Nontender deadline almost here
Engel should be used vs LHP and as a defensive replacement. If they pick his spots, he has a better chance to succeed.

He can throw. You could put him in RF and give Luis Robert some track shoes.

If no new RF by Nontender deadline, should Sox tender Mazara?
I think there used to be a rule where if you didn't offer arb and didn't sign the player before the arb deadline, you couldn't negotiate with him until May.

2020 Election Thoughts
In a lawsuit challenging election results in WI, the brilliant @SidneyPowell1 demands “48 hours of security camera recording of all rooms used in the voting process at the TCF Center for Nov 3, 2020 and Nov 4, 2020.” The TCF Center is in Detroit. Oops, wrong state. She really should be sanctioned at least, and perhaps have her law license revoked.

Who DHs to start the season?
Why is this even a question? Vaughn may be the best hitter in the organization.

Offseason Targets
How about when the Sox went for it in 2016 and up the middle they were Dioner Navarro, Brett Lawrie, Jimmy Rollins and Austin Jackson.

2020 Election Thoughts
Donald Trump Jr. is sending texts looking for donors, saying it's desperation time they need to meet their fundraising goals or the recounts are going to go against them. And virtual none of that money, unless the donation is over $8k actually goes to that effort, it goes to the Trump slush fund. First off, it's amazing to me that this grift is legal. Secondly, what scum. So far this grift has put $170 million into his pocket.

I think it was because what happened to them wasn't considered an outbreak. The league just gave them an L.

Mitch lit up Detroit's 3rd string in the 4th quarter at the beginning of the year, and a NY Football Giant dropped a TD pass right in his hands or the Bears would have lost that one. They really are no better than the Lions, and the Lions thought they were so bad, they had to clean house. Why are the Bears not cleaning house? They not only chose Trubisky over Watson and Mahomes, they had to get Mitch so badly, they gave up assets to move up 1 spot to get him. That and the ignoring of the offensive line should be fireable. They also gave up an asset and paid dearly in salary for Foles. WTF? These guys don't have a clue. It's time to move on.

CSN explores Ozuna
If the guy can't play the OF, i don't understand why the Sox wouldn't spend the money on someone who can, or who can keep balls from going over outfielders heads. Vaughn and Abreu will be a fine 1B/DH team.

Offseason Targets
I watched something yesterday where the guy said there is no way they will be able to have spring training in February and March even with the vaccine. He thinks it will be in April, the season will start in May and they will play 130 games with much of the beginning of the season without fans or at least extremely limited.

What will be interesting is the confirmation process. All those republican senators who never saw a Trump tweet are going to be all over Tanden's tweets.

MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
If I was a middle of the road at best free agent, I would sign the first not extremely disappointing offer I get. The market is about to get flooded. Free agency is great for players as long as there aren't a ton of them at a time.

Offseason Targets
Yes, but he got hurt. Bauer can get hurt as well. I hope the Sox sign him, but pitcher injuries don't seem to have to do much with their overall condition. More mechanics, and probably a little luck with genes. Of course, being out of condition can hurt your mechanics.

So does Kopech. A lot of people want to get rid of him.

NFL Thread 2020-2021
Pace has seemed satisfied with the offensive line the past few years. Other than drafting Daniels, he really has done very little. Mitch throwing into triple coverage with a predictable result. Eddie Jackson used to be good.

NFL Thread 2020-2021
Yeah, there was some hope they were winning games playing bad and they would straighten things out and be a really high playoff seed. They are just a terrible team with a coach, GM, and ownership that don’t have any idea how to win.

NFL Thread 2020-2021
That was 2 face mask penalties missed on one play. They really need to fire Nagy and Pace tonight.

NFL Thread 2020-2021
Nagy says Mitch is a changed man. He has seen it. If he saw it, why didn't he go back to him when Foles was stinking up the joint? So much BS. He really is in over his head as a head coach.

2020 Election Thoughts
Building a wall? No. Tax cuts for the rich? No. He has destroyed the Republican Party. They have no idea what they stand for anymore. They have to check with him first. They did get their judges. I wonder when they realize it probably wasn’t worth it. The guy is one big con man. He isn’t anything but a Trump. Many years from now he will be looked at as one of the biggest mistakes, if not the biggest, voters ever made.

He is not a democrat. But he is also not a republican. Yet he has 73 million fooled.

If no new RF by Nontender deadline, should Sox tender Mazara?
There is zero reason to tender him. He won't get anywhere near that from another team.. Offer him a couple of million if it appears you aren't going to get a big bat. If he turns it down, let him walk. I am not against bringing him back, but he will have to take his market rate which isn't very high.
