Seems pretty random across the board

He is still trash. Thats the browns

Stop me if you heard this before, Carson Wentz having an unremarkable start and gets himself injured taking unnecessary hits

Vikings and Browns early game on NFL network

We used to have skunky beer parties, bring a case of cheap beer and we had a tub we would fill with ice we would dump them in. A lotta keystone ice, natty light, and high life 😂

The Phillies have reached the Find Out portion of the program

Props to David Robertson for pitching in his 17th season. Maybe shouldn’t have started this inning tho

lol now they are saying the Cubs were rolling the dice by starting Boyd

2 out but still fun

That Hoerner E was extremely uncharacteristic and not a good sign for them

I feel like Quero is likely to get moved but not this offseason. I think he will be on the team next year at the very least, possibly a few years

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mike-lombardi-tells-unc-donors-that-the-program-will-focus-on-freshmen LOL at making Lombardi the GM here. Everything going great for Bill

They weren’t avoiding MNF, the season ended Sunday, they always have a day off before playoffs start in case they have a tie break game.

Hoping he is traded

Wdym, it’s in my post lmao

I did not intend to bring you down! 😂

Catcher 2025 Kyle Teel/ Edgar Quero -> 2026 Kyle Teel/ Edgar Quero honestly this is the most exciting position on the team for me. Teel just seems like the type of player that everyone that follows the team will love for his entire career, extremely enthusiastic and fun to watch. Quero seemed like he faded a lot down the stretch but get his ass in the gym in the offseason and hopefully next season we can see a complete year from him. I do, however, feel like this combination will not be for long, and Quero will likely be dealt at some point. First Base 2025 Miguel Vargas -> 2026 Miguel Vargas this feels like a pick that is mostly because there is no organization first baseman waiting to take this spot. Did everyone know that Miguel Vargas changed his hand position earlier this season and it did wonders for him? I found that out 287 times this season. Vargas did have some good runs, there is no doubt, but the droughts were not aesthetically appealing Second Base 2025 Chase Meidroth -> 2026 Chase Meidroth I know they messed around with him at short this year, but imo he needs to stay at second because the arm and range isn’t as good as it needs to be for short. The guy is a grinder but he needs to stay healthy. Shortstop 2025 Colson Montgomery - 2026 Colson Montgomery clearly his power has opened everyone’s eyes, but his defense I felt was even better than advertised which gave him a lot of rope when he had some dry spells. I really hope they can get him a better plan at the plate in 26, because there was a lot of at bats where he just went up there looking for one fastball and that was all, and good pitchers worked him over. 3rd Base 2025 Curtis Mead -> 2026 Curtis Mead I think the ship has sailed on Lenyn Sosa being a starter at 3rd, and they seem to like Mead despite his lack of power. I’m not a fan of it, but maybe he finds that extra bit of muscle and some of those doubles leave the park. This could be solved via trade (Robert?), I won’t be surprised if it is resolved that way Left field 2025 Brooks Baldwin -> 2026 Brooks Baldwin his defense was an adventure, to put it mildly. I have always felt that he needs to be put in one spot and left there to be at his best, but they keep moving him all over the diamond. I’m a believer in this kid, I like his bat and I think it will only get better. Center Field 2025 Michael A Taylor -> 2026 Braden Montgomery I am planning on Robert getting traded this offseason. I feel like they are going to be very aggressive with Braden and right now I see no reason why not, outside of him completely faceplanting in spring training. Right Field 2025 Michael Tauchman - 2026 Michael Tauchman I hate for this to stay static, but feels like both parties are happy with the arrangement. Maybe this could also be resolved via trade but I’m not seeing a up and coming RF coming back to the team any time soon, and we can’t put Benintendi out there again. DH 2025 Lenyn Sosa/Andrew Benintendi -> 2026 Lenyn Sosa/Quero or Teel (whoever is not starting) sosa showed us that when he gets hot, he can put up some big offensive numbers. Unfortunately for him, that glove is suspect at best. He will likely got starts at first and second for the benefit of everyone resting, but I think he spends most of his time at DH rotating with Teel and Quero for matchups Bench I’m not gonna go 2025 guy to 2026 guy because this is a “position” that you fill towards the end of spring training with Swiss Army knife guys that can provide good defense in a pinch. The Rojas experiment was a harsh lesson for all of us, and it seemed like everyone else they threw out there produced better than he did. I have doubts that they spend that kind of money on a “super sub” any time soon. for arguments sake, these were the bench guys in 2025, if you want to argue anyone in 2026 im all ears 1b/DH Tim Elko - despite the belief of a certain acronym that this guy should ask the Sox to release him so he can go start for a World Series contender, the hole in his bat was huge and put him back in AAA/AAAA hell 3B Bryan Ramos - this guy feels to me like someone who never really finds his footing with the Sox but finds success elsewhere OF Will Robertson - also seems stuck in AAA/AAAA hell. I’m doubtful he finds his way out but who knows, maybe the pedigree finally surfaces OF Corey Julks - See above. OF Dominic fletcher - I want to believe in this guy, even being a short dude. He seems like a gamer, I just don’t know that he will ever get “there” IF/OF Curtis Mead - he actually showed some promise, but like I previously mentioned it really feels like there should be more power in that frame IF/OF Joshua Rojas - an unmitigated disaster. A lot of money (for this payroll) and -1.5 WAR through mid August. Hard to understand how bad he was in the role he was given but here we are OF Michael A Taylor - I’m glad he got to retire on his terms. That’s all I got to say about that C Korey Lee - he is a strange cat in that sometimes he definitely looks like a legitimate major league catcher and other times you wonder why he is on the field. He has two good catchers in front of him so it’s hard to see a consistent role for him at the major league level looking at the roster apparently there was a guy named Ben Cowles on the team as well. I don’t believe this, but you can believe it if you want

