I will never get people who catch hurt feelings when our players do well.

Maybe

Let's be honest. Rodgers is just going to turn another receiver into a star.

Vaughn could have easily spent another year or even two destroying crappy MiLB pitching and none would have thought twice. In fact it probably would have served to increase the hype around the kid. I don't think it can be overstated enough how impressive this kid holding his own last year actually was.

The fact that both Castellanos and Conforto are sitting there with minimal chatter makes me wonder if the Sox have a handshake in place with one of them, or are at least far enough that they can quickly close once they move salary.

It does scare me that their window to spend any Kimbrel savings could close very quickly with a couple of key signings.

Bro. Andrew Vaughn isn't going to be a 68 OPS+ hitter against RHP just because he did it last year after a year essentially playing no MiLB ball. No one knows where he is "at the moment ". We know what he did last year. That's it. No one is "dumb" for recognizing that Andrew Vaughn is going to be a really good MLB hitter. The only "dumb" thing would be to overreact to a fluke start to a career and turn one of the best hitting prospects in baseball into a weak side platoon hitter.

And let's face it, if Kimbrel opens his mouth and starts problems, it could well affect the offers out there and increase the chances of his not being able to be dealt. He gains everything he wants by playing the game and being quiet right now.

Going to guess there has been some contact between those two with Howard coming through that Sox sponsored intercity baseball program in Chicago.

I am guessing Kimbrel knows the deal and seems to want out, and he isn't going to burn down the building so that it can get done.

The fact he was a plus LF means he could be an all-star LF in his future. He is going to hit enough to do it, and if he can continue to play D at a level above his peers, it is there for him.

This is one dude I hope we don't regret passing on. I was major crushing on him before the draft.

The dude is going to hit. He might not do anything else worthwhile at all, but he is going to HIT.

This should be an autofillin on Soxtalk for every time someone tries to send Andrew Vaughn to Charlotte.

A lot of underground love for this kid.

He has to be on the major league roster after spring training or he has to go through waivers.

No one ever talks about Remilard, yet he keeps quietly creeping through the system.

How much of that is legitimate, and how much of that is some pretty nasty injuries. https://dodgers.mlblogs.com/injury-update-cody-bellingers-rib-fracture-sends-him-to-injured-list-de47768dba8c

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to bring him back. We are going to need arms this year. Granted we need other things, but if we can only make the finances worse, forget it. Go to war with a superpen and put pressure on Tony to figure how to use the guy.

Do you need a driver to the airport?

I would.
