Yes. I would be thrilled if we got 1.000 OPS seasons out of Yoan Moncada. Especially with his game changing speed and defensive potential. Tthat could be an MVP type of season in the right year.

Jennings was also a guy who was a free agent shortly after that trade, and a guy who was released in spring training. He is the definition of a fungible reliever. Even if Gillaspie bombs, which he probably will, that is a deal you make every single time as a team in the position that the Sox are/were in.

The fun part is the guys you target also need somewhere to play. We really can't bring in another OF at most of the teams in the system. Pitching is also pretty full at most teams. I don't know who is out there, but we need to be targeting SS and 3B if at all possible.

My personal favorite time of year is the short period of time where the high school basketball tourney kicks off the first week or March in Indiana, then the college BB tourney gets going, while the NHL/NBA are in their playoff pushes and spring training baseball starts appearing on TV. That month to five weeks period that ends with the NCAA final four the first weekend in April is heaven for me.

Today. Two days ago he admitted to Russian meddling so that he could blame it on Obama.

I would rather side with the CIA vs the KGB.

I will give a public +1.

Pretty much when they say "unchanged" they mean RH and KW. The rest has been churned over the last five years.

I know the competition is less than telling, but Yoelvin Silven was the starter for the DSL team. 42K's in 31 IP, and only 5 BB. He is 19 though (JUST turned it), but in his first official DSL action. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=681185#/career/R/pitching/2018/ALL

There is enough time left where there really isn't a good reason for someone to make a big bid, and there isn't any reason for us to take a lowered bid when we have 3.5 years of control left with the kid. If he comes back and pitches like the stud we drafted, his price goes into Sale/Q territory. If not, we still have more time to try to get value.

This reads like a guy who this morning just read that England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom are all different things for the first time.

And you are still lacking a superstar that gives you a chance in the modern NBA.

There is no worse time for a break than when the players you want to see play well, play well.

And 30 teams thought he wasn't worth a first round draft pick, let alone #4.

If we had drafted Beer instead of Madrigal I would have been fucking pissed right now. I doubt I am alone in that sentiment. You don't draft a DH with the 4th pick in the draft.

Anything really.

K rate coming up, walk rate coming down, leading to era coming down. It's progress.

Super low turnout usually favors the incumbent

Woah.. prayers for the family.

PREACH!

To the rebuild!

Yoan apparently needs to get hurt every game.

WAR literally stands for Win Above Replacement. A 2 WAR is 2 wins Above Replacement, but impressive to move the goalposts twice in the same post after being proven wrong.

It is also silly to disqualify people who leave. The Sox drafted and developed someone like Escobar in Minny, even if he succeeded elsewhere.