Let’s try and make some educated guesses on how you think this team will look when they break camp in 2026 compared to the starters at the end of 2025 Starting Pitchers 1. 2025 Shane Smith -> 2026 Shane Smith easy one here. Shane ended 2025 very strong after a lull in the middle of the season (which followed a strong start that put him in the all star game) . 2. 2025 Jonathan Cannon -> 2026 Davis Martin Cannon was first injured, then demoted for a good portion of the season. It was a disappointing season for him, and I for one thought he would be better this season but he became batting practice. Davis Martin looked like he finally belonged at the end of the season, he might not be a true #2 but in this rotation he will be. 3. 2025 Davis Martin -> 2026 Mike Vasil this may be misguided but I felt like Vasils stuff was starter worthy and he deserved a shot. We will see, he was valuable out of the pen and they may want to keep him there 4. 2025 Yoendrys Gomez -> 2026 free agent Not an inspiring guess, but I have to think they are gonna sign a Martin Perez type again for “veteran leadership” and innings eating experience 5. 2025 Sean Burke -> 2026 Sean Burke Burke was demoted, and came back strong in September but I don’t believe we will be seeing him as Opening Day starter again and letting him figure out in the 5th slot could be very beneficial for him. overall, I don’t see Schultz or Smith making it out of camp. There is a huge blob of intriguing guys but it seems like a lot of them spent 2025 recovering from season ending surgery. The last two spots could be vultured by any of them and I will not be surprised. bullpen 2025 Stephen Wilson -> 2026 Stephen Wilson had a strong start to the season but imo was pretty NOT fun to follow at the end. He seemed to have a hand in pretty much every blown lead. I hope someone else can take his place as Venables safety blanket but I don’t think they will. 2025 Jordan Leasure -> 2026 Jordan Leasure He had imo the inverse season that Wilson had, and flashed a lot of potential in the last month, hopefully he can build on that and continue to get better 2025 Grant Taylor - 2026 Wikelman Gonzalez It seems like Taylor just really wants to start, and if the Sox agree with that, I have to think they will put him in the minors to stretch him out for that role. Wikelman had some nasty run on his pitches, hopefully he can find the strike zone 2025 Tyler Gilbert - 2026 Tyler Gilbert the Sox need some left handed relievers to figure it out. Gilbert looked better than Eisert to me, and I would definitely lean on him over Eisert 2025 Brandon Eisert -> 2026 Fraser Ellard I don’t see them giving up on Eisert yet, and he seems to find the plate a little better than Ellard, but Ellard seems to have a little more boring nastiness in his repertoire. He reminds me (good and bad) of Aaron Bummer. 2025 Cam Booser -> 2026 somebody, anybody thats pretty much my entire thought on him. It will probably be Eisert 2025 Mike Vasil - 2026 Free Agent off the scrap heap if I’m right on Vasil moving to a starting role, then someone will need to replace him as the emergency innings eater and opener. Could be a rule 5 guy as well. 2025 Tyler Alexander -> 2026 Jairo Iriarte i know they want to see if Jairo can keep it around the plate. In his 6 games pitched, he has 8 walks and 6 Ks. Tyler was a mop up guy and pitched accordingly. Death is not an option. the “Blob of Intriguing players”(BoIP) mentioned above also contains guys that could conceivably unseat anyone mentioned above. Nobody should feel safe in this bullpen. Competition is going to be key but we aren’t looking at a Zumaya type that will come up and blow us all away. I can’t even pick a closer here because nobody looked like a closer, they just happened to be the last pitcher in the game when it ended Position players next…

I’m gonna ask you one more time to end this.

Deer had crazy power. I was only baseball “aware” of him at the end of his career, so all I remember is he was good for 3 ks and a homer that might leave the stadium. Crazy he had his best year with Detroit in 92 which was almost the end for him.

Look, I’m not looking to foster this argument. If you don’t like it, tough s%*#. I’m sure you could be profound, but you choose to post the way you do instead, and I accept you for being that way

Guys we are gonna end this conversation about Shaw, unless we are keeping it at baseball. We all have our opinions on what happened with him, and those opinions aren’t going to flame this board one way or another. It’s ending now

Horrific decision to give the ball to Kyren Williams again.

lol I don’t gamble I just make bad suggestions for others to avoid

Someone needs to give Tatis the Ivan Drago treatment between innings
