Chuck was asked if he's seen Jake this spring on his twitter. Chuck very carefully said he's got a long road back and to not write him off. Did not mention any Burger sightings. You know how easy it would be for the Sox to post a video of Jake Burger taking soft toss and clear all this up? Very easy if Jake was around. Guess they could try a "deep fake".

FWIW I've been reading that this draft is LOADED with prep arms. I think it was Law that said there are half a dozen prep pitchers that would have been the #1 prep guy taken in 2019. The Sox are going to be able to target a 60 FV guy at their spot, that's fucking awesome.

OK Bubble Wrap for three weeks please.

Might be trying it out just to give Moncada a feel. We'll see.

One TOR the starter short of a playoff run. Michael Kopech come on down.

Well if playing time early is any indication the Sox are going to give mendick the nod, at least for the first three weeks or whatever. he looks alright at SS in a ultra small sample so maybe he can be decent at 2B until Madrigal comes up -- it's only going to be about 20 games. you're talking about probably .5 WAR at absolute most lost, and that is at absolute most if mendick is replacement level until madrigal comes up. madrigal is going be the everyday guy barring injury anyways for 135 games.

IKR? You're at a fucking Suns game in spring training and your son is in an ELOY JIMENEZ SHIRT and then ELOY JIMENEZ is right there? I'm not at all an athlete or celeb stan but that would be pretty fucking cool: according to that guy, it was Eloy's buddy, Aristedes Aquino of the Reds who initiated the conversation when he spotted that guy's kid wearing Eloy's jersey!

Didn't get any crab juice on his shirt tho.

just hover over their italics, er, name on the left and click ignore.

I'd imagine by the end of next week you'll see most of the prospects re-assigned to their affiliate, maybe a NRI cut or two, and then we are only two weeks away from opening day. Hard to believe it's basically 3 weeks away.

Sox go 123 in the 9th, game to the A's 6-5. Some good signs from the guys that matter today.

Vaughn has been power-lifting all offseason. He is THICK.

Wait this guy's name is "Sky Bolt"? lol

hard to judge with the camera so far towards 3rd but I thought it grabbed some plate. ump's been calling them strikes in that area all game from what I can tell.

Yermin battles but takes a called 3rd strike. Looked like it had a bit of the plate. Great pitch.

Yermin got a cookie and he fouls it off. @poppysox was surprised Vaughn was able to score on that, decent wheels.

Zach Remillard, a 26 year old former 10th round pick and not-really-a-prospect swings on 3-0 and keeps the train moving with a roped single into left. Yermin up with two outs and a chance to tie or take the lead.

Vaughn, in really tough conditions with the sun, rips one down the right field line for a double. What a beautiful swing.

Palka ground out. Vaughn up.

Who is 87? He looks like a clown with those glasses and that chain.

Some guy named "Johnson" is currently sucking.

Not really sure how the fuck Robert didn't take 3rd there. Must have badly misread the play.

There ya go Nick! Rips a single up the middle on 0-2 for the RBI.

Robert works a walk. Solid AB. Chance for Madrigal to drive in a run.
