It was incoherent. If it was a undergrad essay it would have required an extra red marker.

I read that article this morning and it's one of the most moronic, dumb articles I've ever read. None of it made any sense. It was some of the worst, lazy "journalism" of the season. I didn't bother linking it because it was so bad.

The Charlotte team is pretty fun right now:

Well it's not much but I believe he now has healthcare for life and a partial pension for life as well. The pension is something like 9K a year for life. Probably not enough to life on unless he wants to go back to the Dominican and live quite frugally but he's certainly got a good start on the rest of his life -- if he does retire.

Stretch!

It is freaking amazing that the Sox had horrible, no good backup catchers for like a decade, and now that they have had a plethora of riches at catcher for a couple years, with Collins now a part of that as the backup, that people can't see how great the Sox have it when Collins is your backup. Every single team in the league would give their left nut for a backup catcher with a 115ish wRC+ against RHP. It's not Zach's fault that Grandal is hurt. That said, get Zevala off this roster. I don't care if Lucroy keeps getting released he's a better player than Zevala right now.

Jesus Christ why is he diving!

Neither is close to contending IMO. They might be close to becoming a .500 team. KC has no pitching; Detroit needs half a dozen position players. I hope KC over values him and their roster and they screw it up.

I think he has similar value to Rutherford at the time. Hopefully Sox are willing to take on some prorated salary to grease a trade.

I think he could easily return an excellent reliever. Not saying that should be the goal but he has trade value similar to the return the Sox got in the Kahnle deal imo.

I think he looks like a mediocre 3B. He has a good arm but everything else defensively is below avg. If he hits it doesn't matter. He's an intriguing trade chip.

Great post. Looking at the stats of the players you named I'm going Hinske. A useful player but not a guy you want starting on a good team.

Twins are emotionally wrecked and on hug watch, they might even give Cruz and Donaldson a day off. Keep the pain coming.

you need to drop more bombs bruh.

yea but did you catch a buzz?

haven't seen that much emotion out of Yoan much. You love to see it. and lol at Abreu getting out of the box like a tired old mule fetching the water bucket. just another 3 RBI to the tally.

we need to pin this thread.

worse things have happened to better people. just roll with it. sometimes when you're the straw the stirs the drink the drink gets slammed and you just end up in the dish pit.

You know I'm not much of a "wokester" or one of those guys that will wax philosophical about the waning influence of AAs on baseball -- but I fucking love Goodwin, TA and Billy and I'm glad they are on our side. It's going to be really hard to have to cut one of these guys come the return of Eloy and Robert. Maybe they can squeeze them onto the roster for expansion, but one of them will have to be left off the playoff roster I'd imagine.

calm down my friend.

Hey Rick, can we get a discount on your son? Maybe 4 years 100 million with a couple options?

lol you got me before the edit. good vibes only right now.

no message. give me back my delete!

For sure. And hey, with a 9.5 game lead, for now, it's a great philosophy. Keep these guys fresh for October.
