He might be a change of scenery guy. We have a strong young Latin American presence that could help him. Former top 15 prospect/$5mm signing. Easy swing. Nice arm. He's got a lot more upside than Walker, but he's running out of time.

Well, duh. Sox fans have grown into bi-polar babies in the last few years.

Why not both?

The only retribution is to get Yoan to bang Wheeler's wife.

Thematically, I like the Western aspect. It's the narrative that's full of tropes. It's like Star Wars is completely incapable of doing anything original.

If the show is just going to be recycled Western/Kurasawa tropes in space, it's bad. The last 2 episodes were bad.

They lost me in the last 2 episodes. Bad.

Soxtalk experts have had a rough couple days.

Move those goalposts my dude. Man, you say some weird stuff.

So he's not like Vazquez?

He made $99M in 14 seasons.

53.7 in 14 seasons according to fangraphs.

He was pretty consistently a 4-6 WAR pitcher. If we can get that from the left side, I'd be more than stoked.

A LH Vazquez? Sign me up. Vazquez was pretty damn good.

As others have pointed out, he has very similar fly ball numbers to Gio. I think there's value in having a left handed vet on this staff, but if the rumors about his price tag are true, I'm a no.

Ryu also had a higher fWAR.

I disagree, but okay.

I think Wheeler is a better pitcher than Bumgarner, but I also think Bumgarner is a better fit for the Sox. Roster construction matters.

Maybe the Cuban connection was very real with Grandal and signing Abreu was a part of it.

He was 9th over the last 2 years combined. Even worse. I just don't fWAR is the be all/end all, especially when we consider projection.

It's not like Sox fans have a good reputation. I mean, come on man. ?

You're just all over the place and being really emotional, like our boy Jack.

Wheeler looks better because he throws 1000mph, but his actual performance has always left a little to be desired. I think he's probably the riskiest of that group.

Philly is a nice city and some people just don't like the Midwest. I certainly don't. It is what it is.

Take a walk or something.
