.

So the Sox went from trying to fill the hole in RF with Infielders and DH's to filling it with a LFer. At least he's an outfielder.

Moncada for an ace with a few years of team control, if it were possible. Burger then goes to 3B.

Jack Dreese and Billy Pierce did the Sox games on TV when they moved from WGN Ch.9 to WFLD Ch. 32 around 1968 or '69.

I agree. If it's only for the first month or two it's not a bad idea at all for the reasons you state.

If it's only for April, I have absolutely no problem with this.

Maybe some of the old timers here can confirm or correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember the Sox games starting around 8:00pm back in the '60s when I was a little kid. Am I remembering wrong?

And there you have the main reason.

No need to worry, we have Leury.

I know it's just spring training but still - Leury at DH LOL! Gotta get him his ABs.

The Sox should've figured out what would provide better defense: Moncada at 3B and Burger at 2B, or Burger at 3B with Moncada at 2B and just rolled with that instead of wasting money and roster spot on 35 year old Josh Harrison.

If they think Burger can play decent 3B and give them more power why not get an absolute haul for Moncada if they can to improve the team as a whole? If they're not going to spend big bucks to improve via free agency then they must improve via trade. I'd rather trade Moncada for a haul than someone like Burger for a one year rental.

I wonder what the Sox could get in return for Moncada.

That would suck.
