Nobody remembers Greg775 asking why Anderson couldn’t be moved to catcher due to his strong arm when he was struggling mightily at SS??? What happened to the old SoxTalk?

Is it normal to start a catcher in CF who has never played there in his lifetime? Hit him third when he’s a career 10/70 in the majors? Start defensive specialist Fletcher in LF? Sheets surrounding Robinson in RF. TA to SS is a long running Greg insider joke you must not be privy to…

https://www.milb.com/player/chuckie-robinson-642020?stats=career-r-fielding-minors&year=2024 Let it be noted he has never played CF in his entire major and minor league career. Unless I am missing something here. Other WC contending teams ought to be pissed. This is a better option than Colas or Fletcher? No, Fletcher in left and Sheets in RF. Napalm 35th and Shields please. Should be noted KC has 4 in tonight’s lineup at 657 or lower and fifth hitter in mid 700’s…yet how many games ahead in the standings?

Failing up at least…

Sounds a bit similar to Shuster…

Just an unmitigated disaster. Now only waiting for either Crochet, our 1-5 or Schultz to go down with UCLs and Robert to get injured seriously a third or is it fourth time? They better make Moncada play down the stretch simply as a punishment. Might as well withhold his salary and trigger a grievance from the MLBPA.

Sure as long as Cowser’s the only one covering CF…

2B seems pretty likely…

Burger not traded…

Feels like overkill when they have 4 solid back end relievers and needed a starter much more desperately. Lesko and Snelling both cratered this year. Mazur also struggled badly. If Scott had additional years of control…but this is an all or nothing type of move like Kimbrel. Don’t understand who fills back end of rotation without Darvish or Musgrove. Salas and De Vrieze are their last two high end guys now. System way way down chasing WC desperately.

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?qual=150&pos=cf&pagenum=1&pageitems=30 Can’t trade at #24 out of mid 40s in CF. 1.0 fWAR vs. Jackson Merrill burying him in value. Or Brenton Doyle in Colorado. Have to hold him if the team is as desperate financially as claimed. Look at #42. Not a shocker…defense always has suppressed his value, especially in center.

Hard to best Anthony Young's 2-19 or whatever it was...

Collins was once called a 1-1 caliber pick by Hostetler

Those quotes sound like the complete diametrically opposite strategy to what Pass an outlined... lol.

Passan: Competition. Teams are blanching at the prices for players now, but that is a consequence of a market with so few available who can provide instant impact. The return for Carlos Estevez and Jason Adam staggered GMs who were in search of relief pitching and emboldened those with it to stick to their initial asks -- and the game of chicken is thus on. But at the end of the day, contenders know they need more, teams subtracting need to take advantage of a fantastic dealers' market and the place in-between represents the deal zone.

Somehow protecting MJ's legacy... twisted thinking in the long run.

why does Kopech seem like Ryan Gosling in this scene?

Benintendi just sucks rotteneggs.

You name your asses? Well, that's... quite unique.

Royals quietly picked up starter depth Michael Lorenzen from the Rangers...

Oh, joy. Loss probability for season now must be under 40 and 120... current betting odds for losses? 1-9 against KC. Yikes. Vargas will be in Chicago tmrw apparently. Michael Lorenzen to the Royals btw. Boosting rotational depth.

Isn't valuing them as equivalent assets baseball malpractice?

2.7 fWAR TOR starter for ten teams in MLB today, #19 ranked after foolishly getting started this last time out 2.7 and trending towards a 4. What does he have... something like 1/4th of team wins? If that's how we value pitching... giving it away for free, why even draft Smith over Cags? The fans of a 120 less team would much rather see some exciting hitters if you have zero speed defense bullpen, etc. Fucking dumbest 1 to 1 evaluation of talent since Brock for Broglio. They will start calling the Sox the No Tool team with Robert gone. Bob from Berwyn or whatever his name has to be contacted by all the local radio call-in programs to rant away.
