Well he's on the 40 man now buddy! Sorta invalidates all that! It's obvious they made bringing him in a priority. Hey, ZIPS thinks if he plays 100 games he'll give us .5 fWAR! LFG! Pull it down! Getz did that! signed a 35 year old corner OF to a league min deal rather than just see what they have in the guy they traded a young pitching prospect for or Oscar Colas!

It's terrible process. You wasted the opportunity cost when clearly 29 other teams wanted nothing to do with him at any price, at any roster spot. How can anybody defend this move? Sure, it "cost nothing" only if you ignore the opportunity cost of bringing someone that actually might have value and/or contribute to the next good Sox team. You're telling me you'd rather have this guy clogging up the back of the roster than someone like Canaan Smith-Njigba?

Why in gods name was he ever offered 3 million guaranteed anyways he obviously has no market based on the events of this weekend. just a dumb signing and one they continue on with it seems.

Bro the mopes you're yelling at have been living and dying with this franchise for decades. We know what the Sox' median season is. We know what the spreadsheets say. Like, focus on some positives sure (even I have) but just don't yell at people not blowing sunshine and rainbows before the season even starts.

@Dick Allenis not a guy that has a history of puffing up the Sox. For some reason, that seams to be your reason to exist here. Like just calm down a bit it's only March 23rd. By July, there's like an 80% chance we're 10 under and your account will be deactivated. If we're not? Well, crow then. There's only so many strawmen people can knock down in the meantime.

I haven't been to G-Rate in years but all that food looks lazy and behind fads to me. Jack and coke float, well, I'll give them that one.

These guys are on one. I've rarely heard such smoke blown up a fanbase's ass -- even for a JR joint.

He's a ballplayer. Use him.

Mike Cameron gets a shout for sure.

A bruised foot? How the f*** does that happen dude goes to the plate with all sorts of body armor. did he drop a dumbbell on his foot working out on IG live?

No gun and back plate camera but looked to have a sharp breaking ball and was working ground balls or weak pop outs for the most part. Was around the plate which in spring can be meaningless imo as no real scouting reports either way on how to work guys. But stuff yea, was there.

and now we have an onlyfans e-girl in the booth I guess.

I figured it was some minor celebrity fan or maybe a marketing guy. It's our director of player personnel.

WHO THE f*** IS IN THE BOOTH RIGHT NOW? THEY JUST SAID THE SOX HAVE ONE OF THE BEST POSITION PLAYER CORES IN MLB? THEY ARE PROUD OF THE WORK THEY'VE DONE AROUND THE CATCHING SPOT???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? omg IT WAS GENE WATSON. SELL THE TEAM!

Dejong strikes out on a 3-2 fastball that looked to be 6 inches off the plate.

Entire team jogging off the field on a lazy fly ball to right. Yikes. I know it's not regular season but at least pretend to backup a base.

lol why the f*** would you bring the infield in there? It's DE LA CRUZ! Grifol is a fucking idiot.

Soroka is looking good. Breaking ball looks to have some bite. Maldonado however sucks. Jesus christ.

We might have the worst bottom 4 in all of baseball. We need a Hawk "that didn't take long" button for the game threads.

56-61 for me. I don't think some people have caught on to the new schedule quite yet. We're going to get beat up by the West and East and the Central too, to be fair.

Mariners turning Kelenic into two TJS during what is ostensibly their contention window is wild, even for that s%*# club. Watch kelenic have 2 WAR and the Ms to miss the 2nd wildcard by a game.

Talked about this a bit with @ptatc he can make like 20-25 starts for about 75-90 innings. It's a different game now, if he averages 4 innings a start that's not bad, not great, but not bad. Key will be 4 innings and 2 runs, not 4.

Maybe if he mentally knows he only has to pitch an inning or even just a couple batters he can perform. I'm not high on him anymore, at all, I think injuries have lowered his true talent to basically slightly better than replacement, but in a throwaway season for the club it will be at least interesting to see if he can harness something as a reliever.

The year is 2021, you're told Garrett Crochett is the opening day 2024 starter. Who wouldn't be excited! Come on!

I was hoping he'd go into "openers" and "headliners".
