That kid has it made.

This Abreu guy is pretty good.

That's a great call. Nicky is going to be a player from the 60's with the way he plays the game. A middle infielder with marginal pop, but high average and great baseball IQ.

With the way this season has gone, I think the Sox make a quick strike this winter for either Stroman or Bauer.

Imagine getting hurt feelings over Adam Engel while the team is in 1st place for the first time in years.

I don't think you even read the details here because your first rant is clearly covered.

That was always a personal favorite.

1st place b****es!!!

It's between Abreu and TA at this point, but I would lean Jose right now.

28 other teams should be pissed too.

Thats a great point. But I am sure he is only responsible for EE and Mazara.

This. It's almost too early to fire Ricky with the step forward these guys are taking.

This means he was literally 28% better. That isn't like 28 OPS points here. 28 points is a BIG number here.

Come on. Have you not seen the roster we have now, and what they are doing? Did you miss guys like Tatis, Abreu and Robert that came from Paddy? Did you miss us having a guy like Tim Anderson? This take is a decade outdated.

I hadn't seen it yet.

I was wondering about this. Typically it is August 31st, so they must have adjusted it for this season.

If we go into the playoffs with any kind of momentum at all, RR will be back in 21

There was a big fear that if Carlos Rodon went in the top 2, that the Sox would take Nola, and it was a very unpopular idea. Sox fans wanted either Rodon or Kolek for the most part. Nola was viewed as the "safe" pick.

On draft night, people were 100% opposed to both Nola and Singer.

Yep. He won the Aaron Nola award on Soxtalk for the Pitcher that Soxtalk was absolutely pissed that the Sox might take.

Playing along at home, I think the Sox either sign Stroman, Bauer, or swing a trade for a controlled top end SP.

Everyone is looking at the top here, but the reality is that a ton of scouting and development has been changed in recent years, as well as the analytics people.

Timmy

Tim was the first big sign that the Sox were figuring out the drafting and development of position players. He is a victory for this organization from top to bottom.
