Jack Parkman

Just going to remind everyone that there is a massive difference in slot money drafting 6th vs. 9th.

Because he's pitched a lot of stressful innings +tank

At this point, roll out the tank squad. Shut down Cease as well. Hell of a season, Gio!

That's fine. His swing is still long and slow. Maybe he'll figure it out, maybe he won't. But he should have to earn another look in Charlotte.

Not true. Unless the Sox want to make a trade, he's already the best FA option for RF. Puig and Calhoun are the best FA options. Maybe if Polanco gets non-tendered he's an option as well, but idk what his arm is like after missing the better part of 2 seasons with shoulder surgery.

I'd hope not, but maybe I'm biased because I don't like Collins. I have a very strong dislike for his inability to get hits at the MLB level.

Everything about his first half felt fluky and his second half confirmed it. He works well with the pitchers, and I'd like to keep him around, but they need someone better than him as the every day starter.

No longer sure they get to 70. I think they're going to shut Giolito and Cease down soon. Maybe Lopez too.

Bye guys. See ya after the bye.

This is just ridiculous. What a joke. Fire Pace and Nagy.

I'll take it tbh.

Cousins just made the exact mistake that Trubisky did against GB last week to cost Minny the game. The Vikings called the same exact play the Bears did and it resulted in an INT.

McCann is an excellent backup. Nothing more.

Kirk Cousins blows chunks. Mitch looked better than him last week.

I'm ok with Puig but they better get a LH hitter for DH then. I think Moncada is the only LH hitter penciled in the lineup, and he bats switch.

I'd rather take a flyer on Nomar Mazara, but whatever.

I'm somewhere in between you guys. I think we should just enjoy him playing for the Sox for the next 3 seasons. I say 3 because there is no way in hell they should let him walk for nothing. He's going to have 5+ fWAR this year in 130 games.

Let all of the big guns go after Cole while moving on Strasburg. That being said, since they're both Boras clients so he'll sign after Cole.

Nah he's mildly amusing.

Lol. Guilty as charged. The only question I ever thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?

The Sox really need to get the 7th pick this year. We all know what happened the last time they picked 7th ?

I like the dry humor. I find it amusing.

QFT. I like Benetti.

Cole is a pipedream, but I'd take Strasburg. He's been healthy for 3 seasons and it seems he's put the injuries behind him. I don't know how realistic he is either, but $125-150M on a 5 year deal should get it done. I don't see anyone going 6 years for him due to his injury history.

It's not, but he was making a comment about bad intentions permanently harming people without necessarily the intent to harm requiring the death penalty, and I was just giving a real life example of something like that. I wasn't trying to obfuscate the thread and it is going to end here. I just made a suggestion for him to look up what happened there on his own time. I wasn't trying to derail the thread at all, just made a suggestion for him to look up what happened.
