  1. Way to go out on a limb Phil. What's next? A hard hitting article about Moncada needing to make more contact with two strikes?
  2. It only what Manny Machado thinks is too substantial of a discount.
  3. Barstool is now going paywall. The comments are predictably awesome.
  4. Now this is a post that deserves a +1. Please spare us the stream of consciousness about what every national sports talking head thinks about the Sox and direct those feelings at them instead. Please and thank you.
  5. It will be interesting to see if the Sox can slip Clarkin through this time.
  6. I spent all winter agreeing with this logic, but there is one asterisk. If it gets you Manny, you do it. If you THINK it could get you Manny, you still do it. I couldn't care less about John Jay's production in 2019, unless he produces us Manny Machado.
  7. If you got Leury's bat and arm with Adam's glove and health, you would have an actual starting CF.
  8. I mean you can. Even if Manny doesn't sign, John Jay is a decent upgrade over Adam Engel. You might not like it, but the numbers are there. If we aren't chasing Manny, I would rather see Engel get the ABs out there to see if he can learn to hit, and basically punt on 2019. But the Manny factor is something.
  9. I said this in a different thread last night, but if this were the Phillies or Yankees doing this, we'd have multiple posts wondering why Rick Hahn is asleep at the wheel and how little money and obligation that $13 million and one year of commitment is for each of these players.
  10. Without Harper, sure. But I don't see them committing somewhere between $600 and $700 million to two players.
  11. Sure, but Harper is already up over $300 million from his old team if you believe the latest reports. We are probably talking $350 to $400 million to get him away from Washington.
  12. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/5-mlb-prospects-who-could-move-quickly-in-2019/
  13. Their GM was out trolling their own teams players on twitter under anonymous accounts. THAT is embarrassing.
  14. If you had told me in October that a thread about John Jay would have made 22 pages, I would have laughed at you
  15. I am more embarrassed that somehow we should be doing less to attract top free agent talent.
  16. The growth of FS has been insane, and a good chunk of that is directly because of your vision, hardwork, and effort Matt.
  17. If you think you are getting a 3-0 fastball you swing for the fences if you swing. That doesn't mean you are going to get it.
