Cool, it will be nice to throw out an elite defensive OF late in games and get Eloy out of there.

Vlad Jr and the Blue Jays are the most over rated player and team in MLB respectively. What a joke. .1 WAR for truffle shuffle dude and the Blue Jays thoroughly mediocre. East coast bias (Toronto counts) is still quite prevalent. Watching MLB network and this shit is so over the top on the Blue Jays.

Man being good has some of guys in a daze. There is huge downside risk to any trades this year relative to upside. Sure you have to give to get but the pot odds are not there right now for an all in move. Standing pat is just fine. There are more hands to play in this contention window, years worth.

This is a powerful moment. I selfishly want them to play. If they don't I stand with them however. I get the feeling with leaders like TA, Gio and Jose they will take a day. That's OK. Sports are the reward for a functioning society...

It was a reach pick but I don't really remember who else was available. I just remember watching his scouting tape at 3rd and thinking this dude is nothing but a 1B/LF type at best. The comp was Schwarber, which didn't excite me. Anyways, it might have been Burger who convinced the Sox to change their draft strategy and go for more variance and upside. Too often the "safe" pick in the draft isn't really that safe it turns out.

Yea that's a good point about Manfred. It's just unlikely to happen for various reasons even though on paper it would be a great fit human factors are going against it.

You think knowing everything about Bauer that we do that if he signed here he wouldn't have already cleared the air with Cooper? He's unlikely to sign here for various reasons but if he does, the Sox will already have a plan he can live with, including the dollars on his checks.

That's heretical!

Nothing will ever beat Hawk and Wimpy in their prime but Jason and Stone this year have been good. Jason, god bless him, finally has realized he can let the game speak for itself at times. He's learned that he doesn't have to pepper stone with a million questions to fill the air -- some of that is no doubt just having a fun entertaining club, but Jason has improved.

I dunno are they having the AFL this year? How about Dominican league? Really just depends. He's getting reps at Shaumburg but if he can get 200+ more PA in real games this fall and winter he's not going to need many more in the high minors before he's ready. He certainly looked ready this spring before COVID hit. He's got one of those swings that just plays against all levels of competition. He's as direct to the ball as any Sox hitter in recent memory: there's no wasted movement in his giddy up.

Sober up buddy he's fine.

Sox have best RD in AL and 2nd in baseball after LA. They lead baseball in WAR. Is this real life?

cishek has been pretty bad.

moncada the vacuum.

jesus, unlucky, this kid just hits rockets.

the 1st base ump is blind.

MENDICK IS A GUY WHO FUCKS!
