Lol.

Steve Stone takes another shot at Michael Kopech.

Yeah, the Soxtalk jinx means the pen will now go into a 3 month long historical meltdown.

What? Who? Are you aching for the Charlie Tilson era? Can't enough of May? Cordell is hurt and out for an extended period of time, so it isn't him.

Just over the wires.

We have a system full of big time arms. It will be very interesting to see how they all shake out and who succeeds.

I really am surprised that it wasn't Eloy going up.

Sox are down about 20% YoY, with some obvious caveats. Even that considered, it isn't pretty.

If you believe in the stats, his numbers should be about two full runs better than they are right now.

The other thing is that the pen will be a whole lot more effective when they are covering 3 to 4 innings a night instead of 7 or 8.

One thing is painfully obvious with those numbers, our defense sucks right now.

All of those long suffering Golden Knights fans can finally rejoice!

2017 Davidson is better anyway.

Agreed, especially with the management team they have in place, they are completely risk averse when it comes to dealing prospects. I think there is a much better a chance a team on the fringe who is trying to grab the moment versus the Dodgers.

McCann hasn't had a single year in his career where the vast majority of his starts didn't come as a catcher. I mean it isn't even close. 2015 1042 innings as a catcher, 16 as a 1B 2016 757 Innings C, 5 at 1B 2017 827 C, 0 at 1B

I mean you absolutely listen, but based on what teams have been paying for similar players, it doesn't look good.

This just needs the control C, control V treatment.

You aren't even trying anymore.

You really can't go back in time a decade as the move away from these type of players has been over the last few years.

I make it a rule to NOT read comments sections. As a rule, that is where the least informed and most opinionated people hang out. And let's be honest here. Nothing the Chicago PD has to say about 20 years ago should be accepted as fact. They routinely tortured people into confessions for crimes they didn't commit in order to close cases, and in some times to cover their own crimes, even keeping a secret interrogation center off of the books that the used to beat subjects into submission. The City of Chicago has paid out over nine figures in lawsuits and settlements to pay off victims of these crimes. People like Jon Burge wrote confessions for victims and fed them to them, so his "knowing" details of the crime while being innocent isn't even that implausible. Finally there is zero physical evidence connecting him or the other man convicted of this crime. At this point, this is Donald Trump saying that the Central Park 5 are still guilty, even after they have been full exonerated.

Lucroy was dealt for a PTBNL at the deadline, but also could catch. Carlos Beltran has been dealt a few times, the last was for nothing. The big Beltran deal about a decade ago he was still a stud in the OF.

Again, if there is a more accurate deal out there, I would like to hear it.

This is a take straight out of the Central Park 5.

Last report was early in June, so maybe two weeks-ish.

Didn't DNA evidence prove him innocent?
