has the potential to be the best position player out of the state of michigan in 30 some years. not easy up there with such a short season and a lot of kids focused on other sports.

Maybe they give Vasil the Hagen role? I dunno, can you really expect more than 500 innings combined between Smith, Taylor, Kay? I doubt it. We need someone to eat some innings. Maybe Castillo will pull a miracle and give us 160-170. They aren't going to let his option vest over that. We really need to sign a proven #2 or 3 starter that can project for 180ip around a 3.8 ERA.

Bonemer is destroying AFL pitching. First HR today, OPS is over 1100. I'd guess he starts in AAA next year and they hope he's ready by July.

Yea my hope is he just gives us like 110 innings of slightly below avg sp.

Jose Abreu is the man and needs to brought into the Sox' family one way or another.

IF defense is key and I don't see any changes there given every player is solid starter to star level and young and cheap: Vargas, Colson (who the f*** is Colston? He plays TE not SS), Chase, Mune. C: Teel, Quero. Quero has earned the backup role imo. He'll be fine as a cheap 35/45 type. Teel is gonna catch 120+ next year imo. He is just hungry and the injuries were fluke things from WBC. OF: Peters, Sam, Braden, Doyle. Just eat the Beni salary. See what Grich wants. Baldwin will factor in I'd imagine. It's interesting, he had the patch repair (which is better for position players) so he should have been full go for a few months now, at least swinging. He's still got a bit of shine imo. He's more impressive physically in person that you'd think. Utility guys will shake out, no real use projecting. I don't think they are particularly tied to Acuna, to their credit. The obvious place to trade would be corner. You could probably package Braden and Beni and ____ for something. I'm not saying you do it, but it wouldn't be awful on paper. Ant is same. I like Ant more than Braden, but both have flaws. Both are also young and talented enough that trading them could come back to bite us. I would only do it for an obvious SP upgrade with some control. Someone threw out a trade for Kirby from Seattle. I could see that. Bonemer will have to force the issue. Same with Roch. We'll see if anybody else does. It does seem like they think Bonemer might be a CF. This team will be projected like 81-81 next year without any spending, pretty good spot to be in. Too bad we have to pay Castillo but you never know. Maybe he can surprise.

Bulls look young and fun. Might not win more than 30 games, but I think they will avoid the bottom 3 and be a fun watch most nights.

Fan season. Had to turn game off last night for middle innings as it was bumming me out seeing it unfold, tuned back in to see some more bad ABs in the 8th and 9th. Ultimately the team just didn't have enough. I don't think they really choked so much as ran out of gas. None of these guys had played 160+ games in a season into October. It was a great experience and now players know what it will take when they resume off season workouts in a month or two. Turning the page to Bulls hoops locally. Should be another good season for Illini and it's a house money season for UM Hoops after the natty. See how the Bears do but I'm not much of any NFL fan. UM football looks back in the wilderness, oh well.

This 100%. I had to go for a walk last night during the game to cool off. Gotta just decompress a bit. We've all posted a fuckload this year. I see the 2027 rotation thread is still pretty active, so people are talking, just not about stuff so raw.

Can't say it enough: player's families need to get the hell off social media. Now Kay's family is chirping? You're not the main character, shawdup!

Well boys and girls, we got at least one more game. Been a fun ass season and a promising one regardless. But it ain't over till it's over! Let's get it.

are you fucking KIDDING ME?

need a miracle dp.

i've defended will all year, he's been fucking awful the last two games, awful.

this is gross.

lol and now taylor is in? wtf are we doing?

he just missed it.

get out of hte fucking way.

He's a good defensive 1B no doubt.

Mune is fucking nails at 1B.

but can 4?

the first one ok whatever you don't want to be too agrro there but 2 strikes to whiff on that bullshit is crazy.

come the f*** on, DIII curveball gets him.

we need ONE big hit.

Time for Mune to deliver.
