God damn watching Robert is must see TV

full count, lets go

hes trying to bunt against the shift

Good on the kid, 2 walks!

Agreed this notion that both of them are a dime a dozen is miscast. Honestly I'd like to see Garcia locked up since hes a FA after this year (2-3 years with an option). Engel being the short side of a platoon and providing that defense in an asset, I welcome him to the be 4th outfielder on our next play off team.

Excited to see some real home grown potential weapons down in the pen not named Fry or Bummer. Hoping Burdi joins that trend.

make that 2

Robert is fast

Same, If Colas is signed i'd slot him in ahead of Stiever.

Id say in the 5-7 range before the graduations.

Good better best Matt Thornton Andrew Miller Chris Sale

I like Crochet a lot in this system.

Bailey

and veen is off the board

Personally I'm for a C or a LHP so if its Bailey or Garrett Crochet, I'm fine with either

Id prefer Edwin over Castellanos as it'll be less money and years and hopefully we won't have another Semien situation when Vaughn is ready. DH - Encarnacion C - Grandal# 1B - Abreu 2B - Madrigal SS - Anderson 3B - Moncada# LF - Jimenez CF - Robert RF - Mazara* sign me up for that Ideally move McCann(++) for a reliever or someone like Nimmo. McCann has 1 year left before he is a FA so treating him as Gio's personal catcher does the sox no good long term where someone like Collins is available; it could be weighted differently if Giolito signed a long term deal but even then its suspect; move him; there are plenty of teams that could use him.

18.5 AAV, I'm ok with this

I'm ok with this, provided the details make sense.

roughly 6 WAR To break even and hopefully they don't shit the bed and give away a talent like Semien in the process because there aren't enough ABs.

Where then will they spend the money? on Cole, Rendon or Ozuna? please anyone who has followed this org knows that isn't happening especially after they shit the bed last off-season and got minimal blow back from it.

I'm just saying the calls for locking him up are silly, he still has 1 more year of ARB, play it by ear if he is crushing it up till next ASB sure but until then its just silly. He is more in line with his career then the outlier that was his first half.

I have 0 confidence the sox will be players in this off season's elite free agents with the exception of Will Smith. They're more likely to make a trade or two and sign players like Matt Moore looking for a bounce back with Kopech and Rodon on their way back. I envision something like this and i'm not endorssing bringing back Abreu for more than anything but a year + opition but here it is. Re-Sign Abreu for 2 years 28 Mil with an option for 12M and 4M buy out Sign RP Will Smith* 3 years 29 Mil Sign SP Matt Moore* 1 year 3 Mil Trade SP Dunning/Stiever + OF Rutherford*/Walker* + 1B Sheets* to the Mariners for SP Marco Gonzales* DH - Mercedes C - Collins* 1B - Abreu 2B - Madrigal SS - Anderson 3B - Moncada# LF - Jimenez CF - Robert RF - Garcia# Robert Anderson Moncada# Jimenez Abreu Mercedes Collins* Garcia# Madrigal C - McCann IF - Sanchez# UT - Goins* UT - Mendick SP - Giolito SP - Lopez SP - Gonzales* <- Trade from SEA SP - Cease SP - Moore* / Kopech / Rodon* CL - Colome SU - Bummer* SU - Smith* MR - Fry* MR - Cordero LO - Frare* LR - Hererra

why does everyone have a hard on for locking McCann up long term, post ASB he has been the definition of a back up catcher. Sign Grandal or give Collins the opportunity to show he can't catch. Everyone use to talk about how "bad" flowers was defensively until one day he wasn't and was one of the best defensive catchers in the game.
