This has nothing to do with any of that, but sure. Find more reasons to be mad about something that is pretty straight forward. Do you quit your job every time your boss does something you don't like?

Fired and quitting midseason are not the same thing.

I would "expect" you do be able to separate out being a "fan" and the common sense of how to deal with adversity in a professional situation. No one asked anyone to like it. Understanding it is pretty straight forward.

That's a few words to say that your expectations of a person ruining his professional career sooner than deal with something he doesn't like at work aren't realistic.

Injuries like that can happen literally at any point. You can go from a 2 to a 6 on the pain scale with the wrong swing or throw if something is already irritated. Players play with 2 pain all of the time, or they would never play. It is also worth mentioning that with the new rules limiting how many times a player can be optioned in a year, this is a backdoor work around that potentially as well.

I know people say that, but it might not be as easy as you want it to be. Remember when Kenny Williams wanted to interview for a promotion with Toronto, Jerry wouldn't let him. He required him to serve out his contract before he could interview, and by that time the opportunity was gone. No idea what Hahn's deal looks like, but his opportunities are probably serve out his contract, or make a scene quitting midseason, and make himself look poisonous for quitting on his team during a season like Ozzie did. Even if he did quit, I am pretty sure he wouldn't be able to take another similar job in MLB until his original deal expired. Is it worth all of that reputation and professional risk?

Or something happened and it got worse. It happens.

It would have been interesting to have a manager who was willing to use both Hendriks and Kimbrel in various situations to see if he could actually maximize having two closers at the back of the been. Instead Tony just kept doing the same thing day after day, and watching it fail day after day.

I wonder how much they backdated this? That might be the telling part. And for Jake this is way better than being sent down as it allows him to still draw and MLB check and be around the team.

The one thing I keep thinking is that the Twins have just as bad of an injury history as the Sox do, but I do think their hitting approach would be different, so I would guess more, but still as many games missed due to injury.

Put Tony on the banner. End this all now.

Soon to begin the "Showcase" of Yosimar Cousin, Yunior Tur and Geisel Cepeda at Telelo Vargas, stadium of the Estrellas Orientales in the Dominican Republic.

If they stay there the entire season, their bonus is tax free, essentially giving them about a 40% higher cash payout than if they had played in the US. It is a way of outbidding teams without offering more money. It makes sense for both the player and the team.

My crazy prediction this winter was that Kenny does indeed finally step down, and Tony steps into his role. I have yet to see anything that is preventing that from happening, in fact it would be the perfect "exit strategy" to keep him from resigning or being fired, while still leaving graciously.

He hasn't looked confident at all since his return. I wonder if he is still achy.

And he's done neither. Bravo.

How about now?

Should have specified the Sox.

And it is worse than it has ever been. They are baseball learning disabled.

There is just so little info on him, but also he is destroying DSL. With the Sox system I would say definitely after the top group. Maybe around 15 or 20? The back half of the top 30 is pretty sad.

He suffers like we do? Cool, then retire and end both of our sufferings.
