Sox win tomorrow, I believe that will be 3 straight series wins, with the last 2 series being won after losing game 1. Kind of a nice surprise.
Pitching has been great so far.

Looks to me that he's someone who needs time in AAA
Eh he's already hit 300 down there, at this point if he's going to develop it will be in MLB, he's still young. And his defense for the most part has been good.

"Slugger" haha
yea that article was a little too optimistic. He's off to a hot start, but he's got a lot of work still to do.

This is an embarrassment of an inning for Hawk. Really tired of this crap, it's his like fourth game and he sounds bitter and tired
Yup, it's pathetic. If you don't want to call the game, RETIRE.

May has to feel so awful. It's like clock work... either a lazy pop fly to center or a weak ground out to 2nd
he's on the only team in MLB that would give him a roster spot, let a lone a starting gig, so I'm sure he's fine.

May mis-read that ball... First step was in. Ball ended up hitting the warning track. Tell me again how his sole purpose for being here is defense. They teach you in High school that on fly balls your first step is always back.
He had no chance either way but FWIW I saw the same thing in spring. He's fast, he's not especially instinctual.

He batted .229 with 3 hr and 13 RBI last April... and not much better in May.
He has left a lot of easy RBI out there.
He needs to do his job.. right now he isn't contributing on offense and is a liability on defense.
I continue to believe he's about 2-3 years older than listed.
Tyler is a nice player but worrying about a too crowded IF is just worrying to worry. If the Sox have too many good starting IF then that's a good f***ing problem to have and you don't ask Moncada to move off 2B for some future hypothetical that isn't even a big problem if it happens.
If Davidson is actually legit then you move him to 1B, you move Jose to DH and you put Tyler at 3B. That also assumes that Tyler is a worthy starter. A lot of assuming. And hey, if it all these guys turn into solid regulars as mentioned that's a great "problem" to solve.
